Worst moments of the 2019 season...

[simmo05]

Seeing Farah running freely today would be up there

Nooo.....seeing him run on would be on top of the list!

 

[t-ba]

You poor f**ks.

 

[SBD82]

Nooo.....seeing him run on would be on top of the list!

Surely not. Surely not.

 

[TheFrog]

Easts and Melbourne dominating yet again. Not that they aren't outstanding teams, but the cycle now needs to move on. It's been going on far too long for the good of the game.

After Penrith and Canberra played their second successive grand final in '91, both missed the finals the following year and other teams got a go. That needs to happen with Easts and Melbourne.

 

[Timmah]

So, Jake T dropping Hughes on his head was not worth a sin bin or suspension, yet Cotric's tackle on Lafai was worth a sendoff and 3 weeks. Really?

Really?

100% you say nothing about it if you're not a Storm fan.

Round 5, Cowboys v Melbourne when this happened and the Referees let play run on -

Other teams gotta get better.

Unless you want the premiership to turn into a participation award and everyone gets a high 5 for trying and having fun?

 

[King hit]

The drooling over a convicted salary cap fraud

Round 5, Cowboys v Melbourne when this happened and the Referees let play run on -

Did the ref not stopping play contribute in any way to the severity of the injuries? Did it prevent anyone helping them? Am I missing something? Now we're stopping every time someone is slow to get up and onside.

Which is originally why the process was changed.

The refs just can't win.

 

[Tronald Crump]

The suspension of Kikau for a shoulder charge when it was a borderline late hit.

 

[Tronald Crump]

Listening to an Ivan Cleary press conference.

I agree. Those poor f**ks are flat out ruling a knock-on, forward pass or try. Now they're supposed to diagnose players on the run, of course they're gonna call T/O by default.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

Referee bollocks. Ruined so many games

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

On-field.

1 - The return of the eye gouge.
2 - The acreage on many teams' NRL Jerseys devoid of sponsorship throughout the year. Never seen it this bad. Not essentially a "Moment" but for mine it's not not been good to see at all, very concerning and hopefully turns' around next year.
3 - The complete implosion of the Knights. Not my team but geezus..

Off-field.
1 - well that's akin to a Tolstoy novel..

It’s too risky to sponsor an nrl team with all the off field shit. I’ve been close to the sponsorship team in a couple of large organisations and they’d never touch an nrl team for this reason. Fix the off field shit if you want sponsors of any description. Even the $2 companies are dodging the nrl teams now

Panelists loved the old "the refs arent doctors" line, you dont have to be when somones leg is facing the wrong f@$king way. Even if he was blind the screams would have been a pretty good hint

 

[Saxon]

100% you say nothing about it if you're not a Storm fan.

Rubbish. Possibly it's more in my mind than say the Kikau suspension, but I'm pretty sure I would have used it regardless because it's a brutally clear example of the inconsistency in a couple of almost identical events.

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Not a worst moment but a worst 250 odd days.

The fact that Buzz Rothfield is still alive.

 

[BIG RIG]

Dragons - Titans game on Saturday will be up there by the end of it

Absolutely understand it, and why the acreage is there. It’s a sad state of affairs and hopefully this will right itself in the near future.
