Round 19 Discussion

[broncoboy]

wow Korbin Sims just pulled of one of the hits of the season on Matt White

 

[Cult]

Can the crowd hear the bunker over a loud speaker or something?

 

[Browny]

Storm playing crap and still leading

 

[Super Freak]

It's pretty embarrassing that Knights can still be in the contest at half time and we couldn't...

 

[Big Pete]

I'm not watching the game, but the Knights tend to trouble the Storm.

I'd be interested to see how Mullen is playing. Last time both sides met, his defence on Cooper Cronk and Kevin Proctor was phenomenal. It rattled the Storm and it was only on the back of a few penalties that Melbourne were able to get home.

 

[Kimlo]

The Knights are playing very well.

 

[Browny]

This game sums up why I hate the storm, playing like crap but take every opportunity to score

 

[Kimlo]

Mamo with an awesome try to give the Knights a slim chance of stealing a win.

 

[Kimlo]

Melbourne have got the rub of the green from the refs today for sure.

 

[broncoboy]

looks like Eels have a point to prove

 

[Bucking Beads]

Was Sione Matuatia playing in the backrow for Newcastle?

 

[Browny]

One of them was

 

[Super Freak]

There goes the Eels finals chances.

 

[Broncoman]

Was Sione Matuatia playing in the backrow for Newcastle?

I heard they are trying to convert him into a back rower. Didn't watch any games today but if he was that's why.

"There has been tries this year where if you catch the ball on the inside of your lead runner, it's not a try. Sure the lead runner didn't run an in-to-out line, he just went out, but at the same time Mamo still caught the ball inside him," Bellamy said.

"I'm not sure if Kevin Proctor's tackle had any influence on the way Hodkinson handled the ball. But if that ball's a clean pass then I can't see how they could award that try after what's happened earlier this season."

I didn't see any issue with that try.

He received the ball on the inside shoulder but did not run behind the decoy runner. Cronk made a defensive decision on the decoy runner and the decoy runner was drifting out. The defence was not disadvantaged.

Try.

There is no rule to say you can't receive the ball on the inside shoulder. You just can't receive the ball on the inside shoulder and run behind the decoy runner.

Cronk made a bad read and Smith's comments regarding the try are just nonsense.. Cronk couldn't see Mamo, what a load of shit.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

The Roosters left side defence - just terrible.

The Roosters left side defence - just terrible.

Roberts needs to take note.

So does Hunt.

Give Roberts early ball and let his speed and agility do the rest.
