friday night footy discussion

[fletch]

if Moa was charged for his crusher (although cleared later), Stewart should definitely face a ban, there was a second movement to put downward pressure on Watmough's head.

makes me sick hearing Gus defending that grub Stewart.

Does anyone else sit here and think on many occasions: if that was a rooster, that would have been a penalty? I've thought that many times, especially on occasions where the defender doesn't immediately get up when called held, or when that double effort by an eels player a few sets back was called play on.
So many double standards

absolutely, the double standards by officials is the main reason why I don't watch anywhere near as much NRL as I used to.

geez the vermin get some soft penalties.

young John Folau having an absolute stormer for the Eels

Did anyone see inglis miss that tackle for the eels last try?
He did the same thing against us when Tupou scored a few weeks back,

I have been watching about 15 minutes. The first thing I saw was Souffs pass forward from dummy half and get a penalty. Then there was a strip penalty to Souffs that was anything but.

It just staggers me that they get such a leg up.

There is always a 3rd defender whose job is to flop on the other 2 tacklers after the tackle is completed. Apparently this is legal as it is never penalized.

How hopeless is Inglis' defence? Not a word about it by the Nine dickheads.

Did anyone pick up in the Ch Nein news interview with Ivan Cleary that Seygeaino is not playing this weekend due to stitches AND CONCUSSION?????

If he has concussion 4 days after the game, what did he have on the night? Why are they not investigating WHY and WHO allowed him back on the field. At the ground I called it "Souff Sydney Concussion"

[crikey chris]

More Shit defense by Ingli$ lol

[fletch]

the vermin don't look so crash hot when they don't get a tonne of pressure relieving penalties.

[rwbfl]

I reckon Souths will win this match. Eels needed to score with all the ball they had

[Johnny Tobin]

And they have to defend.

They will probably win this game though.

It's a joke how much ref help these clowns get.

best in the business scoring when they do get a penalty - they've had the most practise
