Ponga got his kicking boots on today

I'm fine in that instance for them to support the on-field call.

It was a 50/50, you could just as easily rule it a loose carry and Starling is just looking to prevent the offload.

There is a stripping action, even if he doesn't rake at it, the result is still the same. It was the right call.

Massive kick

 

[JayPee]

Slick stuff from Gamble and Ponga. Wighton woke them up.

Young got hammered very late then by rapana

This might have broken the back of the Raiders.

Beautiful pass by gamble

Wighton's edge getting torched

 

[JayPee]

Young with a dodgy pass. Nearly stuffed it.

He sure did. Newcastle need to really watch their key players right now.

Got to give it to him, Gamble's a wily little bugger.

I agree, but that's part of the problem.

Sometimes they deem it a steal, others they don't.

Realistically, like this time they should back the on field if they are unsure.

 

[Sproj]

Still not sure this is over, Newcastle need to score again you'd think and then it might break open.

Bradman also had both points of the ball exposed, it was a loose carry.

The old 'hands on the ball' stupidity can always be used as an excuse for the penalty anyway.

 

[Horseheadsup]

Wow Gamble.

 

[Brocko]

Holy shit
