I think he's shown at Origin level that his defending is fine... when he can be bothered. I just don't think he has much interest in defending in the line.

That was completely the opposite on the weekend. Rushed up too fast.

 

[Jatz]

So why do these mandatory concussion protocols start in round 3 of the season and not round 1?

Ponga essentially. Back to back weeks with HIA's having to be done.

They're just (rightfully) being overly cautious with it.

I’m over this voice over bloke.

 

[CURVE]

I was thinking about turning the game off after one the worst 30 minutes of football I've ever seen by a Parramatta team, but we have managed to work our way back into the game with two quick tires.

 

[CURVE]

We managed to hit the front with a second Gutho try and then we throw it away

 

[CURVE]

Terrible call. Touchie calls a forward pass on a ball that went a metre back. Costs RCG a try.

 

[exe ex machina]

They should be able to challenge forward passes

 

[Great8]

Deadset rabble.

 

[exe ex machina]

Scored again Parra 34-30 with a couple minutes left. They should've played like this earlier.

 

[CURVE]

Despite being outplayed, we were robbed due to two terrible decisions. The Manly try that was an obvious knock on, and then Parramatta's no try when the pass went a metre backwards. Right now we sit at the bottom of the table.

 

[aj1992]

Might have to put 50 on the dolphins for the premiership at this rate

 

[Aucklander]

Good effort by the Knights.

 

[Paul Kersey]

****ing Souths shitting the bed big time.

 

[windyhill]

Just watched the replay, outstanding game.

 

[Aucklander]

Not sure what's funny. A seriously undermanned Knights just couldn't hold on in the end. Gutsy effort I thought.

 

[moto748]

Yeah, that's true. I'm not really convinced by the Dolphins yet, obviously they are riding on a tide of goodwill at the moment, but we'll see how they go when come up against the better sides. And the Knights are not a good side at the best of times, and this is far from that.

Devo, I'm pleased to say a couple of your cast-offs are doing OK for us. Top try-scorer in SL last season (by a distance), and third for the other fella. Another couple for Bevan tonight.

 

[exe ex machina]

This Storm-Titans game is a cracker. Both teams are throwing the ball around crazily and both forward packs are hunting their rival forwards, many big hits, sniper hits.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Loiero is one stupid footballer.

 

[Falconista]

This Storm-Titans game is a cracker. Both teams are throwing the ball around crazily and both forward packs are hunting their rival forwards, many big hits, sniper hits.

Only caught the last 7 minutes- quite the result.

 

[Aucklander]

What a win. The D in this side is the best I've seen in years.

 

[royboy2]

Massive chance to get 0 tips this round

 

[nobbyiscool]

Massive chance to get 0 tips this round

I'm currently on 0 in the NRL and the AFL at the moment

 

[windyhill]

Reece Walsh, one of the most exciting players on the planet. Any sport.

 

[royboy2]

Dogs trying their best to shit the bed
