Finals Week 2 - Broncos vs Dragons - Post Match Discussion

[john1420]

morris didn't clearly look badly hurt, it looked more like he was trying to find a way to play on in some way. when guys are seriously hurt it's usually obvious - they don't look like they are contemplating passing the pill. i don't really like hodges coz he does have a bit of the grub in him, but there's just no way he did the wrong thing here. people calling it the worst thing they have seen don't seem to recall an unnamed NSW player deliberately picking up an unconscious Steve Price and dumping him. if the hodgo thing is the worst thing you've seen you've not seen much rugby league

Reports suggesting hodges could face a contrary conduct charge for the hit on Morris. Surely a gee up

 

[user_nat]

I don't agree with what he did, but he didn't break any rules. Would be a joke if he were charged.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Was reported by the website sportsnewsfirst.

If he gets charged I won't be following rugby league anymore. Utter disgrace IMO. Can't possibly compare it to Justin poore on Steve price in origin. Nrl ####heads at it again.

Total rubbish. I didn't particularly like what Hodges did, but he played the whistle and you could definitely argue that Morris looked like he might be trying to get up and play on. No way should he be charged.

 

[Coxy]

Referees should be charged with contrary conduct for not calling time off when they saw Morris injured.

 

[nathano11]

Morris could of been done for voluntary tackle

 

[Big Pete]

The NRL surely can't compare what Hodges and Poore did.

Hodges had every right to do what he did. It's not in the spirit of the game, but neither is diving for penalties.

Poore had absolutely no right to do what he did. Absolutely none.

NRL has to try all they can to keep the only NSW side remaining alive.

The most pleasing thing about last night was that we out grinded the Dragons. The game was a complete contrast to last week's and I was concerned we might have been found out given the way we dominated the Warriors but we matched St George and found that little bit extra at the end when we needed it.

Just listening to some of Griffen's presser last night and he highlighted the pose of the team. How well did our players go in the cauldron of semi-final football? Those young players showed poise beyond their years.

Couldn't have written a better script for Locyer's last game at Lang Park. It was a bastard of a kick but when it went over I was jumping up and down and screaming so hard I almost blacked out. Phenomenal stuff. My Dad was in town for the game and was there with me - it was definitely a moment he'll never forget either.

I'm worried that we might run out of petrol at the back end of next week's game but at the momentum the momentum we're building is irresistible. I'm not daring to dream yet but it's getting hard not to think of fairytales right now...

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but did anyone see A dragons fan throw a bottle at the head of a touch judge? surprised nothing has come of it.

 

[Fozz]

Yeah, I saw that too. During the last ten minutes or so when Soward was lining up for a kick, wasn't it? Or waiting for the video ref?

 

[pennywisealfie]

I think it was just before half time when Corey was lining up for his penalty kick

 

[Fozz]

Actually, that sounds about right.

From what I remember it only barely made it to his feet, happened right in front of me. It was only an empty cole bottle too.

Meeeaannn game, sucks over here its all about the Warriors.. and how quickly they forget the week before when we put'em to the sword...all of a sudden Vatuvei is a saint round here and then was asked what he thought about the Storm, he was pretty cocky with his response that they have no fear and that theyd run over Melbourne..

absolutely loved Sat nites game, we really stood up to the Dragons, just hope theres still gas left in the tank for another hard game vs Manly...

Lockyer you're my hero
