Yeah, Gus has already said on his Twitter account that he is speechless, he is without speech.

Gal will make up for it.

One of the underlying problems for me is all the stoppages in the last 5 minutes that are turning the game into basketball.
Yes it's good for TV, but it means that a team can be comfortably the better team all game and then lose to a few trick shots at the end.
And it means more of these crucial last-second decisions.
The clock should have just been allowed to run out as he was taking the kick at goal.

maybe, but someone needs to keep Gus in line. Be a bit boring without him. Just wish he wouldn't interrupt and speak over people.

Gotta admit I don’t love the footy as much as I used to.
Decisions like the Tigers game, the Dale charging & others where there is some real intent but they escape MRC attention.
On top of that the crusher tackle where players feign injury to milk a penalty, most crusher tackles the ball carrier is putting themselves into that situation yet the defenders have to somehow adjust themselves mid tackle to not cop a penalty.
The refs or the video ref, who more often than not include themselves by tipping the on field ref it’s a penalty have no common sense feel for the actual tackle, the ones where the player has the ball carrier held upright then drops down on them I can cop & admit it’s a penalty every day of the week but 75% minimum of the crusher tackles penalised should be play on.
Then there’s the hip drop tackle, again, the ref has no feel for what’s an accident or just pure momentum of bodies in a tackling process, by all means, penalise the deliberate intent of such a tackle but again, most hip drop tackles penalised are just plain bad luck & shouldn’t be penalised.

The hip drop one annoys me. 99% don't get charged but the penalty at the time really hurts.
For those type of incidents just let the MRC review - unless they are glaringly obvious.

Has there been an Annesley press conference this morning as yet?

I can’t believe you just posted “just let the MRC review”.
The MRC is a big part of the problem.
They are just as inconsistent (if not more so) than the refs and bunker as it is (which says a lot).
Giving them even more responsibility (or lack of judgement, lack of balls to make a right call) is flirting with even more danger.
3 or 4 teams will be playing full contact footy and the rest will have to be content with touch footy.

Yeah so did I. It will also be broadcast live on SEN and of course on NRL website.
Agree but at least it won't affect the game at the time.
Also if more teams fight stupid charges then that will stop the MRC from citing stupid charges to begin with.
That's why the early plea discount is so much, so you never want to fight it.
If Nelson wanted to argue his lifted forearm charge (which admittedly would be unwise) he goes all the way from $3k fine to a 2 match suspension!
Dale's punishment is 50% worse if he unsuccessfully argues it. It's structured so you just cop it and move on unless you wanna play 10k plus for a lawyer to BS you out of it like that a shoulder charge isn't a shoulder charge if it is the safest thing for both players

What’s the chance of both teams getting 2 points?
