Game on NOW Thread

[Sir Chadley]

Why did it take so long for them to make that decision? Clearly two in the tackle.

 

[Western Sharkie]

It’s a “notryathon” this second half

 

[sharks2010]

They do this **** every year though, go overboard like with head highs.

They never learn. Never.

Yeah there's such a massive difference between the intentional hipdrop and 95% of the ones that happen now which are complete accidents

It's the same as the 'crusher', people are getting penalised now because of the position the attacker gets in like when they reverse into the defence

The nrl need to realise the difference between intentional and accidental

So if you accidentally take someone's head off in a high tackle, it should be OK?

 

[HaroldBishop]

**** me Storm getting away with being offside tonight

 

[Flanno]

So if you accidentally take someone's head off in a high tackle, it should be OK?

Exactly! I would also argue the majority of hip drops are accidental

Sux **** Walsh
Great game as a neutral

That depends doesn't it, if the player slips right before the defender leaving him no time to react then yes it should be

 

[vicsharkfan]

Like the we look of the storm winger not Coates

 

[MrDravid]

And yet it is still a penalty.

 

[sharks2010]

And yet it is still a penalty.

But not 10 in the bin though is it

And it wasn't always a penalty

 

[MMsharks]

how was that last Broncos try a try?

 

[MrDravid]

But not 10 in the bin though is it

And it wasn't always a penalty

So Nanai accidentally puts BHU out for 4 weeks, penalty sufficient?

That was the pure definition of a hip drop. You telling me you can't see the difference between that one and Carrigan's?

 

[Gumby]

The worst one I seen this year was Payne Hass on RCG. Didn't even get penalised and he got 1 week for it. Once again no consistency whatsoever. RCG out for 8 weeks because of it.

 

[Paul C]

That was the worst refereeing performance I have ever seen.

Hope someone pays Bellamy's fine and he says what he really thinks.

****ing disgrace.

If that happened to the Sharks I would be apoplectic.

I'm not sure I ever said Carriagans was the same as Nanai's... all I'm saying is that being accidental IMO doesn't solely qualify as an excuse.

Has Todd Smith ever reffed a decent game?

Not that I've seen and the Muppets on the Matty Johns show have glossed over it

Nanai's could have been avoided, Carrigan's not. That's the difference.
