CROSS FORUM NRL 2023 Round 24 Discussion

[Harry Sack]

You know what I liked, the guy in the Bunker, he was actually rational and calm, he explained what he was trying to look at, he didn't rush, he explored all the angles, he stepped you through his process so you understood his reasoning behind his decision.

It was completely opposite to the rushed and paranoid decision making process based on secret discussions between officials in the NRL bunker.................and the commentators left him too it without trying to influence the decision.

The SL bunker absolutely shits all over ours. It was on full display in the World Cup as well.

 

[Super Freak]

This is just embarrassing from the bunker.

You could maybe, MAYBE make an argument that Walker wasn't offside. Camera angles can be deceptive and remember it's both feet behind the ball, not the whole body.

However, there is no argument for Mitchell. He was offside and he's the one that contests for the ball and passes it to Walker. Illias doesn't run him onside.

Only way he could then not be offside is if the Dragons player contests for the ball, loses possession and Mitchell is outside 10 metres when that happens. Which doesn't happen.

But the bunker hits "Try Confirmed" and another week we're talking about another howler from the bunker.

How the **** this was not overturned is baffling.

The ESL is better in every single way except one, it doesn't have the Brisbane Broncos. Better game, better refs, better commentators, better fans. There is nothing the NRL does better, it is embarrassing.

Do you think on average that SL fans have better teeth than NRL fans?

 

[Brocko]

Raiders have started well

 

[Waynesaurus]

Hate both of these teams so I'm torn whether its better to have the Storm in the top 4 and hope they play Penrith first round of the finals or go for a Raiders win and knock those Storm farkers out of the top 4.

 

[BroncsFan]

Is Vossy even watching the game anymore or does he just call the game how he thinks it should play out?

Video clearly shows Coates touching it "Well that's all Wighton isn't it??"

 

[Organix]

The **** was that Rugby ruck shit from Welch? Geez I hate Storm. The ref has already given them a few leg-ups and that challenge was needed. Raiders should be icing their chances, though

He was giving credit to Raiders getting the ball outwide with three passes like it was some huge play, they went nowhere with it.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Raiders getting opportunities but you can only blow so many of them against a side like the Storm before it comes back to haunt you.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Just like that

 

[GCBRONCO]

Melbourne getting a roll on here now, another try here and Raiders are really in trouble.

 

[GCBRONCO]

And they knock on lol, challenging now

 

[Waynesaurus]

Raiders probably need to muscle up in defense and start bashing them for a bit.

 

[GCBRONCO]

That Raiders player lucky they scored that try, he would have been binned for that

 

[Organix]

I don't think they have much choice otherwise. Storm is dominating them. Too fast.

 

[broncos4life]

Coates is such an average player. The hype on him is so weird.
