LIVE GAME Rd 11 Magic Round discussion *spoilers*

[Flippedy]

Brisbane plenty of injuries lost three in a row hammered by referees and losing by a similar scoreline -

Plenty of injuries? In previous games yes, but only Haas and Staggs out today I believe, unless I missed someone.

Wahs had a handy next man up for Boyd today in TMM

Sure did, he didn’t miss a beat! Same as Clifford for Dearden last night. If only we had that luxury.

Jock did get us 3 wins with our troops intact, including Wahs away.

No penalty for the tackle across the face? Lol

 

[innsaneink]

Jenko makes it look so easy

Mariner, Piakaura, Jensen, Walters

When your not emotionally attached to a club you can see why Brisbane lost that game and be philosophical.
When your own team loses the reaction is one of scapegoating finger pointing and demanding heads to roll.

You can apply both…

 

[Telltails]

You can apply both…

True but it's the latter that seems to be the more common reaction.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Why? That simply means that those who prepare better and are able to cover injuries will be successful.
Everyone talks about “next man up” but honestly this year only Penrith apply it.

Let's see how they go with 5 or 6 out for weeks like other teams have copped before any judgement is made.

 

[Speed2burn]

Only a sin bin if api does it

 

[wstigers11]

Keep kicking to Jenkins jfc

 

[EllisFan]

Only a sin bin if api does it

Plus a month rest

 

[Flippedy]

Penrith are very flat

 

[Betterdays22]

All but one winning margin above 20 points so far this weekend. Not the best look for one of the big weekends for the game. Not sure how they find the depth for 2 more NRL teams

Close games are more entertaining than large score lines.

Something for the rules committees to ponder.

Yes but you can only apply it if you have the troops. We have a first 17 of top of the table quality, the available replacements are also quality but only ressies quality. One or two 'next men up' might be sustainable but six in critical spots? Nup. So 'preparing better' for WT, is having better next men up available. We are not that prepared.

 

[innsaneink]

Yep
Penalty Panthers
what BS

Grant Atkins VR....no idea
