New tactic to employ in the future

[Carlos Parra]

Well, I've seen it all tonight.

Penrith player carting the ball up face plants himself into the chest of a NQ defender. The defender never touched him with his arms or a shoulder and had absolutely no alternative but to cop the ball carrier's face into his chest.

The ref (Todd Smith of course) gives Penrith a penalty and they score soon after. Up until then, NQ were getting on top with the game at 18-18.

From hereon in, Easts should adopt this as a tactic whenever they're in trouble. Run the ball hard, lead with the head and plow into the soft belly of a large forward. A guaranteed penalty coming their way based on what I just witnessed.

And having realised his error, Smith ignores an obvious accidental offside from NQ where the resultant penalty goal would have won Penrith the match.

And now Todd Smith making major blunders during extra time. The bloke is hopeless.

The other tactic to employ is to remain in the ruck area on the 4th and 5th tackle to slow down the pass to the field goal kicker. Penrith did it twice in extra time - once Yeo and once Martin. Both times Cows had set up for a shot but due to slow ball, defenders got there in time.

whilst the storm remain kings of the dirty , underhanded tactics , penrith since 2020 have run a close second imo .

the roosters are not angels either , but a long way behind those 2, imo you need to push the boundaries to be successful, and employing some dark arts is just part of it .

Why do you do it to yourself?
What go's around comes around, all clubs get dud calls & all clubs get lucky calls
No refs, no game.

I don't (and can't) support mediocrity and criminality.

I pointed out the major blunders that any fool could see, except of course, the corrupt and hopeless ref named Todd Smith.

BTW, it's 'goes', not 'go's'.

I should have also pointed out that Payten had a lot to say about the refereeing as well. Perhaps not as pointed as me, but he did start to use the F bomb.

Geez that was cringeworthy listening to that sook. Robbo might have his Ted talks but he takes account.

Meanwhile Paytens team has 4 cracks at fg to win the game, fail and then he gets asked about the cows poor starts recently and he blames it on a forward pass for penriths first try which "impacted the whole game".

FFS.

Yeah, it was kinda funny. But he made a few good points.
