NRL finals footy discussion 2026

I don't like it but definitely injuries will be looked at. First one I remember was Alex McKinnon when McLean got 10 weeks

Can I ask why you dont like it? I honestly cant get my head around anyone not agreeing and seeing the logic in it. For me, if someone performs an illegal act, either deliberate or accidental, and it results in serious injury then that should be accounted for. If I accidentally run a red light due to chaos going on in the back seat with kids and dogs carrying on, I get a fine and lose points. If the exact same thing happens and I kill someone, I go to jail. Both incidents pure accidents, no ill intention whatsoever. Just the circumstances in front of me contributed to a loss of mindset that could happen to a lot of people. I totally agree with the injury be counted. As for McLean, well that guy did his illegal act deliberately. He held the player, then reached down between his legs and lifted. He should have been banned for life. And no, im not saying he wanted to break the guys neck, im saying his lifting tackle was intentional, not intentially broke his neck, but intentionally lifted.

Ivan said in the presser that his bad foot before the game was the other one. So he has two broken feet. Will need surgery on both.

Apart from that he’s fine ! 🤣
Get well soon Jaw.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Any news yet on Phoenix Crosslands fate yet ??

No HT but can advise he won’t be playing this Sunday. Just ask API !

Can't he play the Lachie Neale card on appeal

 

[Telltails]

If Nathan needed a challenge he sure has got one now. This would test anyone's resolve.

 

[upthetigers]

Tigers beat both grand finalists this season. Therefore we are the real premiers.

We also lost to the wooden spooners twice

 

[Tiger Tarl]

Didn't Api get binned and 4 weeks suspension for a hip-drop that didn't even injure the player earlier this year?

Not for this one mate.

If you just read what the injury was without the context of how it happened, you would think he was in a car accident.

Again Noah Martin went off injured and was out for weeks ......

I mite be the only person who thinks Crossland didn’t land on Cleary , I stop framed on the tv and Iam not sure he did , also they never showed any other angle , or the head on , would love to see those angles , before Iam convinced

I'm sure Ivan is regretting his decision to allow Nathan to play considering he already had a broken foot and the score was drawn at 6 all.

The Knights were exceptional, and I can't wait for an upset this weekend.

Yeh and both have a history of them. I reckon Phoenix could be back during the rlwc

 

[Odessa]

Martin played on and I was thinking at the time he took a dive but found out he had to have surgery

 

[happy_tiger]

Yeah for about 3 minutes after HT ....

 

[Yossarian]

Yes one has won a Man of Steel , the other has won everything else

Man of Steel? Is that a Superman dress up competition?
