NRL RD 1 2021..*Spoilers..

[gallagher]

The era of 'penalty Broncos' is dead. Welcome to the under dog world.

Broncos looked visibly gassed at the end there probably due to the injuries. Without them game could've gone the other way

Isaiah Papali'i was enormous tonight. Would've loved to sign him

He’s got a good motor

2 things:
- how did Mahoney ground that? always a leg under the ball
- Mead didn't play at the ball, clearly got his hand.. rubbish call

Good on Mitch for actually closing a game out. He's worked hard on his kick and chase game. Seems to have bulked up over the pre-season too. Hate it when he performs even slightly well.

Hapster tipped the toads 2/3

Man where did he come from. 70th minute double hit ups plus a offload. Still, he’s parra now. Scum.

Why do Parra carry on like tosspots every time they score.
Every team celebrates but they're just way over the top.

Warriors for some reason let him go, I really wanted him here as he can cover the back row and front row.

Broncos being robbed

Not possible bruh

 

[tigerbalm]

Kev handled his first pressa well.

Brad Arthur “ brisbane thought they still had a chance in the last 20, that’s what we want”

Your scumbag team scraped a win against last years SPOONER’s . Start looking in SEEK.

Man of the match by a mile imo - Jake Turpin.

Had an absolute massive game.

Unfortunately the slime got there and the "Tanker"
and "Doesn't matter" can celebrate, hopefully not
too many times in 2021. Scumbags!

I was gonna correct your spelling and say 'scumbags' but then I realised you have it right.

As many have noted here there is a question mark over the quality of the Souths forward pack. They were dominated in the first 20 and it was too far back from there. Now Burgess out for a period.

It's a good pack, they just weren't in it to start. Once they woke up they held their own against Melbourne. They were shell shocked by the pace of storm out of the gates I reckon

Will be interesting to see, I thought Storm's errors let them back in.

Souths made a heap of errors too. Was a fun game though overall enjoyed watching it

I thought the ref ruined the game when he awarded a penalty to Melbourne for Gagai's tackle on Hughs
He was committed and it was harmless and absolutely no malice in it
It's not like he came in 2 seconds later
If Gagai didn't tackle him he could have run through
What was he ment to do stand back and watch it
It gave Melbourne an 8 point lead and not enough time left for Souths
With a 6 point lead the game was still interesting
I thought that penalty was SOFT
It took the wind out of souths sails


The kicker was in the air and Gagai made contact and wrapped his arms around his legs. No malice by Gagai and first contact was above the waist but he does grab the legs and tuck his arms around them.

Pretty straight forward penalty.

Going to be a very long season for people if this the kind of refs call they blow up about. There will be actual stuff ups, wait for them to blow up. Save your energy.

Yes Hughs was in the air
Gagais timing was out by a split second
His arms Brushed Hughs
**There was no actual grab of the legs unless I missed something**
If Gagai pulls his arms away then all of a sudden its a shoulder charge and he gets a few weeks
You damned if you do and your damned if you don't in that situation
Just my opinion

Find a replay, both his hands/arms wrap or tuck around the legs. Just one of those unfortunate ones theyll pull up 9 out of 10 times.

that was the exact comment the ref made to souths when they questioned it

Here is a photo from the tackle
Notice how close the players are and at full speed
Hughes still has his foot planted on the ground and Gagai is so close to tackling him
Does the ref expect Gagai to stop
Are they telling the players to let the kicker get his kick away without and pressure
2 tenths of a second at full pace and he is on him
In the end there was absolutely no harm done and play should have went on in my opinion

Show he part they penalised mate. Where they claim he wrapped his arms around the legs at the end of the tackle. The penalty has zero to do with that screen grab and Im not debating anything you say there. The photo is irrelevant to the penalty

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you leave the ground you shouldn't be touched no? This grey area should be the next ruling to be cleared up. I don't get why defensive players are allowed to essentially block an attacker - in a dangerous fashion or not. For me doing so is a penalty every time.
