Lowdesert Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 This should be interesting if the result goes the wrong way for CB. https://www.zerotackle.com/i-will-run-around-the-twin-waters-golf-club-naked-bellamys-unusual-bet-with-stuart-nrl-updated-57052/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manfred Mann Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The thought of a 61 year old man running around naked in public is truly frightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a plus 61 year old man the thought of running is frightening! Raiders seem to have hit a wall, whether thats down to injuries I don't know but meeting the Storm just now doesn't bode well, far better for the club's who will meet them a few weeks down the line of their forced relocation.

JohnM Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Never ever ever criticise UK refs. They are miles ahead of the Australian officials. I'm interested in that drive, that rush to judgment, that is so prevalent in our society. We all know that pleasurable rush that comes from condemning, and in the short term it's quite a satisfying thing to do, isn't it? J. K.

BringbackGB Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 That video ref should never officiate at another game, shocking decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some soft rain earlier which has kept things damp. Looks like a lot of moisture in the air and on the ground, which is making the ball a bar of soap.

Curly perm Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Melbourne have been milking a lot of penalties recently from colliding with (deliberately running into?) defenders without the ball, then throwing themselves down to the ground like a Premier League footballer. Usually Finucane but this time Welch...not small blokes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnM Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Better (just) team won. If only...if only...Josh Hodgson bad injury, terrible sin binning decision...Whitehead knock on...etc...Storm charmed life....

Dunbar Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 A very poor game defined by the 23 errors and 14 penalties on show.

Storm certainly play over the edge of the rules much of the time, as you say for big guys they fall to the ground very easily when it suits them combine that with Smith's questioning of every decision and blatant time wasting, on top of their previous salary cap misdemeanours and it's very easy to dislike them intensely.

JM2010 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Bit of a scrappy game but they got stuck into each other. I thought Sutton was the best forward on the field, especially in defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is the game becoming about the Referees as much as the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manfred Mann Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Roosters vs Storm and Roosters vs Eels have been number 1 and 2 respectively best games of the year. Those three teams are really the only serious contenders for winning the silverware. I still think that the Roosters will win their third in a row. But that prediction is totally conditioned on no serious injuries to key players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Well , truly awful news about Hodgson . Absolutely and totally gutted for the lad , crucial to The Raiders obviously . Couple of disgraceful calls in that game ... the sin bin , I mean really ? How many times is the VR gonna look at something and still get it wrong . We get told it’s to get it right . Half the time it ain’t , get shot of it . I’ll take refs and touchies getting it right or wrong . That was a disgusting call . And the penalty in front for literally a bloke getting run into . I praised Atkins last week but he lost it a bit there . And Melbourne are without doubt the biggest cheats , rule manipulators and worker of officials in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
