LIVE GAME Round 9 vs Panthers

[Tim Sheens]

I would like the NRL to explain why Naden is facing 3 weeks when replays show he DID NOT make contact with the head ? Braith and Corey on the fox footy panel said he didn't make contact with the head and don't understand the 3 weeks . Annessley will dribble on with nonsense to explain it no doubt

Yeah, but still a shoulder charge, so three weeks for stupidity sounds about right when the game has long removed that play. The impact of the high hit with a shoulder is often enough to bounce the brain, even without direct contact with the head.

Can anyone tell me how Twal made 160m? He runs so upright and stiff yet he drags players with him. He must have enormous strength.

No loss if he is out to be honest. He's a liability.

90 % completion in those conditions was amazing .You do that in pouring rain you are going to be very hard to beat . Rd 6 & 7 last year we had just over 90 % and beat parra and souths in consecutive weeks

Enjoyed that 14 runs, 126m, 6 tackle breaks is becoming the expected norm for Junior Tupou. Continues to improve each week. Great out of yardage again.

Didn’t play huge minutes but thought Stefano was just excellent tonight. Looked like the free running kid from 2021 before the ankle injury.

I get what you mean.
However, if they routinely suspend players for intention without actual contact there would be no one left available to play.

Do you reckon Naden misses a couple of weeks for that stupid effort of a tackle ?
And he had to many mistakes

3 weeks

watch again 4 on 4

Hi Clokan

I did watch the game again and will stand by my comment.
Sorry for quality but cant screenshot kayo. More like a 5 on 3 then 4 on 2.

Edwards is 1 defender, brooks has to go to him which drags the inside men in, then you are left with 4 oe 2, or assume Joe doesnt do anything a 3 on 2.

This isnt a beat on brooks as he had a good game but a weakness in his game of going to the line.

Shouldn't be at all surprised at anything the Telegraph says (or in this case doesn't say) about anything but today's Sunday Telegraph sports supplement takes some beating. On the front page (Page 37) they have a nice pic of our blokes celebrating their win alongside a headline "Wet, Wet Wests..." with a reference to "Page 40" presumably the associated story. No reference at all to the game on Page 40 or anywhere else. No big deal but it does appear these idiots have found a new way to insult us.

Naden to miss 3-4 weeks on channel 9

 

[innsaneink]

Watching the replays ay on Kayo 💪

 

[mikey]

I could watch it all day on loop.
We may need to do a forum poll on whether or not you are allowed to watch any more games live. 🤣
Enjoy the replay ❤️

I have wondered if I am the albatross that has cursed us but let's see how I go vs the Stains 🙂

Hope we dont go with Talau. Blood some new talent

 

[Merlot]

the game is getting stupid,our 1st ref challenge.to legally tackle the kicker,we were penalized because kicker landed in a vunerable position,takes the piss,play was 20 meters up field,from said kick,,he was floundering in back play,no one there to stomp him.

 

[die hard]

Forget resurrecting 2005. Keep Playing middle third of the field and work on 5th and 6th tackle options and we win a good share of remaining games.

 

[aturkey]

Wow....

Outstanding.

As good as it gets tbh. The real test is this sunday though.

 

[aturkey]

Ivannnnnnnnn

 

[Stevec]

One more test to pass guys I want to see us win on a dry track with expansive football

 

[TigerLove]

Gee's... I just watched the replay and I was still nervous that we were going to blow the lead!
I had to keep repeating "we won" in my head to calm myself down.

Agree, put Toa and Kepoa in the centres over him.
