POST GAME POST GAME [Round 2, 2023] Broncos vs Cowboys

[Broncos Maestro]

Not fully relevant but I posted over at Cowboys Stampede dissing Drinkwater and calling him lucky to only get 3 weeks. Basically implying that his hit was anything but accidental; hoping to rile up the Cows skirts!

good place to go for a laugh right now.

one of them said that Kevvie and Reyno were being cockheads in the presser, when talking about the drinkwater incident.

Kevvie for saying it was a shoulder charge and Reyno for saying it should have been a send off .. lol

But he isn’t the sole reason for the break. Yes his tackle was high but Corey brings the force. 3-4 is an atrociously long time for a tackle with no force for someone with no record. I get that the fact that he broke his jaw might be to hard to not influence the MRC’s decision but it’s not a suspension worthy tackle it’s a suspension worthy outcome and when that happens we as a game find ourselves in a real pickle.

Someone with no record should not be getting a 3-4 week suspension for that, like come off it. Whilst obviously the high tackle caused it Corey brought all the force that caused the break of the jaw, not Scott. No victim card changes that and as such under no circumstances does a low force contact with the chin/jaw region warrant a 3/4 week suspension. It’s the simple reality that needs to be swallowed. 1 or 2 is the fairest amount and even than that is taking into account the injury into the punishment which I honestly don’t want to be the case in this game for accidental non malicious tackles that awkwardly go wrong.

Week after week, play after play you lot play victim to every motherfucking thing that happens that your biases don’t approve of. Just shut the **** up. You lot only a matter of a few months ago chose your hill to die on about Pat for weeks. You demanded that injury shouldn’t be taken into account and quite frankly that tackle was disgusting he deserved 5 weeks for that. So when another player injures ours we don’t get to take the moral high ground. Not to mention Taupau got out of a very dangerous tackle himself scot-free and you all laugh like it’s our god given right. The hide and hypocrisy you lot have to carry on like pork chops about that tackle is ridiculous especially the argument you lot are all using epitomises hypocrisy.

We want this to be the path the nrl take? Patty would still be sitting on the sideline and deservedly so his tackle was awful and he is only getting one more week than Drinkwater. I can’t fathom that at all. My take here isn’t to be popular but to wake your short minded biased asses up. Pat caused an injury that caused threat to a career and Drinkwater unluckily caused a broken jaw that has sidelined Corey for half the time and we are distinguishing them as a game on the sidelines difference. The outcome sucks but there isn’t 3-4 weeks, a likely hefty fine, a substantially poor outcome to his future judicial record and a 10 in the bin that inevitably made the game unwinnable for the cows. I’m not that biased to think that is justifiable and even some of you want it to be more. 1-2 is plenty for a non-malicious low force tackle with 0 history. And even then the entire driver of a suspension in general is the injury. It’s contact sport it’s time we suck it up and learn that SHIT FUCKEN HAPPENS. We are about as fickle as our side on here when it comes to shit not going our way and the way we carry ourselves afterwards.

Contact sport, contact outcomes.

Big fucken PLAY ON! In my books

Alright calm down there Samuel L Jackson.

When players retire and get dementia, it's not just a case of it being a contact sport, that's what the game is out to do. They want to minimise the people retiring and having brain issues down the road because if they can't do that, the future of the game may look bleak.

Please explain ?

He got smashed

Even on the first hitup of the game... Lolo ends up with ball up on his shoulder and loses it on the way to ground... that's a loose carry and is not a strip.

No way is Haas looking to strip the ball on the first tackle of the game either... that sort of play isn't even in his repertoire... he just looks to make his tackle and wrap up the ball. He doesn't think about tactical penalties or any of the other dark arts in football... he's basically a cleanskin when he's on the field... but nope can't have the cows dropping it on their very first tackle.

That one was 50/50. Hands on the ball and late in the tackle and spilling out forwards so far, I can understand why the ref called it.

Fitzy - any comment on the Hiku crusher? Looked pretty dangerous to me. If it had broken Oates' neck, is that a BIG FUCKIN' PLAY ON? Roles reversed for a Cowboys player?

Oates was caught prone by Hiku, so Oates clearly bought the force.

If that broke Oates neck it would have been because of the speed Oates was falling.

 

[Morkel]

And the height from which Oates fell, because he's quite tall. Hiku is the real victim here. He was just bracing for the building-sized human that was toppling on him. Has anyone checked on his welfare?

 

[Organix]

Is there a laugh-cry-rage emoji?

 

[BroncosFever]

Just fucken get on with it and play the fucken ball, it doesn't matter if your neck is shattered. You get the **** up and play the fucken ball. **** me.

 

[Sproj]

And if your neck is shattered, you can be completely sure you’ve done it to yourself because you had the unbelievable notion to run with the ball.

You laced up the boots when you were 6... you should be expecting a broken fucking neck!!

I have always been a massive fan of Selwyn and thought he would grow into our best player and make a really good fullback in a few years, if not the games' best. When Walsh came back to the club I was worried that we could lose Selwyn if we wouldn't give him the FB role like he clearly wants down the track. However, last night changed my mind. If Walsh can play like that or close to it consistently then Selwyn is going to have to stay on the wing or play a Manu type of role and be a roaming centre because that was as dangerous we have looking in attack in many years, they had no answers for him and although teams will try and put game plans in place to try to nullify Walsh, I think/hope his footwork and speed will make that hard to do.

The best part of it is that if Walsh goes out injured, Cobbo is there to step in. I think Cobbo is just looking for fb-money and would play anywhere well, but the whole prestige of FB is hard for young blokes to ignore. Cobbo was a bit quiet last game, I thought, but he still looked happy. I think if the club can handle contract negotiations well, Cobbo could easily be swayed to stay out wide like Hodgo.

Reminds me of the more recent Mortal Kombat games. Where there are mid-game animations of people getting their limbs and spines broken. And then they just get up and keep fighting because it only took half their health,
