I have no problem with Taylor's 5 weeks.

He had carry over points for a similar tackle.

Luke wins cat of the year for his disgraceful dive.

Probably the worst I've seen.

Agreed.

Cowboys should have closed that match out 20 minutes previously, but it's even more gutting to lose that way.

Need to bring in penalties ala soccer for diving, but seeing as we can't even rule on forward passes correctly ......

Luke should hand in whatever man cards he has left.

It was so bad he deserved to be penalised.

Luke, what a piece of ****.

Should be charged for bringing the game into disrepute.

It's ridiculous.

I thought the video ref. couldn't call a penalty unless it was reportable?

He took a dive, but he still took a good shot across the chops in the sweet spot. I have seen lesser ones get the penalty (without the dive) and lesser ones knock players out, while worse have been missed. Either way, IMO we probably would have won by the field goal if he got up and played the ball. Anyways meow to Bully :haha:.

Just in response to my earlier question, that tackle was deemed reportable.

What a joke.

The replay is even more damning it was a massive dive. The initial contact drew NO reaction and two seconds later he knows he can draw a penalty so he starts going limp and then just straight out dives. It's a joke, and I'm not sure who's worse, the player, or the game that attracts that sort of play.

It's a shame really, because Souths deserved to be admired for that victory, instead they just spoilt it.

Deadset. I'm filthy on that little prick. :ranting:

I have absolutely no love for "the laugh of the league", but I don't need any bias to call this the worst diving cheat I've seen in the game.
Amazing how he was able to hold on real tight to the ball while dropping unconscious... :shake:

The Cowboys can really only blame themselves to allow 50uff$ to come back, as they were clearly the better team over the 80 minutes.
Only positive is that the dunnies must have used up their luck for 2011 and 2012 in this single game and will have none left for next week. Here's hoping the Broncos put 50 on them!

Sutton is out for the season, Merritt and Taylor are both struggling with injuries.

The Broncos better put 50 on em.

Concussion.

Doctors ruled him out.

Good move from Souths, you've got to remember every game is virtually sudden death.
