Round 24 Discussion

[I bleed Maroon]

Canberra beating Souffs and Tits giving Melbourne a solid run.

This finals series is gonna be out of topsy turvy land

 

[The True King]

The titans should worry less about the demands of their number 7 and more about keeping their number 1 happy and signed long term.

Brimson is a special player at fullback. Absolutely nuts if they move him back into the halves.

 

[Super Freak]

Titans losing Ryan James to HIA is a big blow for them.

 

[Super Freak]

Lol Titans.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

A lazy penalty at a crucial time is pretty much all J Wallace is good for

 

[Battler]

Listen to Hodges and Parker get on their knees for Smith and Slater in the comm box. That is why we've had so much trouble beating the storm recently, thank god the club is remedying it by signing NSWelshmen and Kiwis.

 

[Super Freak]

What was that Taylor?

 

[Super Freak]

Again Taylor comes up with a poor 5th tackle option.

 

[Super Freak]

Well that has to be a penalty.

 

[Super Freak]

You are kidding me.

Stimson comes in late and collects him high and it's a fucking changeover? What a fucking joke.

 

[Jedhead]

There are two rules that really need to be changed in the off-season.

1. The advantage rule. It's ridiculous that you can play on after picking up a knock on and will keep the ball even if you play on and lose it because they haven't gone 10 metres. They really need to change that. If you play on, that's your advantage played straight away.
2. If a player wants to make a voluntary tackle, the defending team should be allowed to pick them up and drag them over the sideline or the in-goal. Either that, or the player making the voluntary tackle is to be penalized.

I like your voluntary tackle idea as that shits me. If a player falls to the ground without being tackled you should be allowed one free kick to their head.

 

[Super Freak]

It should be going to golden point.

Instead Melbourne get away with the most blatant high shot.

you can already get penalised for a voluntary tackle ...

the problem is the defending team more often than not try to drag the ball carrier back in goal or in touch, the second the defender touches a player it is deemed to be legit tackle ... what the defending team should be doing is stand over the player and not lay a hand on him. then either the ball carrier is pinned for a voluntary tackle or they get up and give the defender a legit opportunity to push him back in goal/ in touch

Still think the kick option is more preferable.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

How many father/son combos are in the NRL now? Ivan and Nathan, Shane and Kyle, Wayne and Darius..

 

[Huge]

Hilarious and so original

 

[Alec]

Sharks will probably finish 4th now. Melbourne could be nervous.

 

[Battler]

Cronk just basically declared the fans’ opinions as “irrelevant”. Of course a fucking ex storm player would think that, they don’t have actual fans.
