CROSS FORUM NRL Round 12 Discussion

[Bucking Beads]

This is the problem with the nrl. The consistency of the officials is garbage

 

[Brocko]

Sullivan is the worst player in the comp

 

[NZWarriors.com]

Bit more polish from the Tigers and this could be a game

 

[Foordy]

I just dunno what they expect Val to do there other than not tackle him

that is the same for the majority of "hip drop" tackles

you can have a 120kg guy run at a 90kg half ... then when the half loses his feet and just holds on, he gets pinged for a hip drop.

the NRL has completely fucked this offence up. it should be similar to the cannon ball. i.e. when a player who is STANDING upright in a tackle (which is around the waist). then the tackler drops to the ground to pull the ball runner to the ground ... that is a hip drop

 

[BroncsFan]

Happens every single week. And they continue to allow it

Just ridiculous.. I hate it... players walk off the mark all the time and refs keep allowing it.

They half ass it with blowing time off and then commentators complain... there's literally no deterrent to doing it (penalty, rarely get hit for time off, etc.) and it's a massive factor, because it basically creates quick ptb's with markers all over the place

Hutchinson says hi

 

[Waynesaurus]

What is with the high praise of Staines, the commentators carry on like he is the greatest winger known to man.....................but he's done nothing.

Absolute handbrake, no idea how he was ever hyped up.

Its the same for the crusher also. They bring in the rule for a legitimate reason then they just continue to rule on things it was not bought in for in the first place.

Almost deliberately put his leg over the side line for no reason.

 

[Jedhead]

Does the cross forum show alerts for replies and reactions?

Good question.

 

[Brocko]

Hutchinson says hi

He is also putrid but Sullivan is still worse for mine

 

[NZWarriors.com]

Hilarious if cows lose after that start, Val sendoff was dubious though.

 

[NZWarriors.com]

The try was easy.

The way the Cowgirls marched up the field was easier.

This could be a bath.

I said the same thing about the Drags yesterday, long night ahead for the poor old dogs.

 

[JayPee]

Did he actually go out?

 

[Sproj]

Haha Drinkwater just doesn't even need to bother, has he ever made a tackle?

 

[Harry Sack]

Bongwater strikes again

 

[BroncsFan]

Defence is definitely optional for cows... are they trying to get Payten sacked at this point??

Playing Tigers in Townsville they should win this by 60
