Also Josh Mcguire on report with a nasty looking high shot on Ponga.
With his record , he would only need a minor charge to get suspended..

Watching the game again, I gotta say, the stripping rule is the shame of the league at the moment. The Moylan strip was just bull****. What is the rule? A second panther still had contact with Moylan when the strip took place, so is he deemed to not be in the tackle because of what? What is classified as “in the tackle”? It’s the most important part of the rule but it has no clarity, it’s just ref interpretation which is garbage.
The rule should be “one on one tackle”, not “there where three on one till a split second before the strip then there was one left”. I just can’t see what it adds to the game in its current shape.
If it stays this way, it’ll lead to attacking players deliberately releasing the ball before the players drop off if they sense a strip move on. If teams perfect that move in attack, then it’s just a boring **** show of stripping strategy. It’s not what fans turn up to watch.
Captains should be able to challenge it, and if on replay a second defender still had any contact with the attacker, then it’s a strip penalty against.
That said we’re going to have to start doing it too or anticipating when it’s on, because it hurt us last night.

Further to the strip rule-
Watching the woods strip, Martin is basically using the other two tacklers to help him set up for the strip, then once woods is awkwardly falling and puts a hand out, they drop off.
So it isn’t one on one. Without the other two in the tackle earlier, the strip never happens. It’s a piece of **** rule.

I was thinking about this after the game.
Like all rules there are coaches and players that will learn to exploit it.
I wouldn't mind there being a facet to the rule which stated that if players drop off intentionally in order to facilitate a one on one strip, that a penalty goes to the team that was stripped.
It's gotten a bit ridiculous and shouldn't be as important to the game as an attacking kick, attacking set move etc.
(I'll admit that I probably wouldn't be as worried about it if we weren't such easy prey.)

A strong organisation would admit the change was wrong and would revert back next season!
I'm one that hopes that's what they do.

Imagine going from a Broncos head coach salary to a Cronulla assistant’s salary.

Be like the Broncos paying a players Cap that they want moved on .
Assist coach $350 / year for next 3 years = 1.05 MIL
Broncos pay 1 MIL we pay 50K
At least keeps Seibs in the game , good luck otherwise
PS : Just look at how well the Broncos defence is going

Need Flanno to negotiate it and get them to throw Alfie in to run the drinks.
