Round 25 Discussion

The problem is, teams shouldn't be allowed to get away with the amount of niggle the Bulldogs engaged in. It was a blatant tactic tonight and it worked a treat, made the match a lot closer than what it should have been but really, the Dogs were lucky to keep 13 on the field for the entire duration.

They really need to make a stand now and send out the warning that they're aware that teams are going to try and push the boundaries in the ruck and they're not going to have any of it.

They shouldn't be allowed to, but I can't see it changing any time soon.

I think if the NRL want it out of the game, they need to give out harsh penalties for teams that do it. Ever since they brought in the automatic sin bin for punches, we very rarely see any thrown. Before then, there were punches thrown every week.

A ban on wrestling coaches could also work.

The refs are so weak. It's quite amazing tbh. It's like watching them not discipline a child.

"If you do that again there will be no dessert for you"

Kid does it

"Ok, you Can only have half your dessert"

Kid does it some more

"That's it you can have your dessert but no cream... Here have some cream"

This. As everyone heard in the commentary, the ref actually said "I know what he's doing and you're reacting exactly as he wants you too...." If you can see him doing it, talk to him ffs. They were very lucky to keep 13 on the field and yet, Des still says the reffing was terrible.

Who knew that I'd ever be nervous for a Knights v Eels game? Cmon Knights.

 

[Battler]

Nice start Newcastle you spastics. At least you can rely on Norman to shut down any attacking opportunity.

EDIT: Get fucked.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Just a terrible start from Newcastle.

 

[Battler]

You beauty!

 

[Big Pete]

Woot.

Good scrum play and my man Sione scores in the corner.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Come on Newcastle!

 

[GCBRONCO]

Argh looks like the Newcastle knights kicker has a case of Parkeritis

 

[GCBRONCO]

COME ON PLEASE!!!!

 

[Battler]

Norman playing a better game for the Broncos in eels colours than he ever did in ours.

EDIT: Fucking lol at the commentators comparing Sandow's 'defence' to Thurston. **** me the eels have some talked up players.

 

[GCBRONCO]

God damn Knights need a goalkicker lol.

 

[Big Pete]

They have one.

Wayne just never selects him to kick.

[Bucking Beads]

God damn Knights need a goalkicker lol.

The wind would make goal kicking tough today

 

[Big Pete]

FFS Kidley.

 

[GCBRONCO]

LOL one shoe on and still scores, dodgy pass though.
