NRL NRL 2020 Season - Round 17

[eddiesmith]

First contact was head. It was borderline intentional. Clear send off offence. You’d be going nuts if it was against your team. About time a ref sent someone off for foul play.

If it was the other way around it’d still be a penalty to the Knights with Cummins in charge

The other weeks everyone was up in arms about a bloke biting someone being sent off, Now a shoulder charge is a send off? I take it you’re now claiming Townsend was the first shoulder charge of the season because there has only been three send offs and one was for biting...

 

[Aucklander]

I thought send off straight away and multiple replays confirm it.

Don't blame Cummins for Townsend's thug act. Team was down and he was just annoyed, thought he'd get away with an intentional cheap shot. Contact was the head, send off. The joke is all instances like this should be a send off offense.

Then I hope the Knights get charged for failing to take Ponga off for a HIA. Such a vicious head shot that results in a send off can’t be ignored...

And I agree there should have been HIA doesn’t mean the act wasn’t a send off offence

 

[Aucklander]

3 to 5 weeks. Sounds fair.

Very surprising it wasn’t sent straight to the judiciary

Maybe, but I think it's right all the same.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Maybe, but I think it's right all the same.

Yeah I guess. Personally felt it should be referred. Was an ugly incident

 

[Aucklander]

No doubt on your last point.

 

[eddiesmith]

Why? It was a shoulder charge that got a ridiculous game day penalty.

Noticed not everyone Cummins reported got charged, he’ll be so filthy!

But they’ve achieved the main aim, suspend key players from the Warriors Game so the fairytale can come true...

It’s been graded a 3-5 week incident. More than enough for a send off offence

The most incredible part is if he challenged it, he’d get more than a bloke found guilty of biting...

Rd 13- Jack Hetherington got a 5 week charge and missed 4 weeks, did he get sent off?

He should've been. That's the refs fault.

He should have been in fact the head referee admitted they made an error there

 

[Aucklander]

A thriller at Manly.

 

[Aucklander]

Tigers in front.

 

[balmainforever]

Manly

 

[Aucklander]

That was some choke.

 

[balmainforever]

That was some choke.

It reminded me of a Monday night game back in 2010 when tigers won 26-22 late after being totally dominated in the first half.

One for the books lol

Bloody good fight back.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Roosters still the team to beat unfortunately

 

[moto748]

Roosters have shown some fallibility in defence lately, but it wasn't on show today. Good effort from the Raiders, and George and JB were pretty good, but you can't say they ever looked like winning, even in periods where they had the field position. All the hoo-ha about SBW, unsurprisingly, didn't amount to much.

Pleased to see the Tigers turn over Manly. How good is Nofoaluma? He has been fantastic the last few weeks, helped by some nice set-ups from Benji.
