Don’t forget QLD have Nate Myles in there coaching team, a specialist at leading with his head with no arms wrapping the body,
It doesn’t matter that it was Ponga’s head that hit Koula high.
No arms wrapping is the reason it got called a shoulder charge.
IMO right decision made.

I don't like seeing them being really happy in the locker room. They should be ropeable with that performance and I think QLD will win easily in game 2 if there aren't changes.

But for the 57th minute plot twist that would have been a blowout. No sneaky six-agains required, just straight to the showers and flipped the result.

Nah I grew up on the streets of Kenya playing Kudoda.

Rubbish they had momentum in that second half 🤣🤣🤣
QLD weren’t scoring points, but their defence had NSW camped in their own end for most of that first 15 minutes.
The momentum shifted with the send off. Blind Freddy could see that…in fact Freddy Fittler actually said as much.

Yep that tracks.
Gould is such an arrogant wanker...wouldnt comment on the send off with a smart arse smirk on his ugly mug
Its at the point now officials decide matches. Its every week and every match. The game is basically orchestrated.
The ref can not actually over rule the bunker but would be more interested in what was said to Klein from the bunkers end.
They are allowed to offer their input and challenge the bunker official but if the bunker official is staunch in their decision then it would stand.
A minute ago your saying the commentary had no game awareness..lol
No empathy from me either. Their border does also extend south to the mid north coast and north to PNG.

Was he in the commentary box?
Clearly we weren’t talking about him.

Strange was good. Cleary came good later in the game. The team looked better with Brailey and McLean.
Super arsey win, but we'll take it 🙂

The wanker said he couldn't comment as he might lose his job, yet as a commentator it is his job to comment. He has no issue commenting about apple pie and players he has never met
I keep saying Tim Donaghy because he literally match fixed the west finals away from the kings in 2003? I think game 7. Kept giving the lakers endless free throws and rorted the game.its now common knowledge that the nba circa 2000-2008 was match fixed and games were either outright fixed for personal gain (the refs) or results were manipulated so teams with larger supporter bases were showcasing in things like the nba finals.
the nrl reeks of this as well . Desperate to grow the game to the point they are manipulating the product and whether consciously , sub consciously or purely by accident . They are destroying the integrity of the game .
And Ashley Klein ? He’s up to his eye balls in this muck. Every game he’s involved has a LOL Klein moment. Completely egregious decisions.
I reckon you could promote 16 year olds , refereeing Gymea vs Yarrawarrah u12s and they would have a more consistent strike rate than him .

I wish PVL would give him the job so we don't have to look or listen to him so much.
Wish he played like that for us
