2021 NRL Season

It's worth a penalty. Not a send-off and 5 week suspension. Ese'ese only got 3 and it was far worse.

 

Haha, crazy.

Can't believe they dropped Milford but not Isaako.

 

It's all well and good to penalise defenders who make contact high providing late changes of height e.g Tedesco and Papi ducking low at the line is taken into account when penalties/grading are made. Just like we allow challenges on the kicker to play on if the ball has gone but the tackler was committed prior. There has to be some responsibility held by the ball runner to not put themselves in dangerous positions also.

Another thing that concerns me with this whole debacle is the fact we see ball runners essentially lead with the hip and shoulder knowing the shoulder charge in defence is gone from the game, if players start dropping their tackle points lower towards the hips tackles in those scenarios will increase the risk of concussions from heads being in the wrong spot around hip and elbow points of the attacking player.

I think these rules will reduce the amount of potential injuries to ball runners but likely just move them to defenders especially fatigued ones receiving them instead.

 

And then drop Oates and not Coates. Coates had a stupid amount of errors and won't be at the club next year.

As predicted, Kevvie is a useless cunt.

 

Still cant believe we weren't playing Walsh ahead of Isaako.

 

Kevvie is useless. There is a reason nobody else hired him, and we only hired him so the old boys and fox would say and write some positive shit.

 

Instead of penalising everything and sending players to the bin, why not increase the incentive to tackle low? But they won't because they are obsessed with a quick game.

 

Coates has no clue defensively.

 

Man they're are shit. Fmd

 

Radley can't win here. Robinson should hook him.

 

By the end they were trying to find something he'd done.
He did do a few minor head contacts, maybe one would have cost a penalty prior to last week.
