LIVE GAME Round 5 "high shot crackdown" discussion *spoilers*

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

Old man Klemmer gets folded and the Eels score.
Thank goodness that fossil's gone.

Pearler of a pass to JAC from Leongi

Klem - the feeling the wrath of the St George fans.

They hated taking Mbye from us. How long did they sign Klemmer for?

I am still finding it hard to believe the try to level the score that the Panthers bombed in the last 5 mins of their game. Was it the centre who dummied instead of simply passing to his winger to stroll over, and was tackled without passing. Butchered the game for them- absolutely appalling. Teammates must be furious.

Terrible decision that definitely cost them the game. Couldn't believe it.

Better to pass and the winger gets tackled than to get caught with the ball and look selfish af...

Gutho - owning Commbank in the wrong colours. Predicting lots of feigning in this half by the RedV

 

[TurnStyle]

This eels team is awful to watch

Probably attacked the dragons line for 10 mins straight and offered nothing

I’m guessing it was like watching us for the last 4 years as a neutral lol

Classic 😂

He only just woke up from his nap

At the end of the day, if you lay down you should have to go for a HIA.

Exactly this. ^

Whether or not it is open to exploitation is irrelevant imo (there's never going to be a perfect rule set), but you'll never see a team's most important player faking if he has to go off for 15 minutes....

There's still the bunker to review if a player tries to stay on after a high hit.

We chose to extend Tumeth and let Katouga go, he's raw but I know who I would have kept.

 

[Telltails]

Parra got a good one in Iongi

 

[old_man_tiger]

6 metres forward

 

[Telltails]

Why oh why are touch judges even there!!!!

 

[innsaneink]

Hawkins had heaps of time for a fg...goes for a bonb instead

 

[Telltails]

Cool as - Lomax. Good game of footy.
Poor Lachy Illias got to feel for him

Could end up costing me $400

Eh thought he went ok. Tried and his defence was solid. The game has gone past the run straight into the defence though. Footwork and ball skills are needed for all the forwards.

Katouga doesn't look impressive to me. Inconsistent in attack and poor in defense. True that he's better than tumeth, though.
