Official Aussie NRL Thread

Yep, our starting half combination GONE.... thats always what ya want. Will have to bring that Humble goose in as well I guess.

 

My gut feeling is that Benji will play. I remember last time we played the Tigers Benji was also supposed to be out injured but end up playing.

I also remember last year round 5 when we came off a win against Manly and played a heavily depleted Tigers side and they raced out to something like a 26-0 lead before half time and end up smashing us.

 

Can someone with more knowledge of the game please explain to me how Inglis gets

3 weeks

And Ben Teo for a Coathanger get Off.

WTF.

I watched NRL on Fox and when they discussed the Shoulder Charge Issue Ben Ikin and Matty Jones were for keeping it in the game as its what Brings the crowds in the whole Big hits.

Then dickhead Brandy says its time to start protected the players heads. Which in a sport like Rugby League if you outlaw the huge hits the game will die as thats what draws outside fans to the game.

Its huge tackles and hits.

 

The panel who decide these gradings are useless. Before the jury deliberated, the chairman told them that "league is not gladatorial and isnt cage fighting". Not a bad way to influence the outcome.

They say it's not gladatorial yet every league commercial has a shoulder charge hit in it, and the ****ing NRL trophy used to be called the gladiators. atsch

 

Teo had clear eyes for a hit with a closed fist in the face and gets off.

Inglis hit him in the head because Young being short and being brought down at the same time.

WTF

Pecks its a disgrace to the game. The pretty much made a example of a tough play compared to a cheap shot and let the cheap shot slide.

NRL no ****ing clue.

 

Plus pecks didnt Teo carry points into this from a earlier incident and still got off.

Inglis with a clean records made a example of.

Sad days ahead indeed.

 

It's enough to do someones head in.
They need to **** ex players off from these panels, and bring in people who have some intelligence on the matter.

 

Agreed. Ex-players = too many head knocks from shoulder charges.

 

weve had 100 years of shoulder charges and how many deaths or broken necks or outbreaks of bird flu have they caused??
Anyone heard phil goulds take on this?

 

Nah but like I said Rusty.

Matty Jones and Ben Ikin said the game still needs Shoulder Charges.
It adds a certain excitement to the game.
But Brandy the ***** wanted the game to stamp it out.

Also they all agreed that Inglis was the Dally M favorite now wont win because of this incident.

Now they think Ben Barba will win.

Phil Gould I reckon might go the ***** option aswell I just have that feeling.

One thing also the Panel at NRL on Fox did agree on I and Johns quoted this.

I bet thats the last time you see a player running at Greg Inglis that turns his head away from his view or even runs straight at Inglis.lol:

 

No way. phil loves the tough stuff.
Its funny but i kind of thought the same thing when young turned his head. what the **** was he thinking.

 

Thats the second time you've called him "Matty Jones" its "Johns" as in Andrew Johns brother

 

Phil Gould was asked on his thoughts about the GI charge during last Sunday's game and his reply was that he didn't have a problem with it.

 

you mean like the thousands of other careers that have been ended by a shoulder charge? :think
