LIVE GAME Round 21 versus Panthers

[Mighty Mouse]

The tigers need improvement.. we can all agree on that..

But there is a fundamental issue with the NRL when it comes to implementing the rules of Rugby League..

Instead of implementing the rules of the game, they have taken another path and utilise "interpretation"....

Interpretation basically gives them a get out of jail free for whatever they do..

I'm probably pushing sh1t up a hill discussing this with you, but I am sure there are others that comprehend the core problem.

In this game, Penrith were handed their first try on the back of set restarts and an "interpretation" of Izaac not playing the ball with his foot....

Penrith then scored their second try on the back of 6+ play the balls in which the Panthers players did not use their foot on the ball.. where's the handover to the tigers?

12 points handed to them, no fault of the tigers.. just penalties/set restarts applied willy nilly late in the tackle counts, which leads to them Penrith having DOUBLE the amount of field position the tigers have had in the opposition half.

Games blow out on the back of this - does that really suprise you?

The NRL has designed the game so they can determine outcomes...

The NRL don't enforce rules, they "interpret" them...

No, they are better than us in every facet so generate more penalties because we have to take shortcuts to compete. Also, we need everything to go our way to compete so we’re much more aware of even the tiniest of rub of the green scenarios…there is no conspiracy here

To’a out, Makasini in.

And a new forward pack.

Leave Makasini to develop for another 8 months with a pre-season. He is a kid and this side is going nowhere anyway.

If I had a dollar for every time Starford To’a sprints off his line and barbecues his inner or outer man, I’d shout everybody in the Latchem stand a beer.

I’d still have to use around $3000 of my own money alongside the $64 dollars I’d collect from Starford but I’d just be happy to be getting paid for his ineptitude.

 

[hugh1954]

Taylan to score

 

[Yossarian]

44% possession in a game with 3 penalties for the whole game while they play tunnel ball. They're much better than us, they don't need the hand up.

 

[loklok]

It's time for nenji to step down and morris and hodgson can go aswell .plus toa bird twal seyfarth

 

[Tim Sheens]

Why take Latu off.

 

[Siberian Kitten]

A lower team should never kick a penalty goal early when they have momentum. It almost never works out well.

 

[Winston Churchill]

At this stage May is fantasising just how bad/good 3 years in Long Bay would be over a 3 year Tigers contract.

 

[Tcat]

Thank god. Another game done. Well done shitheads.

 

[Spacecub]

We need to punt Marshall, the experiment has failed, brin in des hasler,he'll either improve the joint or totally [This word has been automatically removed] it, at the end of the day I don't care anymore

 

[hugh1954]

Thank God that was depressing

 

[Aceshigh]

Haha Doueihi. Great work mate. Anyone thinking this bloke is a saviour for the odd good thing he does should piss off like him. What a shit defender he is. Always takes the easy option.

In saying that he was still better than half of the piss ants we had on the field

 

[Twal & Seyfarth]

A lower team should never kick a penalty goal early when they have momentum. It almost never works out well.

Don't know if that'll help if we can't get a try all game.

 

[Tucker]

Penrith were good, not great.
6 tries to zero is an embarrassment.
I don’t know what goes on at training, but it’s not working and it’s time to cut the chord.
Benji and his offsiders have to go at seasons end.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Why take Latu off.

Coz we’ve got Madden coming ! And we wonder why Galvin left !

 

[hsvjones]

Wooden Spoon - WE ARE RIGHT IN THIS NOW...

 

[rah53]

Terrible effort tonight. No go forward, trying to go sideline to sideline, piss poor defence, horrendous kicking game. I could not find a positive

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Panthers are a well coached side with excellent players. I think they may win the comp again
Luai is a class act but the gap in ability is obvious at WTs.
Our best player is Bula.
Our team has competed for most of the year but the gap in class was too great.
Turuva great game.

To'a is an abomination.
