[Foordy]

You know i did laugh at Tripp and the Storm having the gall to call another team arrogant

 

[Mustafur]

Hope storm get smashed.

 

[Fozz]

And Coates knocks it in the contest in the air. Where have I heard that before?

 

[Battler]

I swear Coates would be playing reserve grade if he was still at the broncos

 

[Fernando]

NAS has been outstanding

 

[Battler]

The smith hia with 15 mins left until half time…

 

[Mustafur]

The smith hia with 15 mins left until half time…

it's honestly soo easy to rig, just pretend to get up gingerly then the Video doctor takes you off.

don't even need your own team to do it to make it look legit.

 

[BroncsFan]

it's honestly soo easy to rig, just pretend to get up gingerly then the Video doctor takes you off.

The trainer can take you off whenever he wants.

The only issue is if they pick up a genuine HIA later in the game after returning, because a second HIA is automatic out for the game.

Panthers had a HIA as well... Eisenhuth at the 20mins mark... two cheating teams playing each other... they might get 20 substitutions each before the night is over

 

[Mustafur]

The trainer can take you off whenever he wants.

Yeah, but having the Video Doctor do it is way less suspicious, there is obvious risks with the 2nd HIA taking you out, but my guess is these teams have worked out the percentages of that happening and going for a calculated risk.

 

[BroncsFan]

Miles forward that last pass

 

[BroncsFan]

Yeah, but having the Video Doctor do it is way less suspicious, there is obvious risks with the 2nd HIA taking you out, but my guess is these teams have worked out the percentages of that happening and going for a calculated risk.

They probably do it every week... they clearly don't care if it's suspicious or not... I didn't even see Eisenhuth go off for a HIA.

If the independent doctor calls them off the ref stops the game first... I don't recall that occurring on either sub... although I haven't really been paying attention to the game

 

[Foordy]

what's happened to the Panthers?

taking out your halves shouldn't mean you forget how to defend

 

[Wolfie]

Miles forward that last pass

Look a little questionable. Have to say though I think Kenny Bromwich is playing the best I have ever seen him

 

[Wolfie]

what's happened to the Panthers?

taking out your halves shouldn't mean you forget how to defend

Yep, it's not like the Storm aren't missing plenty either.

 

[BroncsFan]

Look a little questionable. Have to say though I think Kenny Bromwich is playing the best I have ever seen him

Says the 'The' fan

 

[Mustafur]

They probably do it every week... they clearly don't care if it's suspicious or not... I didn't even see Eisenhuth go off for a HIA.

If the independent doctor calls them off the ref stops the game first... I don't recall that occurring on either sub... although I haven't really been paying attention to the game

Yeah I mean it's the NRL they probably don't have enough brain cells to rub together to work out what is happening.

 

[Mustafur]

what's happened to the Panthers?

taking out your halves shouldn't mean you forget how to defend

Their hardest working player Edwards is out, is probably the only thing I can point out on.
