I would have upgraded had there been seats available as Chad wouldn’t even give me a wave let alone call me up into the stands to sit with him and Scomo……. 😆

Just jokes mate. 😉
Glad Sharks aimed up for your East Coast visit Western.
You should bring that good fortune to Shark Park more often .
Chads shout ;)

I’ve paid out enough on Chad and he has been a good sport about it. 👍🏻

But, yes, I’d love to be able to schedule more regular trips to watch more games.

He did look like he at least thought he was spat on. I don't know if I'm much of a lip reader but I think the looked up and said "did he ****ing spit on me?"

There was pretty good footage of it so if some dick head spit then good chance he'll be in strife. And so he should be, fair enough give the bloke gobful but spitting is ****ing low, especially if he can't belt you.
Imagine if it was scomo

All in good fun mate. :) Hope you enjoyed the trip! Would have loved to meet up and have a beer (or Pepsi!) with you but I had my son and one of his mates with me and I wouldn't have been able to leave them. Hope you have a good trip back!

Fantastic win last night with a team effort. Disappointed today that the media focus on Smith send-off instead of highlighting the Sharks scoring tries. Footage on Seven was mainly about Smith walking off and Bromich injury. Good grief.

They SHOULD fight that one
So what is a hip drop anyway ?

I watched kids being taught to hit around the hip or thigh and finish around the ankles ?

I know Melbourne put a spin on this with the leg twisting tactics among other things .

Are you suppose to just drop off the tackle instead of slipping down?

Any explanation appreciated…

Holding the hips of player with ball and throwing weight down into lower legs of player. Usually looks like a distinct action to throw weight onto legs where I would say Nikora was momentum as part of a reasonable tackle

Smith made that look worse than it was
Smith should get fined too for trying to cheat the ref with his spectacular fall.
And trying to milk a penalty before he was binned. He seemed to think the tackler made a second effort. BS. I assume he spat it that he did not get a call go Melbournes way.

I thought Bellamy showed a lot of class in the presso; apart from insinuating that his tackled players were slowed in the ruck - the audacity of the man!!

We’ll get the thread started for the Cowboys game next week but if everyone’s fit, here’s how I think we line up. I’ve also allowed for the fact that Nikora takes the early plea.
