NRL General Discussion Thread - 2016

[Super Freak]

They didn't enforce it in the trials. Hopefully, that changes this week. Broncos could benefit from this.

 

[Big Pete]

They enforced it in the Warriors/Panthers game much to the chagrin of Halligan. Voss didn't seem too pleased but was quick to point out the positives.

I just hope the public can see the bigger picture and not flip out after one bad referee performance. Unfortunately, the way I see it going, there will be one game like Newcastle vs Manly where a bunch of Newcastle players get binned for repeated infringements, the public will cry blue murder and they'll point to a bunch of circumstantial facts and we'll be back to Wrestlemania.

Kyle Stanley has done his ACL for the FIFTH time. Poor bastard. Only young but it'd be hard to come back from that.

 

[Unbreakable]

There's no way you can come back from that many ACL's, every single ligament and tendon in his legs must be elastic by now, I'd be retiring unfortunately.

I read fourth?

Holy shit balls

So, how about that match review committee?

Only round two and the controversy has started.

Finucane, Hawkins face one-week bans - NRL.com

How the **** does B Scott and or Houston not get time for the dangerous throw on Thurston?

Most commentators seem to be saying there was nothing wrong with the tackle even Ikin.

The defence is that Thurston still had one foot on the ground Huh??? WTF. I would have thought it had more to do with his head being driven into the ground but apparently it's not as dangerous when you're flexible.
Dumbasses are creating problems again with the disparity between suspension with the Parra player getting 9 weeks for something that wasn't, IMO, 9 weeks different.

Greenburg has also come out to defend the MRC and judiciary for taking no action against Scott for his clearly late hit that had only one purpose ... to take JT out of the game ...

The try to talk tough about player safety but don't have the balls to do anything about it.

[Unbreakable]

Blake Ferguson out for 4 months with ligament damage in his foot, big loss for the Chooks.

 

[Browny]

Karma

 

[Broncoman]

Poor bugger he was just starting to find his feet again.

 

[Ari Gold]

Poor bugger!?!?!?!?

The only thing he was finding before his feet was women to grope.

Suck shit to the ****.
