It was arguably technically correct but undoubtedly unrelated to reality.

Surely everyone who’s watched even just a handful of games gives that as a try.

Koroisau limps out of Tigers' defeat to Broncos after being cruelled by the harshest Bunker call of the year

It’ll stuff Manly’s season completely if they lose DCE as well. Even with Ola and DCE, they would struggle to win the next two weeks against Raiders and Dolphins. Then a horror stretch of Brincos, Storm and Panthers.

some offences certainly have an element of being outcome based

I think in some circumstances that’s ok.

But when it’s conduct that has an inherently high risk of serious harm and involves a deliberate choice, like Milne’s tackle (if you can even call it that), it’s got to be a penalty sufficient to discourage the action regardless of the outcome.

Maybe the Medicabs could race each other and we could bet on them?

@cam In rugby that’s a possible full send off (red card).

I think he needs to find another planet to live on. I just don’t see it working out for him on this one.

Tacklers who go in upright especially to an equally tall hard running carrier have a high chance of a head knock. It’s not rocket science.

Granted some of the situations I have in mind he probably wouldn’t have stopped the try. But a true FB H8s the try line being breached and will get back to cover the 5% chance the carrier trips or gets a bad bounce. Sloan’s attitude is “meh, someone else can …”

Really sh.ts me that Ennis is often insightful, means you kinda have to listen to him.

Get rid of Sloan, whatever it costs. Close to if not the laziest FB I’ve ever seen.

Tipping the Broncs but Tigers certainly a chance.

I like Madden but surely Reynolds is fit enough for kicking?

For Cogger I think you mean Madden?

Agree, I was hoping Sailor in place of Mam, certainly more alike.

Agree, no Nanai

Maroons' Origin predicted team: Slater forced to make changes after injuries sideline some certain selections

“I get criticised about it all the time,” Inglis admitted on Queenslanders Only.

“Look there was no doubt I was born in NSW and played all my junior league for NSW.

“People ask me where I’m from and I say I’m born and raised in Kempsey which is mid-north coast NSW.

“The reason why I chose Queensland — I had a choice — back then it was a choice I said to myself ‘I’ve been living up here for two years and this is where I want to stay’. I wanted to stay up and I actually wanted to play for the Broncos.

“I was signed with Melbourne at that stage still and Melbourne sent me up there to go to Wavell Sports High.

“I stayed up there, made a lot of good friends, played a lot of football up there.

“The camaraderie that Queensland had, I just decided to sign on the piece of paper and it was like ‘yep, I’m ticking Queensland’.”

I think he grew up in Pleasedon’tmakemeplayfornswville?

Gosh that must hurt, when people don’t want to play for NSW 😊

NSW doesn’t get SOO or irony.

Yep. We are definitely the underdogs this year 😁 👍 🏏

Yeah, I try to stay away from criticising refs and the judiciary but this year seems to have a greater degree of inconsistency than usual.

Yep, Cleary Snr is one of the things that makes the Panthers’ dominance palatable for the rest of us.

That was an excellent piece TB.

Dead right, HY. Even when he was under the pump he kept coming. Classic FB attitude. Earned several games worth of brownie points.

NRL Round 7 Talking Points: With big wins come big losses, and which coach is the game’s biggest sook?

Agree, a lot of the imagery seems to miss the point of ANZAC Day. Certainly, it is not meant to celebrate combat. As you say, it should celebrate peace and give thanks for service.

Surely one of the first things you learn about passing, even in backyard footy – don’t throw a pass that might be intercepted! If the defence is rushing up out wide, a few short kicks in behind will sort that out.
