NRL Rd 2...*spoilers*

Can someone explain what the rule is around stopping the play for injured players off the ball? Lane goes down and they stop (ref tells Munster he has a duty of care), then NAS goes down and play continues. Same thing happened to us last week and resulted in a try (Simmonsson for them, Utoikamanu for us)

I could have it wrong, but my understanding is that the trainer has to call for the stoppage, and our trainer didn't do that..

If the trainer calls for play to be stopped the player must leave the field I think for hia or a set period of time

Okay, that makes sense. I may have to watch the replay but I don't think Shaun Lane left the field after catching that hip to his head last night, and the ref stopped the play.

Would Grant have proven the difference last night?

Would Grant have proven the difference last night?

yes, easily

B Smith is a fill in hooker at best

he said he's 10kg overweight because he provides cover for lock as well

Man I love Justin Olam , he’s a unit

He’s a weapon

There’s probably 100s of them running around png. Do we have the smarts to try and scout them ? ?

Don't forget we've got Gebbie waiting in the wings.

Hope he can stick it out and have a crack because I think he can be something special.

Yeah I really hope Gebbie can turn into something. I think he will leapfrog AF, as he hasn’t really shown much so far

Needs to be included into the first grade squad first

Is he train and trial or dev player?

I’m unfamiliar with how that stuff works so might sound like a dumb question

Yep . Anyone bagging brooks hasn’t watched the half play in this game . Both kicking games are atrocious .

Pearces long kicking has been awful his entire career. He's a pro at kicking straight at the opposition or out on the full. Both of warriors halves are big average too

 

[JC99]

Also who told me Bunty Afoa would be a bad signing when I recommended him! He's been excellent so far this year

Same goes for Isaiah Papali'i. I should be on recruitment for WT I tell ya, I would've had both of them here.

Yea , for me just watching games like these so far this year , shows me after we get through this gauntlet to start the season , we are definitely as good or better than 75% of the comp . There’s 2 comps really . The top 5 and everyone else . Even if we win on Sunday , it will be excuses about how many players the roosters are missing .

I know best just set up the match winner , but the kid definitely needs to work on helping his forwards out . I think I saw 1 run off his own line all game .

Good game of footy this . If warriors can keep up this sort of stuff and not have their annual implosion, they’ll battle for a top 8 spot

I had knights as flops this year but they’ve shown a bit of resilience so far, good signs for them if they keep it up

Every team is improving including. Let's hope we improve just as quickly as all the other teams around us.

Yes, I could easily see us at 0-4 after the first 4 rounds, gotta make a statement with one or two of these teams?

We’ve got a dogs breakfast of a draw compared to say Newcastle
I won’t be surprised if we’re 0/5 .
