Or how about USING YOUR FUCKING FOOT TO PLAY IT AND NOT JUST ROLLING IT like we have been told a million times but "Big Nelson" doesn't have to do it ever.

FYI, I can't take anything away from the Storm's win, they toughed it out and found a way to win.

But **** me, they still know how to target the head/neck area. They can't just do the "unscrew Sam Thaiday's head" move any more, and pressure from the back of the head is now gone, but they still use their wrestling moves to put dangerous amounts of pressure either sideways, backwards, or even forwards in a way that it's not a traditional crusher. Eels players were doing their best not to react because that's what the Storm want, but it was pretty fucking blatant. Harry Grant the worst for sure.

I was surprised at some of the shit that Grant was pulling.

Forward passes last night were ridiculous, especially from Hodgson from dummyhalf. Where a player has passed the ball and the ball has left his hands, the receiver of the pass should be behind from the passing players hands. None of this it floated forward bullshit. A player should be behind the passing player, you get taught as soon as you begin to play you have to be behind the player passing you the ball.

This happened multiple times last night, without any refereeing input.

It happens every game a 'good' team is playing in.

Dom Young has been so poor and looks lazy tonight.

 

[Kimlo]

Dom Young has been so poor and looks lazy tonight.

That's why the Roosters are only paying 200k for him.

 

[Sproj]

Can't see either of these teams being there at the business end of the season.

 

[Organix]

The ruck infringements have been many and varied in this match. Quite inconsistently called, might I add?

 

[Broncapz]

Storm and Parra look beatable. Warriors and Knights should be 4 competition points.

 

[Sproj]

Nice try.

 

[Organix]

Dom Young again

 

[Organix]

Is Tuala new to that position?
