LIVE GAME Round 19 vs. Sharks

[Oldman]

Essentially, the opinion of the ref would have been that Talaki gave away the penalty because he was to stupid to know that the tackle was complete, not that he was cunningly trying to stop the run of play. The penalty not being deliberate by Talaki thus means it is not a 'professional foul' and not a sinbin.

Of cause what was I thinking I forgot about the rule of a stupid player can’t be sin binned because he doesn’t know any better.🤣🤣

 

[Tim Sheens]

There is bias but it is not unconscious bias, it is blatant.

I feel like knocking some of the officials unconscious at times, but there has to be a large amount of subconscious bias in making many of their decisions.

The alternative is that they are just [This word has been automatically removed]ing stupid, or even worse, cheating.

Damn I didn't even know we were playing today, clocked off a month ago

Meh you didn’t miss much.

If you did know the rules the sin bin can only be used in the event of misconduct. The rule book outlines what is considered misconduct. Committing an action that results in a penalty is not considered misconduct unless it is deemed deliberate (or repeated or dangerous). If the strip was not considered deliberate, ie Talaki was attempting to strip the ball legally but failed to do so before the tackle was complete, then there is no misconduct.
Feel free to get a rule book and look up "power to dismiss". Otherwise continue to laugh and show your ignorance.

Sharks are the best attacking team in the comp (averaging 38 PPG) so thought it was a very spirited effort from the team, especially given how young some of our boys are.

Great post Lauren. The addition of Da Silva and James added quite a bit of interest to the team. Bula, Pole, Tupou, James and Da Silva are pretty handy players to come through our lower grades. We have the quality and systems to nurture them, we need a few more and to sign them long term.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

I thought two of their tries were questionable - the double movement and also the last try where Bula appears to hit the ball from the wingers grasp. Gallen laughed when it wasn't reviewed.

Last try Bula clearly punched it out.... Would the bunker be this sloppy in a semi final locked at 18-18?
Pathetic

Or another side in general. That wouldn't have happened to Penrith,Broncos or Storm

You should probably look up the double movement rule before accusing others of ignorance

Effort was there last night but the issue is attack. Because we can’t score points, teams get their noses in front and accelerate by upping risk and playing soem footy. They know that a dropped ball or missed tackle will have little impact. If you cannot apply scoreboard pressure, then you’re at the mercy of good teams.

The halves last night offered nothing. They didn’t engage the line or put the defensive line in two minds of what they were going to do. In their red zone, it was a simple catch and pass meaning the Sharks sweated on the runners and clearly won the ruck so our attack slowed down.

I haven’t seen the stats but our halves would have run for total of 5 metres between them. I don’t believe Wakeham had any runs at all.

I’m fine with the double movement one but the last try was definitely questionable

 

[NT_Tiger]

Will they be in our jersey though 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sheens must have been in maximum spin mode about the bright Tigers future to suck players like Klemmer into coming here. The youngsters in the squad would also have bought Sheens 'attacking juggernaut' spin. But when the smoke clears......

 

[Speed2burn]

When we’re not getting smashed we’re getting rorted by the bunker 😂

 

[Todd Packer]

We have no halves and no hooker. We won't be winning until that changes.
(I have faith in TDS but he's a while away from being ready)

Lot more rocks than diamonds in attack last night but that would be no surprise to anyone. I hope we keep the young guys coming through and can put some experience around them.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

I've come home to visit family and friends. But insisted on going to the game instead of going to a pub in Balmain.

I hate what this team does to me, what they put me through. But at the end of the day I still love em.

Calmly watched replay this morning and a few things stood out
Our wingers not even close . Kepoa can't catch ,and won't tackle ,don't think he wants to get hurt , when he gets involved in a tackle its as 2nd or 3rd one in . Tupou who was showing promise has become very error prone . The amount of times Bula was left to make a one man tackle on his own is a disgrace .
Bula is class pure and simple . Pity he's behind this backline in a top side he'd be a star .
You can't win a game with these halves who basically create nothing . Wakeham has a kicking game but that's all and Smith just nothing but 6 missed tackles
Our attack in general in 2nd half is slow flat and dreadful .Makes me wonder what our great attacking coaches teach them ?
Small bright spot .Blore and Seyfarth had reasonable games
Summary we need wingers ,half's and our hooker back on the field
Without this its impossible

Our defence in the centres was also pathetic.
We need two new ones.
