Official William Kennedy

[Thresher]

If it’s a 5-6 week recovery, come finals times and Miller is doing well.

Do we bring Kennedy back in?

Depends whether Miller is putting in a gold medal performance

 

[Sparkles]

We got smashed 30-10 by the Raiders last time he played fullback, our equal biggest loss of the season

Because of Nicho? There's been a few close to that result where he was at 7. We lost against the Roosters 36-16 two weeks later. I don't think you can draw a line between the two.

And confirming he was a beach sprinter, right?

I didn't want Nicho moved to 1 and we lost badly, I'm drawing loads of lines!

Devastating loss

 

[Flanno]

Is Dykes far off a mention?

 

[apezza]

There's a few on here that have been asking for a change at FB for a while now.

Looks like you got your wish

Kennedy is the pace and unpredictability in most of our attacking backline sweeps.

He's 8th in the comp for line break assists.

I hope we're not going to miss him as much as I think we are.

Would have been perfect if Dykes made a debut last week

Obviously not!

Would love to hear the explanation the NRL provides.

If it's a case of we just missed it and there's a cut off they have to charge people then they should be amend that. I'm not saying weeks later but up till the Tuesday when they name a squad they should be able to review and charge anything.

Yeah the only issue I see would be they miss something on Sunday game that doesn't come up until Tuesday or Wednesday, but that team plays Thursday and have already named their side. Maybe if within X many days of the next game, or after team list already up, any suspension wouldn't apply until the next week.

I think it was missed because Will didn't go off the field immediately. He was looked at by the trainer but played on to the end.

There was a time we were told that injuries don't come into the charges. If it's a bad tackle, it's a bad tackle no matter what.

These days it seems more like there needs to be a serious injury before the MRC will do anything.

I reckon if Stephen Crichton's ear hadn't been split open the way it was, Dale would not have been charged.

Lets see if Radley's head is as special as Crichtons ear, or if it's more of a WK ankle

That was pretty gory wasn't it. The blood just flowed and flowed.

Turpin must have a pretty hard head, he didn't bleed at all.

Yep. In hindsight Will should have stayed down - not try his uptmost best to stay on the field and do the right thing.

Looking at the tackle again - that was the classic one on one hip drop. The tackler twisted his body so he could use his own body weight on Will's legs. If he tackled him facing forwards to drag him down it would not have happened

I will give the ref / bunker on the night the benefit of the doubt as he did get up however there is absolutely no excuse for the MRC.

Yet Dale showed no duty of care.....

Just hoping it's not one of our guys on the end (either end) of the dangerous throw they choose to ignore this week to keep things consistent.
