PRE-GAME Round 22 - Dragons vs Broncos

[Super Freak]

Because Grade 1 charges only carry over for twelve months.

Reynolds last incident was the 2015 City vs Country clash.

It's 2 years.

He was still hit with loading, but the base penalty for a Grade One is 75 points and it wasn't enough to suspend him.

He'll have 84 points.

Unless he was charged for it again in the last 12 months which I don't think he was.

 

[abashii]

He got sick at the nines and then started behind guys, then smashed his jaw and came back today.

Having said that he doesn't have long now to win another contract given it is August.

Cheers for that, I didn't know he'd been sick at the nines. Hopefully he can impress Bennett, he looked pretty lively the few times I saw him play last year.

2016 Season Guide (p31)

6A PRIOR SIMILAR OFFENCES
If the player has been convicted of the same or similar offence in the two-year period immediately preceding the incident, the player is liable to an increase equivalent to 50 percent of the base penalty for each previous offence. For all Grade 1 charges, players will only carry the loading for a 12-month period.

 

[Kimlo]

Frizell and Thompson charged.

They will miss this game unless they can beat their charges.

Good, hopefully they both miss the game. We need everything to go our way to turn our form around. Maybe I'm dreaming, but I'm kinda hoping the Dragons play us back into form.

 

[talanoa]

You said it was great and defended it- not me.

I am happy with my stance.

show me where is said it was great?

of course you are happy, trolling..

p.s you have just confirmed an old saying "you dont need a long neck to be a goose"

 

[Big Pete]

A boring but comfortable victory over St George followed by a razzle dazzle win against the Eels would be just the tonic.

But they've got to turn up.

If they show up with the same attitude they've been showing up with since Round 12 then they could easily finish the season on a seven game losing streak.

As sad as it is to say, it isn't anything new for this club.

All these tries scored from repeats sets tonight has got me interested.

Shaun Johnson tonight forced 5 line dropouts.

As a team, the Broncos have forced 7 line dropouts from last NINE rounds.

We just don't have a clue how to build pressure

 

[Tera]

Hunt is trying so hard but his kicking game is absolutely appalling.

 

[Super Freak]

Hunt's kicking game is at it's best when the forwards are rolling forward and putting us on the front foot.

When we're getting quick play the balls and have all of the momentum.

Which is a shame because he has a good boot on him, but he just lacks consistency.

But it's something he has recognized and he is working on it.

 

[mrslong]

A lot of repeat sets come from the half kicking the ball, then the kick chasers trapping the opposition in goal......our kick chase is AWOL. Hodgo was the king of the kick chase trapping players in goal. We have arguably the fastest player in the Comp and I can't remember him being the first player down on a kick. ARGH! Yow yeh would have been the perfect player in the post-hodgo era, the little Hodgo hero worshipper.

 

[Cult]

How often does Cronk get repeat sets from inside his own half?

 

[Huge]

Well, I expect a huge bounce back next game and the joy of winning rediscovered

As do i.

Things can't get any worse can they ?

 

[lionred]

Sorry but Hunt had ample opportunity last Thursday kicking in good position and there were some shocking options he chose. He needs to learn to handle pressure. Cant just be good when everything is perfect around you.

Next week, I'd be going:

1. Boyd
2. Oates
3. Opacic
4. Roberts
5. Kahu
6. Milford
7. Hunt (Tell him to actually relax, I think he's trying too hard)
8. McGuire
9. Macca
10. Blair
11. Glenn
12. Gillett
13. Parker

14. Thaiday
15. TPJ
16. Ese'ese
17. Fai

Wallace has been serviceable and I'd probably have him in the team if he wasn't leaving but he is and I want to see what Fai offers, I think he might just be the tonic we need when it comes to a spark off the bench.

I like of this team a lot especially the bench; big and powerful.

So was there a rule passed that only the bloke with the number 7 on his back can attempt to force restarts? Why does Milf escape criticism for basically everything but in this case restarts? Or is Teflon Milford an actual thing now?
