CROSS FORUM NRL 2023 Round 7 Discussion

[Brocko]

This game is completely gotten so soft and the games of old would be rolling over in their graves if they could see this.

Mate the last 2 bins were a shoulder to the head and a professional foul. Not exactly a new thing that those are sin bins.

The hip drop one, sure. Complete accident.

 

[Big Pete]

Easy fucking binning that one... shoulder straight to the face.

My memory could be deceiving me, but wasn't Ezra's tackle on Whitehead similar? McInnes spun out of the tackle and dipped. Penalty for sure but the binning seemed borderline.

FYI Broncos mods - BroncosHQ member comments are not appearing on the NZW forum, despite being active on the thread. Ours are appearing on yours, so all chat is one way!

Yeah they haven't set up our round 7 thread on their site. Broncos fans can you please send abuse to Nashy to fix up :)

And Rapana's shoulder on Capewell... he positions his shoulder on Capewell's head and then drives through to the ground... was that similar to a Kaufusi one last year or so?

Was Ezra on the backfoot somewhat when Whitehead tripped in front of him??

Cheese was coming forward and makes direct contact with the head... if that's the case I would class that as to why he gets binned and Ezra doesn't.

hes had a fair few injuries... reckon his confidence might be a bit shook - definitely not his best night

Looks like Ezra starts low and props up and makes direct contact to the head.

For mine, that was just as bad as the Cheese tackle on first glance.

Used to hate the Sharks in the Gallen/Bird/Fifita/Lewis/Graham days (with Stuart or Flanagan as coach).

Hynes/Kennedy/Nikora are making me enjoy watching them.

I wish them well now that they're nice.

Thought he got paid out entirely by the Warriors last season so no ongoing payments.

Looks like he should be on our books this year though.

Broncos pay Lodge's way to Warriors as Capewell commits

Brisbane prop Matt Lodge will become a Warrior with immediate effect while the Broncos have signed Queensland State Of Origin representative Kurt Capewell from 2022 onwards.

I thought when you pay out someone that contract is still on your books for the seasons signed because otherwise wouldn't it blow the books on the year you do it?

Roosters lost all their away games this year! Next away game is the Warriors!

who was the 6 you used in the Sharks game, and why isn't he there for this game with TMM out?

 

[BroncsFan]

For mine, that was just as bad as the Cheese tackle on first glance.

To me yes Ezra is pushing himself into the tackle and bracing for the contact, but he's basically succumbing in the tackle and then working him onto his back (why I thought he made contact off the back foot) ... whilst Whitehead is driving forward through his run.

Whereas Cheese is driving through that tackle with his shoulder... no intent to catch and wrap.

 

[Mustafur]

I'm far from a Manly fan but a Packed out Brookie is a special place, not that I will ever see it in person since we never play there lol.

Yeah, good point. If they had room then they could bring forward the payments I guess.

Ronald Volkman and he normally plays 7 in NSW cup. Still has some work on the defensive side. Against the Sharks he was hooked with 15 to go likely due to his defense.

ah, just feels like Dylan walker at 6 is an experiment that failed for Manly, he has been excellent as a lock.
