Round 19 - Titans vs Broncos

How can anyone on here with a straight face defend the tpj shoulder to the face? Blokes lucky to still be in the game

It’s called mitigating circumstances, player was dropping and he was attempting a tackle.

I agree report and sin bin probably warranted to be consistent. What I don't agree with is that it is completely different or worse than the Ponga tackle. Brandy defending the Ponga tackle but slamming Pangi is hypocritical

For starters wasn't even close to a shoulder charge, the contact was head to chest. Agree it was quite reckless so don't disagree with the refs handling in the moment. But nothing illegal other than it being high. Between the push and falling player there should be no case to answer

You're making the shot sound as though Pangai went in with a stiff arm Adrian Morley style.
 
His argument was moronic. It doesn't matter that TPJ didn't have eyes for the ball. He tackled a grounded player. It wasn't early. Why the hell would he need to have eyes for the ball in that scenario.
Expect no less from Brandy, fucking wanker.
 
Also how good is it to have Isaako back in form? As soon as he took over the kicking tee again, he was flying

He's been flying since he came back after his couple of weeks off for personal reasons. Makes you wonder if possibly that's what's been holding him back this season, off-field dramas with a family illness.
 
Like I said, He did a big tackle while being big, that's not allowed in this competition.

The Whole system is hugely unfair to Bigger players.

Smaller players get away with Shoulder Charges and the lot constantly.

I think TPJ's issue will be that his shoulder came in contact with his head. Wasn't a shoulder charge as both his arms are wrapping.

It should be penalty sufficient but the NRL is full retard at the moment.

Will probably get 2 weeks... if it comes down as only 1 week we should take the early and walk away.
Define shoulder. The head makes contact in a triangular area of TPJ bound by the armpit, pec and bicep. He ran into him at speed and contact was made with the head but not with parts of the body that can be realistically 'aimed'.
