Futtocks Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Even against a depleted Panthers side, that wasn't an easy win. Well done to the Tigers.

DavidM Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) My watch NRL contract ends in a few weeks and I cancelled it yesterday , and more than a few things in this game emphasised why . The extreme to downright ridiculous oversanitising of the game on one side - with minimal high contact and hands across the face penalised , along with complete accidents with carriers falling to near the ground . And on the other other side as a direct correlation to that the complete working of the directives and just down right overt cheating which used to be an an anathema in this sport. Staying down , collapsing to the floor , squealing at the ref as your being tackled . I just find the direction the games gone frustrating , laughable and downright sad . Dane Laurie ? What’s he about , he should be in the premier league . They need to be very careful what they’re unleashing here , even with worthy principles , because this spectacle isn’t the game im wanting to watch. That’s just my opinion but I just find the game lesser than it was as a viewer Edited June 4, 2021 by DavidM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 The new interpretations will settle down and find their level, as will the commentators'/pundits' reaction/over-reaction to it. Yes, there are soft non-penalties, but also much hot air wasted being "furious" about genuine fouls that deserved a stoppage. Playing the ref has been around longer than the current crackdown, and as soon as there's a directive that severely punishes simulation, the better. I recall Jarome Luai conning the referee last season with a dive, when Benji Marshall's fingertips had just brushed his cheek. As soon as Penrith got the penalty, he got to his feet with a big smirk. The biggest mistake was not introducing the new regime during the off-season, so players, coaches and (especially) officials could prepare for it.

Irish Saint Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Had the game on this morning but due to work couldn't give it 100% concentration. However, did hear Roach mention on commentary get on your feet Laurie this isnt soccer. I am agreement with head shots when they are head high. However, when the the head is knee high how is one supposed to tackle. It is interesting the sanctimonious attitude the " experts" on Fox are taking on this compared to their attitude on the mental health of George Williams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RED ROOSTER Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Melbourne Storma and Sydney Roosters are both in the top 5 with big injury lists all season. the Penny Panthers and South Sydney Wabbits only have to have a few absentees and they get a spanking #JustSaying 26 minutes ago, Irish Saint said: It is interesting the sanctimonious attitude the " experts" on Fox are taking on this compared to their attitude on the mental health of George Williams. Hooper is again gunning for George Williams on Fox Quote HOMESICK? WILLIAMS HEADS TO THE GOLD COAST The George Williams situation might have gone quiet for the time being in the national capital but there is still plenty going on behind the scenes. Williams is currently holidaying on the Gold Coast - so much for being homesick - while the England halfback tries to resolve his contract termination with the Canberra Raiders. Predictably, another NRL club has already fielded a call to gauge interest in adding Williams to its roster for next year. Surprise, surprise, it’s a beachside club. Where it could get slightly complicated will be the detail of Williams’ exit from Canberra. Because the Green Machine has agreed to release him early there is expected to be a clause stipulating he can only be let go to join a Super League club overseas. https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/jimmy-brings/so-much-for-being-homesick-george-williams-heads-to-the-gold-coast-jimmy-brings/news-story/903d3797cf7a77c03577db8243c07a32 Quote When the pinch comes the common people will turn out to be more intelligent than the clever ones.
