Round 3 Discussion

The easy way to solve that though is by not letting it kick in until the HIA assessment mark of 10 minutes has passed. You will never stop the truly devious from rorting it to a point, but i doubt tactically you could afford to wait 10 mins to make the change in a tight game.

I hate how they let the guy attack or defend for an extra few sets and then sub him off. Make it like the RU subs, once your off for any reason your gone for the game, but increase the bench to 8. Cover for Sharks/Raider type problems, doesn't allow forwards like NAS to come back into the game, and give coaches enough to carry spare backs as well as forwards.
But if you want to stop the rorting of the HIA rule, for 3 weeks the "independent" doctor rules that every HIA ruling is failed. See it stop pretty bloody quickly after the 2nd week of that happening.
 
Todd Payten reminds me of someone.

I tend to disagree on this one. If our club were more proactive in protecting our name and our boysI don't think we'd be so much the whipping boys as we are now. The Broncos as a club let the media and the NRL walk all over them at present.

Fair call.

I'm actually surprised that it took Melbourne this long to respond.

Kunt flat out attacked Bellamy's integrity... and it was a solid burn as well.

Have no idea how Tripp has kept his gob shut for this long considering the spray... and how this hasn't been headline news for all of last week

I find it funny that storm say they wont be going down a legal path... maybe Tripp is looking at the invoices following his loss to Donaghy (who rocked up to represent himself) and doesnt want to pay the coin for something he will inevitably lose... he'll probably spew some shit in the media threatening it, but then won't bother going through with the case even though he talks about defending his people and it's his coach who has been absolutely torched publicly

I would fucking love it to end up as a legal issue, so that their tactics can be brought in to the spotlight once again and so the Storm are forced to come up with a reason why the criticism is not warranted.

I still haven't actually heard anyone publicly call them out on their current HIA rorts. As someone here already said, the best way to look at it will be to look at all of the HIA's that they've had players come off for and subsequently passed, look at how long they were on the field prior to the HIA, and compare that to when they would normally be interchanged.

Any rights the Storm have to suggesting changes under the guise of "player welfare" should rightly be scoffed at, they are a disease on the game.
 
Watching the replay of the Panthers vs Storm match.

Did Klein forget the rule regarding offside players playing at the ball?

But crying to the NRL over how some Fox journo said some bad words just makes you look even worse.

We are always going to have the media on us especially when we have been at our worst in history performance wise.

Yeh i get your point, but I don't think calling out a shit-turd journo who has severly burned Bellyache's integrity would be classified as crying though. If the low-life said the same about Kevvie I'd expect nothing less of our board.
