LIVE GAME Round 8 v Sharks

[stephen]

Sione's runs at the end there were incredible. Him and May for co-MotM

Yeah. Didn't overdo the footwork. Just great leg drive and loads of desire!!

 

[jadtiger]

Yep - not high or forceful!

An artificial sin-bin from the bunker 4 minutes after it even occurred!

Who is tipping the bunker to do these post-play reviews???

It would be Anusley

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Two points to observe.
1) it’s a miracle we won and our previous poor ref decisions were all but wiped out by a friendly performance today.and
2) I can’t work out what May did to get the flick from Easts,it will come out one day, because he is a gun.

It’s because he is an absolute westie .. real article 😜

Who, the red or May 🤣🤣🤣

Such an important win for us. Jagging wins like that can change a season for a mid comp team like us.

We are so different when Luai is on the field. When he went off for the HIA the entire energy dropped.

May is an incredible player. His offloads and dominance in the tackle are huge! He is one of those players that makes other players around him better. AND, he looks really happy!!

Bula needs to slow in cover about four or five steps earlier. He is scrambling but can’t handle the inside step. He does look more and more dangerous in attack.

Not sure about Sione into starting team comments. Just weird to me. Let him build confidence running against tired defence.

Is it just me or are our centres now a strength for us. It’s been a looong time since I’ve thought that.

The ref

 

[Halbrowne61]

Hey, with new teams from PNG and the Perth Bears set to join the comp there is a distinct possibility of a Top 9 Finals series. We would have to be a natural fit!

Mate if the league have their way it will be a Top 12 !!!! Played in Vegas !

 

[hodgo]

We should never get complacent of what may is doing. He is almost single handidly turned our forward pack into something. Everywhere he is our best player and daylight second imo

 

[GCfan]

I just saw a replay after thinking I missed whatever Pole did the first time. Nope, didn't miss anything, nothing happened. Kennedy must think he is Klown pulling that call out of his arse. Take the fine Benji, that crap needs to be called out.

Was it the ref or the bunker that called that though?

 

[Speed2burn]

Jesus we looked like we were on life support that final 20 mins

What a [This word has been automatically removed]ing win!

 

[JC99]

Respect to Galvin, played hard. He is no tanker like Moses

Video ref bro! How’s an on field ref folk going back a set of 6 . The video ref has some explaining to do .

Bunker man ! How’s a ref going back 5 plays in the intense environment of nrl . He’d be lucky to keep up with the play he’s on .

 

[LARDS]

What a pathetic decision by the bunker after a few tackles

Im no expert on the rules but I'm surprised they can go back a couple of tackles for a penalty.
I mean it's not nfl

 

[liltiger]

Totally forgot to ask was api injured or is he all good?

did you look at the replay were he was sent - or in real game time a few tackles b4

Yeah that stuff really ruins the game. And it’s not like it’s for something significant which makes the decision to call it even worse

Centres both experienced and playing injury free for the first time in quite a while.
I’d say they’re solid, with Star having more pace than Doueihi. I will say that ADs defence has improved a lot, obviously been putting in some work.

 

[JC99]

Thought both edges defended awesome. Constantly slid across hard and didn't fly in and miss. Defended a lot of good footy there

I’m sure they use “duty of care” as the reasoning , but it just reeks of corruption and incompetence.
And here’s the thing . Last week off the kickoff may gets whacked in the head with real force , doesn’t get anything but an on report 10 minutes later, yet this week pole barely touches him and he gets sent for 10 . Absolutely disgraceful .
