Is anyone still watching this rubbish?

I’m flicking

Your nipples?

:eyes:

Oh wait, they're eyes

Still better than the alternatives (although I've been watching the F1 practice as well).

An observation - Newcastle are as reliant on Ponga as Manly are on Turbo.

Yeah my nipples

 

[rustycage]

A fitting way to win it.

I remember a few years ago there was a massive crackdown on the ruck. Refs were going ballistic. I and many others defended them, then we looked stupid a month later when the refs went back to normal. That's the problem with NRL "directives". Set the rules and leave them alone for at least a season and hopefully 50!

Kurt Mann…terrible player

 

[Geo]

Kurt Mann is immortal..

 

[voice_of_reason]

Not that simple to say they couldve been avoided.... We will.see more this week, next week,.the week after

If so they'll keep getting binned. The coaches won't wear it for long, they'll be telling the players it has to stop.

There'll always be accidental contact but swinging arms aren't accidental - they either keep them down or pay the penalty. It is that simple.

Having a rough trot

 

[the_third]

Im hardly watching, but the Knights are abysmal.

I don't struggle with the high tackle interpretation, I struggle watching how hard it is to get a momentum change. that's what makes it like touch football

Yeah, and they'll go low and get knocked out too. Not sure what Vlandis will do then.

 

[Yossarian]

That’s the kind of try I expect us to concede.

Not when a runner falls into it when the initial contact would've been chest high... What rubbish

 

[Yossarian]

Set restart tolerance seems particularly inconsistent tonight.

We'll have to agree to disagree - I thought the ones tonight were avoidable.

 

[JC99]

Man I love watching guys on debut score. Just good feels

 

[Geo]

Helium went pretty high then

 

[voice_of_reason]

Yeah, and they'll go low and get knocked out too. Not sure what Vlandis will do then.

I think that was disproven yesterday with HIA stats. IIRC, of HIAs for tacklers, 37% were tackling high and 20% were tackling low. Running players accounted for about 30%.

well i think i tipped knits
