Round 9 Discussion

[Kimlo]

That should be a bin surely. Shoulder charge to the head

 

[Midean]

Tedesco needs to stop falling into tackles.

Reminds me of when Inglis was diving headfirst into the ground every time someone tackled his legs.

 

[Foordy]

Bunker had to make that decision to allow Suaalii to debut... fucking rigged comp

 

[Fozz]

LOL, nothing for Brown!?!?! Not even on report.

Who's in the bunker? Oh, that's right. The same bunch of guys who are supposed to keep an eagle eye on potential head highs and yet somehow miss the elbow on Corey Oates.

 

[BroncsFan]

How can you call a penalty after the fact... if the ref was competent it doesnt get any further than the blatant knock on

What?

Eels should have two players on report. It was a no-brainer of a decision.

And the decapitation of Dearden.

 

[Midean]

Seriously, re-watch Tedesco's last 2 HIA's.

The bloke keeps falling hard into tackles, he is going to eat shoulders every time if he keeps doing that.
Wondering if its intentional.

 

[Galah]

So that 4 weeks for nikora right? Tedy really gotta stop falling into tackles though

The infringement was before the knock on

 

[Dexter]

Moses showing again he has little when he needs to step up.
He is a poor man's Mitchell Pearce.
Massive mistake if we end up with him.

No one is crazy enough to intentionally cop shoulders to the head.

Nikora saw him falling and still went straight for a shoulder to the head. I wouldn't be mad if that was a send off.

 

[BroncsFan]

jeez there's been so many poor decisions in this game

Standard NSWRL game isn't it

Agree, hope him and SJ were just part of the rumor-mill.
Reynolds or DCE, forget the rest.

I mean, Inglis was crazy enough to dive headfirst into the ground, risking a broken neck for a penalty till he got called out for it, then it magically disappeared from his game.
I would not put it past someone to fall into tackles knowing the outcome is a penalty and more than likely a binning with the state of the current rules.

edit: Nikora was going for a shoulder first tackle to Teddy's body, no way he can change his trajectory in half a second that Teddy decides to collapse under his own weight.

 

[BroncsFan]

The infringement was before the knock on

Watching on mute... was there a penalty other than Brown??

I only saw Morris knock it on then Hutchinson caught it and went for the try followed by Brown coming in late.

Never mind just saw the shot on Teddy

Niukore... you are outta here

 

[Big Pete]

It was for the Niukore shoulder charge on Tedesco before he passed the ball to Tupou.

Even so, I think they would have penalised Brown for the knees. Remembering that an act of foul play will supersede a knock on in that situation.

 

[Sproj]

I haven't been watching the game but I just saw the highlights, I am beginning to feel pretty confident that Qld will start Mahoney and have Grant come off the bench, that is one heck of a one-two hooker punch.
