Lodge’s dive during the Canberra game left me feeling well pissed off.

What is happening to our great game as this sort of shitfuckery is allowed to go on right before our very eyes?

The MRC should be suspending him for 2 games minimum for bringing the game into disrepute.

It’s a slippery slope if we don’t jump on it and get it out of our game. So glad we got shot of him.

He should hardly be singled out for it given it is rife across the league and NSWRL have failed to do anything about it... but of course a lower end team does the same thing higher up teams had already perfected (cough:: Penrith ::cough) and suddenly the media kick up a shit storm about it so Vlando and co will be reactive.

The exact same thing happened when Titans gave away a professional foul to challenge an incorrect call... even though Munster and the storm had literally been doing it for years

Staggs did it too. I hate that this rubbish has come into the game.

Staggs had a genuine case to argue for a crusher though and he was not knowingly milking a penalty to even the score up to take it into golden point.

I hope every player abuses the heck out of it. I enjoy players making a mockery of the rules. Hopefully it costs Melbourne or Penrith a game too.

I reckon 95% of these crusher tackles are players milking it. If you get hit with a real crusher, i doubt you are getting up and playing on the way the majority do.

How good are the storm this year, they are playing an awesome style of Football...

Panthers are an amazing team, but they're not even close to the storm in terms of how enjoyable they are to watch.

I hate the storm but credit where credit is due

It's really not new- Wally was great at it and Elias even better. Struddy before that too.

No theatre in it anymore, Wally getting hit 'late' and going down- Brian Canavan running on, Wally shrugging him away to take the tap or kick for touch 40m downfield while the crowd was going nuts was great.

Players need to learn to have some panache in their performance- that's the problem.

No!!!

Not the King.

The opposition should have been pemalised for even deeming to consider themselves fit to be even thinking of tackling the great Gator.

I remember Elias was the best. Got pushed back on his arse and earned a penalty, replays showed he wasn't even touched, best acting of all time.

There's one game there where Elias bit himself then complained to the ref that Mario bit him and Mario got sent.

He was the original Cam Smith when it comes to manipulating refs.

**** sake, nearly the whole NSW team.

Hey we get Tino, Grant and Munster in there.

 

[holdzy]

Cook should be dropped for Grant.

 

[Sproj]

Cook should be dropped for Grant.

Tedesco should also be dropped for Tturbo but I just don't see either of those things happening really.

 

[holdzy]

Still plenty of time to go before internationals I suppose.
