You could also argue, that he was firstly knocked out than secondly loses the ball.
When a player is knocked out or seriously injured, play stops. So anything after the knock out or serious injury is not a play on. I can't get over Paul Kent and Gasnier talking about it last night, really proud of Kevin walters sticking it to them it's as simple as player welfare.

Me too. Could not have been prouder of Kevvie. The look on his face, you could see he couldn't believe he was hearing this bullshit.

They are morons, plain and simply.
If it had have been a Sharks player or a Dragons played knocked their attitude's would have been very different.
Both put the slipper into the Broncs at every opportunity.
Gritty win but gee we miss Mccollough tying the middle up in defence. If we could tighten the middle up I reckon we could beat Melb but I just can't see our front row getting it done.

If Boyd and TPJ are back there could be a chance that Wayne will throw Thaiday in at starting hooker again and get Hunt to come off the bench.
I actually wouldn't mind this against the big Storm pack.

Some real sad sacks here. NEWS FLASH...Broncos won! They played 10 times better than last week. They weren't perfect but showed real resolve. Moga and Mead were great and for the most part so was everyone else. Minus one weak arm tackle by Benji and they kept their opponent scoreless.
Will the Storm lose sleep worrying about next week? Not likely but you have to be in it to win it and stranger things have happened. Turn the smile upside down frowners and enjoy a win for **** sake.

I don't think we will see that. If we are to beat the Storm I think we need to score points early and Hunt is one of our most potent players in that department.

Reading the posts you'd think we were knocked out of the finals. Attitude and belief wins finals, not 10/10 performances by every player. A ball got dropped and the broncos were the first to jump on it, our scramble defence was unreal, we had 1 player left on the bench, and we showed the fight that can win a premiership. Every team left in the finals has enough talent to beat any other team. It's the drive, attitude and belief with a good game plan mixed in.
We didn't play good enough to beat Melbourne tonight everyone but here's a newsflash, we weren't playing Melbourne last night! We fixed up our weakness (defence, although mogas rushing in may still haunt us and Marshall has the odd arm grab: blair was a giant in defence in his second stint along with McGuire, hunt (!), and Thaiday). We can score PLENTY of points if we need too.
We haven't played Melbourne in a finals match since 2009. They have been playing at 95% all season. We know what they will bring. Everyone is kidding themselves if they don't think Bennett hasn't saved a game plan for Melbourne in the finals. Melbourne should have won a lot more premierships with the immortals in their team and wrestling superiority but Bellamy shows all his cards throughout the season. Bennett saves his for games like this. Whether it works is a 50/50 but if it does we pull off the unexpected rather then left wondering...

I normally agree play the whistle. But there are limits.
Player safety in a situation like that is the only thing that mattered.
If he vomits into his lungs while play carries on or someone steps on him and messes his spinal cord how would that play not only for the poor player but the officials and the NRL. How do you get kids to play a game like NRL after parents see Panthers dancing at their try while Oates is out cold?
Besides play was affected. Broncos players stopped because of appropriate concern as did refs. Panthers saw same thing and couldn't care less by looks of it.
Freddie was being a biased prick as usual. If situations were reversed the channel nine commentary would only focus on the poor Panthers player and how could Broncs think of playing on.
BTW panthers took the piss when May did his knee. Had time to go from hospital and back for an MRI in the time it took them to decide to leave the field.
Except when it counted... Flat track bullies don't make premiers.

This is starting to become an issue and it's something the NRL needs to start cracking down on.
Players that are sin binned, players coming off for injury & head knocks taking forever to get off the field which disadvantages the attacking team as they lose any momentum they had and it gives the defending team time to set their line and get a breather.
If the NRL are fair dinkum about speeding up the game, they will cut that shit out.

Shot clock for getting off the field or it's a penalty.
Except when they need assistance, of course.
