Unlucky there. Held and strip was at the same time.

 

[DEVO]

Jesus Christ I *in' hate Sutton, the worst ref in the game.

 

[DEVO]

Surprised that wasn't called a knock back.

 

[balmainforever]

Moses loves a sook to the ref.

 

[balmainforever]

Bad read from Hopgood.

 

[DEVO]

After a great first 10 minutes that was a terrible half by Parra, attack is a little stagnant and the defense is woeful on the edges. At the moment it looks like we may start the season with two home losses.

Need acting even less than high shots.

 

[DEVO]

Un-*in-believable. How did we give that up?

 

[DEVO]

Very nervous finish

 

[DEVO]

Two home games and both we should have won. Disappointing.

 

[juss]

Reece Walsh is a star, given the Broncos a real weapon from FB that they haven't had for a while.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hope Moses has signed his contract, it's going down by the week in value lol

 

[eddiesmith]

Jesus Christ I *in' hate Sutton, the worst ref in the game.

Yet he hates Cronulla more than any other team!!!

 

[Aucklander]

I know it happened early, but losing Gutho hurt Parra as they were absolutely dominating Cronulla.

Great late game. Always good to see players developed at the Warriors doing well at their new clubs.

Well I thought the Eels/Sharks game was cracking entertainment, both sides prepared to chance their arm with the ball. There's a lot to like about the Sharks, I do have a soft spot for them, and they deserved their win, especially considering their limited possession and field position.

I don't care for the Broncos much, but I do like Herbie. I think he gets better all the time, and he works his socks off too, and really deserved a try for his efforts.

Broncos are right up there this year IMO. Great pack, great outside backs. Probably weak in the halves and hooker compared to other teams, but if their pack and guys like Walsh can carry them it might take them deep.

Parramatta would be concerned. 2 home losses to start the year, already pushing s**t uphill to finish top 4 now.

 

[balmainforever]

Parra would be desperate right now.
0-2 and next 3 are at Manly, Penrith and at Roosters.

If Reynolds stays fit they are fine but that’s a big IF

Yikes probably drop all 3. Shows you how important a good 9 is

So Drinkwater gets the same charge for breaking someone’s jaw as Graham last week who’s hit was so bad the opponent got straight up and didn’t even have to get a HIA…

 

[Aucklander]

Well, not surprised by the result, but at least we're showing some resolve despite some terrible errors. Losing players to injury and HIA hurt too on a hot day.

Graham had priors

Stupid *in game

 

[windyhill]

Cant wait for the Ricky Stuart presser !! Love it Dolphins....

 

[nobbyiscool]

Has rugby league become impossible to referee? Have we got the bunker completely wrong, staffed by morons?

The bunker got just about every decision it made wrong today, a coin flip would've got more calls right.

That last knock on that the Dolphins successfully reviewed - there isn't a time or place in 100+ years of rugby league that it's a knock on.
