Finals series 2017 *Spoilers

[voice_of_reason]

Tough call but that's one of the worst collisions I've seen - correct decision to pull it up.

 

[WswWt]

Don't understand why they had to… let the play go on and let Penrith put the ball on the goal line. 2 refs and an abundance of trainers on the field.. should be classed as just a normal knock on.

 

[sheer64]

Should have been a try.

 

[WT2K]

Broncos defence solid

 

[wonka]

Benji has been shady in the first half.

I agree it should be play on but wonder if it wasn't accidental offside which is why it was stopped. On a different matter geez I hope Marshall doesn't make first grade with us. If so we are in trouble. Kicks poor, passes poor. Hasn't improved since he left us.

I think when a player loses the ball due to concussion its time off and a scrum upon resumption.
Wasmt that the reason when Dwyer flattened JWH in that semi that it was a scrum and not a play the ball?
Bloody Heighno.

 

[stryker]

Harawira naiera has been astonishlingly poor tonight. Everytime an error is made he seems involved

 

[WT2K]

Would love a centre with Roberts pace at the tigers

 

[stryker]

Gillet having one of his great defensive games.

 

[Nelson]

Yeah he has been crap. Hasn't looked threatening at any point and has made errors galore.

Mhmm I remember Edwards being knocked out cold in a good tackle on our line and someone scoring off it early on in the year…

 

[WT2K]

Reagan Campbell-Gillard having a strong game.

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Reagan Campbell-Gillard having a strong game.

He was pretty much best on field, top player and getting better with each game.

On a side note, Newcastle have bought well snaring Moga and Ese'ese - very astute buys alongside Guerra and Ponga. They won't come last next season, that's for sure.

Should be in consideration for a nsw jumper next season. Warriors for the spoon next season.

If he keeps that form up, definitely! Nah Titans I reckon :wink:

Yeah. Something like that happened didn't it.
I just remember Sheens asking why it was a scrum ( that we lost somehow) and that was the reason given.
Good few years ago now so could be wrong.

When JWH lost the ball it hit Dwyer and back onto JWH so Double Knock on ..Scrum..

Edwards was definitely knocked out and play was allowed to continue Melbourne scoring but it was like 8m out from the line..

It's a tough one tonight…the Broncos didn't regather the ball nor did Penrith knock it on so you could say play on but player welfare should take priority...

Funny though the game was stopped twice after that for Arrow and Thaiday but only after several tackles later...

Are we are to access Telstra Live Pass here in SE Asia?

There is a rugby channel that is popular with ex-pats in Phil that many hotels beam in, this channel also shows NRL.

Yep, horrible decision, Penrith got dudded massively on that call it was a game-changer. The injured bloke was nowhere near where the ball was headed under the posts.
Broncs got looked after tonight, no surprises there.
Gonna be a titanic grub-off next week, no teams go the attacking cheap leg hit on a held attacker quite like Brisbane and Melbourne. Should be interesting, plenty of niggle and plenty of cowardly dog-shots.

The NRL need to protect the man carrying the footy- showing the real ticker, from weak blokes coming in long after they are held and wiping out their legs or slamming into their backs, there is nothing courageous about that. Seems to be the same players doing it week after week.
