Weyman dragqueens new milkman?

[ozjet1]

It wasn't a king hit despite the disgraceful carry on in the media by the Titanscum the week afterwards. He just belted him. Was good to see.

Connjob was very lucky it didn't really connect, because that was as intentional as you'll ever see and would have been a send off if he had found his mark.

how the f**k was that good to see? this aint MMA - and i enjoy that sh*t.

Weyman got up and just popped him. there couldve been something in the tackle but Conn didnt expect that response. im f**king certain that most of you merkins who condone this sh*t are just aggressive lowlives and deadsh*ts of society.

that's not to say Conn's attempeted square-up should be condoned either. just shows how f**king stupid the merkin is when he chooses a GF to even up where the whole city is watching the game. He shouldve been sent off if he really connected and wouldve lost the game for SYD then and there. Even tho he seemed to just grazed Weyman, those temple-shots with force behind them can be just as effective at bringing someone down as decent hit. the force with which weyman ended up hitting the deck combined was enough to knock him out.

Agreed. I remember clearly an incident in the Raiders match in Townsville where Bowen fell into a Mogg tackle, which got him around tge shoulders even with him falling, and he stayed down like he'd been knocked out.

The tackle was so innocuous, the only contact with the head was Mogg's arm brushing past it like a feather. He miraculously recovered as soon as Mogg was laughably placed on report and a penalty was awarded.

Bowen is hands down the worst diver in the NRL. It isn't even a close contest.

Bowen wouldn't even make the top 50.

Ben Kennedy is the all time king, to dive in Origin is the lowest of the low.

Especially when your a 110kg backrower and not a 65kg Murri Hobbit.

No. Bowen is easily number 1 diver with Hayne 2nd.

Raiders_failures has never ever ever conceded a positive. he is on the negative side of every discussion about the Dragons and starts a stack of them. his bias and hate for the Dragons is almost psychotic. for this reason, any discussion about the Dragons should have all and sundry completely ignoring him.

He must be curled up in a corner this morning after our GREAT win. Only taking a break to spew more Dragon hate. Eat sh*t and die you F*cker, HATER.

 

[brokendigit]

Did Conn play?

He must've ben one of about 13 Roosters who brilliantly below-average in a completely mediocre team.

They were the 6th best team in the comp - and last night proved even that to be an overestimation.

Whilst there wasn't much in it from the TV footage, I am not doubting Weyman at all when he leaves the field and doesn't return (he didn't did he?) in a Grand Final. Please. A rep player of his quality will be doing anything to be on the field. He was hurt.

 

[Firey_Dragon]

Yes because every player, especially one like Weyman wants to pretend to be concussed and not return to a GF game for the remaining 55 minutes. Players live for that game, no chance in hell he took a dive.

It didn't look like much, but there was contact, he also hit the ground hard too. It was clearly just one of those incidents that look innocuous but hit the sweet spot.

The guy has been playing in agony all year with groin problems, I highly doubt he'd pretend to get knocked out and sit out the rest of a GF on the sidelines.

 

[yawn]

He got punched by a bare fist to the top of his skull.

It's possible he got knocked badly.

Danny Green tapped a real boxer wearing gloves.

Also he was attacked from the side as he was falling. That's different to being hit with gloves in a ring while you are standing.

Also you cant throw flying punches in boxing. It is not practical or legal. The amount of power you can generate in an instant in a flying punch would be comparable to a trained boxers punch.

Also if his jaw was part open trying to get a big breath in as he was taking the tackle to ground. That makes him more likely to be knocked out.

If only conn had realized to slide in knees first all would have been well

You mean like Minichiello did in Nightingale's second try?

I don't know, Robbie Farah is pretty close to the best in the NRL.

 

[gregstar]

It was absolutely pathetic. Makes me ashamed that he's a former Raider

Cheating diving scum

you complete me.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

you complete me.

ok.

 

[moik]

I was at the game and haven't seen a replay yet but from what I saw on the big screen the bump on the temple came from a head clash in the tackle. Conn's was a glancing blow and did no damage.

you sure it wasn't the coaches decision to leave him on the bench due to the fact that he was playing the worst he has played all year- if not longer

 

[bottle]

No, you're right. A coach of Bennett's calibre decides to play out the GF with a 3 man interchange for 55 mins.
Pure genius. With insight like that you should coach.

yes and bennett sent out one of the trainers with a hammer to put the lump on weymans head.

fmd these boards can be dumb

2 man interchange for 50 minutes. Merrin didn't take the field till around the 75th minute.

So, out of curiosity how many people in here weighing in with their opinions, as entitled as they are to do so, have been hit by a fist with or without a glove in a serious fight as I imagine they are basing their opinions on some kind of experience or knowledge here?

Anyway, having been on the end of both the gloved fist and the bare knuckles, hits to the DIRECT top of the head (crown) don't hurt unless its with a bit of steel BUT there are a few sweet spots on the head and face (above or on the temple, under the nose, cheekbones, lips) and Weyman appears to have copped a shot just above his temple.
As for jaw positioning, its optimum to have it moderately clenched but don't let the teeth touch (get hit in the jaw with a hook and you might be springing for some dental work) bringing the bottom of the jaw forward with your tongue positioned behind the teeth, I very much doubt Weyman had time to do that when he was on the ground.
That is hard enough to remember, a mouth guard helps create this position naturally, but doesn't do it completely.

If you would like to test this theory, open your mouth as wide as you can and have someone hit you as hard as they can just above your ear (with a glove on) and you'll feel an interesting sensation.
Now imagine the increased "sensation" if your jaw is being held in the opposite direction by the ground.
Now imagine that "sensation" if you weren't expecting it.

As for him playing the worst he has played all year, he made more metres than Conn and missed most of the game through no fault of his own, what is Conn's excuse for getting 21 minutes of game time?

 

[Glen]

He probably could have come back on after the daze wore off but by then the Dragons would have had a good lead up. Why would Bennett send on a guy who was concussed earlier once they had a match-winning lead? No point risking it.

Anyone suggesting he was milking it is kidding themself

The bold bit hits the nail on the head.
Aside from being a f**king good footballer, Weyman is also studying engineering.
The last thing he needs is to have his f**king brains rattled around anymore than necessary, going out there having already been rattled is asking for trouble.

You need to put the needs and considerations of "Weyman, the bloke who needs to survive for maybe 50 + years when his career has ended" way ahead of "Weyman, the bloke Saints need to be a human battering ram for a few more years" at some point.
