NRL 2026 Round 7 Discussion

[Bucking Beads]

As soon as Warbrick got tackled he was trying to stay down. These purple pricks really are gross

 

[Super Freak]

So why is he not in the bin if Patty’s was a sin bin?

 

[BroncsFan]

When in doubt lower the head for a high shot penalty

**** off the captains challenge for this bullshit foul play ... fmd

 

[Foordy]

1) Melbourne shouldn't even have this challenge.

2) Teams should not be permitted to challenge looking for foul play

 

[Old Mate]

Hmm hit in the head.

 

[Fozz]

Wasnt even inconclusive

 

[Rally Towel]

Sanity prevails (this time).

 

[Bucking Beads]

So why is he not in the bin if Patty’s was a sin bin?

Because we were stitched up last week

 

[BroncsFan]

This is where the bunker is ****ed... incidental high contact happens all the ****ing time and yet they still decide to class them as high and give the penalty

 

[Brocko]

Big IQ play stripping that then

 

[Mightybroncs2k17]

I agree with the bunkers decision.

But to the letter of the law, there absolutely was high contact. Ive seen that called a penalty

 

[Super Freak]

2003 since storm lost 5 in a row...

They lost 5 in a row in 2012 as well.

 

[Big Pete]

'Incidental contact'

Good on em, but it's never been ruled that way.

 

[Foordy]

suck shit Melbourne

 

[_wwong]

Are the storm in a crisis yet?

 

[Elbows]

It’s all Joe Chans fault

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

I 1000000% agree that it shouldn't have been a penalty, that milking bs needs to be stamped out, but that WILL be a penalty next weekend guaranteed.

That is what im sick of.

But, again, in saying that, it definetly shouldn't be and IF the nrl suddenly start calling out this bs that Melbourne do with milking and falling into head highs than thats great. But we all know that it wont be.

 

[Rally Towel]

'Incidental contact'

Good on em, but it's never been ruled that way.

"Annesley said there would be no radical change in interpretations but wanted his referees to develop a feel for the game and penalise — or put the whistle in their back pocket — accordingly."
