Where Moylan and Curran went for the ball
Hunt was penalised for pushing Curran
He kind of touched his back as Curran slowed for ball. Not complete incorrect penalty but certainly harsh. Don’t think anyone bats an eye if it is just called Curran knock on

I’ve just got back from the game after a rain soaked walk along Captain Cook Drive back to our car. I can still feel the squelching on my shoes and walked along absolutely pouring rain to the Mrs complaining about being squashed in her seat during the game and squashed under the umbrella walking with me. Finally reached our car after what seemed an eternity.

I’m sitting here at the moment, cooking some sausages on the BBQ trying to figure out how the hell we lost that game. Up 20 nil at one stage and then 26-6 just before half time, I just don’t understand how we let that all unravel. I think we all know other teams would have easily put the Warriors away today in that same situation. Our defence is absolutely shocking it is as bad as the Tigers I reckon. We do not move up Quickly in defence. We miss way too many tackles and we just look like a rabble, when things are not going our way. Fitz has got to fix this up and quickly.

We’ve shown we can score points, but we need to show a lot more in defence.

Yes, there were some puzzling refereeing decisions, but we should not have been in that position throughout the second half. I’m gonna find it hard to pick players in my 321 because no one really stood out not even Nicho.

Hopefully we can turn this around before the roosters game.

Reckon Curran was lucky to even be on to score through Moylan or get a penalty from Hunt after he threw his knees into Ronaldo after he took a kick.

We’ve been done twice for accidental head knock onus being on defender. If they fall and you high shot them that’s onus on the defender. But his leading with the knees was okay?

Never understood why he was put on report but no penalty?

Hope they're decent sausages after all of that

That’s what i wanted to know was it the bunker. And why does it pick and choose when to intervene

Got 7 tackle set but reckon Hynes could have made 30 kicking it out - maybe it is deemed 7 tackle set is better?

But that was as if not more dangerous than the two moving* hip drops.

*(It’s the ones where player is stopped and weight comes back over the hip drop tackler that seem to consistently do most damage)

Yeah not sure. Seemed like delayed penalty, I thought we were getting it for a bit.
Nothing reportable so not sure why bunker intervention needed.

Think they had their challenge though? So if bunker thinks push then it would have been called anyway

Curran overran that ball though

The hip drops were soft as anything, pretty tough making a tackle and getting dragged. Look penalty at the least rather than a sin bin.

Warriors used their challenge at the end with the Johnson offside penalty

It was a harsh penalty but Hunt cooked it early on with no urgency and it was a poor pass from Brailey

Yeah you’re right so they def still had it for true ‘push’
