It's bugged me for ages but I hate it when players stay on the field and chat and laugh with opposition 10 seconds after a loss. I used to be filthy after losing a game and the last thing I wanted to do was stand there mucking around with the cnuts I'd been trying to bash for the last hour and a half. Anyway rant over

That's where they get the old boxing analogy to describe someone who is easily knocked out: "he has a glass jaw"

Watching that game last nights really was like death by 1000 cuts, no one standout thing just little dumb things over and over contributed to a lose very frustrating. We still have only played 40 minutes of good footy in 3 rounds now.. maybe the whole England trip thing has had a effect hope flanno is on top of it and we wander out and put on a exhibition agsinst the eels.

Worst thing that has ever happened to the club was the end of that season.

It should have been play on.

Was certainly a disappointing match when you look back and see we weren't that far off vs Broncos and the performance down in Canberra but i don't think it should be ringing any alarm bells, pretty similar to last years start when you look at it also think we can put that one down to just an off night honestly some pretty dumb **** from a few players and we just couldn't get into any proper rhythm.

They will come out fine vs Eels i would think Flano hopefully ripping into them this week.

It's an interesting one. It did look to be his jaw, can you get concussion from being knocked there?

Yep, the guys are right... but I did sit through that Will Smith movie, so I feel like I need to contribute and get some value out of it...

Concussion is bruising of the brain caused (usually) by it bashing against your skull. So anything that mooshes your brain against your noggin bone can cause it .

yep

whiplash is a huge cause of concussion yet hitting someone from behind is not considered a dangerous tackle when they are relaxed

If you got knocked out it's a concussion and based on the footage he was gone, dropped like a stone and lay there motionless for a good few seconds not a good look him staying on especially when we took Graham off.

Imagine how dramatic things would have been in the media if we'd been one of the clubs that transgressed and were fined.

Don't think has been mentioned but did anyone else hear about the young fan that allegedly assaulted a police officer at the game?

there have been brawls at both our home games

wanker supporters walking onto the booze hill completely out numbered stirring the pot then wondering why they got their head kicked in

no excuses for belting the copper, but no sympathy for the guys getting belted

What's the penalty for belting a copper? Should be very big imo.
Should be but like alot of things prob just a fine, community/suspended sentace bla blaa, bloke only 18 yrs old apparently but sick of our law going soft and making excuses for people

Goes on his record though which can impact things prospects wise in future - disgraceful act
