Round 1 Discussion

Blair wasn't even the best prop for the Broncos.

Aiden Tolman 25 runs (164m), 43 Tackles (1 Missed) and in general was directing the Dogs attack (with Graham).
 
Wonder who decides these teams? There is no way in the world that Blair was better then Graham.

Jack Brady.

He doesn't seem to think so either - Graham is the #10!

Are you under the impression that the numbers refer to rank?
 
To be fair, Graham and Tolman is the Bulldogs equivalent of Thaiday and Blair.

Can be hard to tell them apart from a distance. :laugh:
 
Paasi has been robbed. He should be in the team of the week.
 
Alright, caught a replay myself and it was how I remembered it.

What's happened is, de Belin has gone for the hit and spin, Kaufusi has knocked the ball loose and in trying to regather the ball by using his wrist and his body he's promoted it into Kaufusi's arm, constituting a knock on.

Normally I'd let it go but the idea of it being impossible intrigued me.

NRL 360 tonight, Paul Kent - "It defies physics, how is he able to knock the ball forward if he's facing his own in-goal and drops it"

Or something along those lines. :lol: Great minds think alike.
 
Paul Kent on the same show - I've never seen a better ball-playing fullback, nobody has revolutionised the game like him - not even Locky compares.

Maybe he should use his brain for once and not shoot off from the mouth.

I must've turned it off before that, who was that in reference to? Slater?
 
The one and only.

I was actually going to make a thread about it since Kenty says silly things like that all the time. You just happened to beat me to the punch.

Agree, we need a thread to capture the stupid shit Paul Kent says.
 
Yeah. There were some shocking calls. Mostly in Melbourne's favour.

The first two high ball penalties annoyed me too. One each way. The first was when Slater pushed the blocker out the way (into the guy jumping for the ball). Not sure if the penalty was for pushing or contact with the legs. Either way I don't agree with it even if it was right. If you are blatantly blocking you are fair game for a shove in my opinion.
The second was a penalty when St George legitimately contested the highball and got penalised. There was barely contact and the Melbourne player fell over.

There was one point at St George's line where Melbourne were ALL offside and nothing was called (except for one guy in the crowd).

Melbourne fans are just too fair for their own good. I went to the game on Monday night (purely because I needed a live game fix) and as a complete neutral, even I found it a snorefest. The crowd is almost non-existent for 12000+ people. The MC/ground announcer just doesn't do anything. The mascot has a very loud cowbell which the crowd get behind but he does it like once a half. It was so boring! Even the 'passionate' Storm fans in my section were less noisy than me and WAY more fair.
 
Gillett should have been in the team of the week too.
