Parramatta were right in that game for so long, but deserved to lose with discipline like that.

True but they should have been playing 12 men , that ‘ tackle ‘ by Olakau’atu was a disgrace and potential neck breaker . We talk about player welfare , I’ll be interested in the punishment there

Considering Milne (two match suspension if he accepts guilt) has escaped serious consequences for his dangerous tackle on Munster. Olakau’atu if treated similarly will get two matches. He should be punished more severely as likewise Milne should have been. Stupidity from yet another player… Sivo. Three try hero to grub in one mad and uncalled for moment. 

[Irish Saint]

If I remember correctly Cleary was sent off last season for a tackle that didn't look as severe as the one by Olakautau.

Saturday’s R8 Games

UK Kick Off Times

 

Aussie Kick Off Times:

Saturday, April 27
Tigers vs Broncos	Campbelltown Sports Stadium	Fox	5:30pm
Cowboys vs Panthers	Queensland Country Bank Stadium	Fox	7:35pm

[Farmduck]

The Broncos have received a welcome boost with the return of Adam Reynolds, Payne Haas, Brendan Piakura and Deine Mariner after they were all sidelined with injury.

However, it’s not all good news as Kevin Walters’ side will be without star five-eighth Ezra Mam and Selwyn Cobbo, forcing a slight reshuffle in the team to accommodate their absences.

After 2 minutes Tigers get a lucky break when Mariner drops the ball with the line open. That came from Bula dropping a high kick.

[Farmduck]

5min: This time Mariner scores. Put that one down to a moronic penalty by Bateman when Wests had Carrigan locked up but Bateman came in as third man and lifted Carrigan's leg - automatic penalty.

Reynolds missed the goal

Brisbane 4 - 0

[Farmduck]

Reynolds possible "wrist or groin injury" according to Ennis. Might be WGS - Wristal groinular syndrome.

[Farmduck]

16min: and the dumb continues. Samuela Fainu gets 10 in the bin. Oates caught the kick on the full in the in-goal and started running out to the 20m so Fainu tackled him. ?@?#?@?!?@?#

[Futtocks]

Brainfart from Fainu, there.

Brisbane score almost immediately.

[Farmduck]

17min: Jock McMadden try under the posts off a Reynolds kick

Reynolds kicks the goal

Broncos 10 - 0

[Farmduck]

25min: Koroisau try from dummy half. But bunker wants to review the grounding. NO TRY
