NRL NRL 2024 - Round 24

[eddiesmith]

Solomona is the biggest grub in the league, he really should be banned for life.
Don't need dirty campaigners like that playing the game.

It’s funny he hit his own team mate even harder though

Did Munster go off for a HIA.

 

[Astro_]

Not much of a follower of NRL but how is that Storm player not off for concussion test?

Probably using the Carlton doctors

Yeah was off for about 15 min. Wishart came on and scored.

 

[moto748]

Cracking contest.

 

[phantom13]

Hell of a game. As much as I don’t like the panthers I hope Cleary is alright. Can’t see them genuinely challenging for the premiership without him

 

[eddiesmith]

Just saw the game deciding penalty, still not sure wtf it was for or how he got reported…

I reckon the judiciary often gets reports from s games and look at the footage and wonders wtf the report is for and throws it out in 5 seconds.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Slightly late on Hughes but leaving Kenny on after knocking out Anderson was a legit wtf.

 

[Jatz]

The top end talent in this years comp is as poor as I've seen in my time watching the game.

It's been awful this season.

Which one?

I thought the high shot called on munster in the tackle where the panthers lost the ball was wrong.

Thought the rest were there (noting agree with Paul Kersey about the Anderson high shot)

The one where the Panthers player tackles Hughes .00001 seconds after he passes the ball.

Reckon that last one looked wrong - certain the player had slipped. Didn't really rewatch it so who knows.

Don’t agree but to each their own.

 

[balmainforever]

That Pompey no try is a try if it was penriff

 

[eddiesmith]

Don’t agree but to each their own.

Well no surprise the report was laughed at by the judiciary, not sure what he was actually reported for? But can it be late enough to justify a penalty when the ball hasn’t even reached its target?

A Sharks player last week was reported for tackling his opponent too hard…Not late, not high, just too hard…No surprise that and most of the other Gee ups were also thrown out.

 

[balmainforever]

Love SJ.

 

[CURVE]

Roosters Radley put on a report for a hip drop but not given 10 minutes. Is that the norm?

 

[CURVE]

Game over. Parra down 12-0 and down to 12 men.

 

[CURVE]

Terrible first half from Parra, totally outplayed and trailing 24-4. Conceded two tries while Grieg was in the bin, but the metres the chooks were gaining up the middle was embarrassing.

Yeh look I’m not suggesting it was a reputable offence but modern league protects the play makers. I don’t have an issue with it so I think the penalty was fair and note, I’m not a storm supporter. If it was someone on Cleary or Luai I’d say the same thing.

I didn’t even see them show a replay of the tackle so I don’t imagine it could have been too bad. I hate playing ‘that’ card but I’m unashamed about saying it in this case: he gets scrutinised closer than just about any player in the comp.

As a roosters fan I’m shattered that Smith flopping around like an idiot got an Eels player binned BUT I will say this - Greig’s high shot was a dog act and was lucky to not result in the end of his evening and that’s from someone who hates the overreaction to high tackles. I thought it was really bad - he was the third man in, the ball runner was stationary at the time and defenceless, and he didn’t make any attempt to tackle him he just smashed him in the head with his shoulder

 

[PhatBoy]

I just watched footage of those sin bins again. Wow.
Smith literally just got tackled by Hands and was lying on top of him backwards and flopped around a bit and Hands got binned for it. As a roosters fan I’m pissed off and as a league fan even more pissed off. Disgraceful refereeing.

On the flip side the Greig one after watching it 3-4 times in slow mo - wow. How olam got sent off and he didn’t is like decoding quantum physics. He got Watson on the point of the temple with the point of his shoulder, lined up with no attempt to make a tackle properly.

 

[Aucklander]

The game is hard to watch and even harder to listen to.

Warriors have a try taken away from them when the defender was never going to even have an impact and then score off a forward pass.

I ended out watching the Bombers v Swans build up.

 

[balmainforever]

Sutton must be on the shire payroll.

 

[eddiesmith]

Sutton must be on the shire payroll.

Why? Because of the most obvious and blatant sin bin of the year?

 

[eddiesmith]

Great win for the good guys even with Sutton ignoring a blatant penalty at the end…
