Revolutionised the game by just scoring a lot of tries... why the **** did no one else just do that!!!
Alex Johnston fucking immortal the day he retires... has changed the game for wingers!!
I think the ref was telling him that he can't challenge it in general because it was a ruck infringement which is discretionary (as long as the ball didn't come loose).
Souths also gave away 3 penalties in that 1 ruck... basically begging to be binned
I think Edwards was Michael Gordon 2.0... possibly still is to an extent.
He'll catch everything and run for 300m, but you weren't typically relying on him to win you games on his own.
There was a period where panthers were trying Crichton out at fullback and if he weren't so terrible back...
Ah yes back in the day when Lockyer was just catching the ball and running it back... and then Khunt upped the game by catching the ball and running it back even harder... and Darius was just catching the ball and running it back to get his Clive Churchill in 2010.
It wasn't until Billy stopped...

However it's more about which way the onfield ref leans on the 50/50 calls.
The media have been calling it bias now...
I say mandate, because there was definite influence in the cows vs broncos games between 2015 - 17 by the refs for the games to end up that close... they're trying to build this rivalry up to the same level, Dolphins are coming in with no form so they probably won't want to let it blow out and...
Hence the usage of should... our forward pack, specifically our middles, should not be getting dominated.
They need to take shit personally and go with the mindset of dominating their opposite
Yeah I think X has dialed it back a little bit because of the errors and penalties in his first two games.
Hopefully he's just easing himself into the season and he'll be terrorising them again soon.
He should be a huge point of difference for us coming off the bench.
Teams just should not be...
Yep they will have a mandate to keep this close... hopefully our fitness holds out and we can be efficient when we do get a chance.
Need to win this with high completion rate, Patty and Payne dominating the middle and Reynolds kicking game.
Would also like to see a real uptick in energy from...
