So are they an auto sin bin if a player stays down?

So are they an auto sin bin if a player stays down?

If they're leading to injuries they will.

It's hard with players lying down nowadays though.

Can absolutely see storm exploiting it by making it look like they've got a broken leg only to be up and about when they get their penalty and sin bin

 

[Super Freak]

They're really testing the Penrith defence, Mick?

Penrith are handling this with ease.

 

[BroncsFan]

It's all about the winger in penrith's defence... so often there looks to be space and overlaps outside the centre/half, but the winger comes up and just blocks the pass to the winger.

They don't really jam in on the player they just get up and get in the way whilst staying on the centre.

The winger is open a lot, but it's hard to get the ball there.

 

[BroncsFan]

Are they seriously getting a penalty for that? it was his chest.

How is that reportable

 

[BroncsFan]

Wasn't even going to be a 40/20

 

[Brocko]

Took no chances says Ennis. Mate it was already over the line and not a 40/20

 

[Super Freak]

One of my pet hates is the little second effort on the tackled player after a break that goes unpunished a lot today.

It's rubbish that the refs don't pull it up and it gives the defence just that extra second or two to get back for the next tackle.

Penrith just did that on Moses and he was denied a quick play the ball.

 

[BroncsFan]

Fullback didn't want anything to do with that grubber

 

[Brocko]

Kenny with the elite passing again. Great width

 

[ParraMania]

Just give the RIFF the title already - its over for 2026

Yep that tackle on Moses was 100% a six again, but Toddles didn't want to call it because it was last tackle.

It's infuriating when they'll call six agains on literal quick ptbs, but then ignore blatant ones, seemingly because of 'optics'

 

[Brocko]

How has he scored that untouched. Thats ridiculous

 

[Brocko]

The defender needed to fold IPap then. He held back

 

[Super Freak]

I thought you had to use two hands to bat the ball back now?

 

[BroncsFan]

Russell should've thrown absolutely everything into that shot on Ipap... had a freebie and let him catch it and pass.

Ipap should have near broken ribs after that trash hospital from Edwards

The pass theyve just been glazing because Russell didn't belt him lol

 

[BroncsFan]

Talagi is legitimately terrible... this panthers team already looks unbeatable, but imagine if they had anyone remotely decent in the 6 jersey
