DCE judiciary hearing, 30 April 2024: “The hearing has been shown numerous replays of the tackle from eight different camera angles”. We don’t ever have the luxury of seeing all the angles that the match review or the judiciary see, or the bunker.

What a rude shock all this must be for Wighton. Without the return of Bennett how do they recruit after scapegoating Ilias and JD, unless there is a massive turnaround in performance who would want to head to this implosion?

What now Ollie?

Souths already have a yardage kicker with sweet timing and an enormous boot, if he could be bothered making a more substantial contribution and shoulder an on field leadership role… his name is… Mitchell.

What a rough year for Ilias. It was not his choice to let Reynolds go but he copped way too much of the South’s fan base anger and frustration for this. It looks like Cody and Latrell’s team, the team is on when they are on with Ilias resigned to playing a supporting role. From the outside it looked like he was scapegoated and dropped after a poor game in a poor team performance, then broke his leg, and now South’s have recruited a replacement and thrown Ilias on the scrap heap telling his manager he can find another club. Souths are not looking like an attractive club to move to and now look like they’ve backed themselves into a corner that needs a Wayne Bennett sized solution. Wishing well for Ilias, hope he finds success elsewhere. Also pleased to see Latrell wants to focus on club footy for Souths on his return, i hope he and Cody can find more enthusiasm and better support Murray and Cook and Burgess who put in the effort every game.

Nope. Watch it again and tell me who “slammed him on his neck”. Are you claiming DCE did or are you claiming Olakau’atu did? He landed in a dangerous position, but noone “slammed him” and they alrwady copped “medicine” in the game with penalty and sin bin. Your claim is an obvious exaggeration.

That’s not a response nor relevant to anything I’ve written. Stupid.

Yes. That’s what he’s doing… presenting the case and proposing or recommending action. The exact definition of advocacy. It’s not begging. Huh?

NRL News: Top ref 'rested', Mam has 'no regrets' over Leniu saga, Wally reveals concussion battle

So… what message is NRL admin sending this week? Goodness knows. How is the game improved by suspending DCE and Ola? It was a judo throw over DCE’s hip/thigh… but Ola didn’t lift and had no idea that’s what was happening until it had happened. It put Lane at risk and thankfully no horrible outcome, but neither tackler showed any intent. It it was dangerous, but how was it either careless or reckless? I thought the sin bin was sufficient, I don’t see what behaviour NRL head office intends to discourage or what message they want to send with this suspension. What I know, as a St G supporter is that I want to see both players on the field next week.

Agree SM. Excellent judo throw over DCE’s hip/thigh… but Ola didn’t lift and had no idea that’s what was happening until it had happened. It put Lane at risk and thankfully no horrible outcome, but neither tackler broke any rules or showed any intent – it was neither careless or reckless, but it was dangerous nonetheless. I thought sin bin was sufficient.

Sure. Except that’s not what happened.

Ridiculous statement from the bunker. The bunker again opens itself to outright ridicule.

Gutho fumes at 'stupid' Sivo as Parra throw away lead to lose AGAIN - but should Manly worry about Haumole?

Glad you acknowledged Gutho’s tireless efforts – he really drives this team. Carrying an injury and still playing very strong. Manly have been getting off to good starts, Parra clearly front loaded their effort in this game and started well but they still don’t have a long yardage kick or a game managing half without Moses.

If Edwards isn’t selected at fullback, NSW still need a 14 and an 18. I expect he’ll be in the squad somewhere. I’m sticking with my original point.

MVP Dylan Edwards is the man Penrith's system might not be able to cover

Do you mean “another” dumb ass suspension.

Storm slaughter second-rate Souths as 'a myriad of errors' hammer the final nail into Demetriou's coaching coffin

I am well past passing off being upset as a serious “mental health” issue. The entire point is that this incident was not, and is not in any way out of the ordinary at Penrith or at other clubs in the NRL regardless of the disingenuous Fox hyperventilation.

I guess we’ll find out who is “next man up” for Penrith at fullback during the 2024 SOO period.

What’s next? Will the entire Storm squad sue Bellamy and the club because preseason training was unreasonably exhausting? Isn’t this exactly how those with weaker will are weeded out – any player unwilling to push themselves beyond any reasonable limits is welcome to play recreational sport. Still, i’d love to see the clauses in player contracts that enable these necessarily unreasonable training and performance requirements?

If the Parra game plan was to exhaust their middle forwards… they totally nailed it.

Darwin theory dictates only the strongest survive - Arthur on the rocks at Eels after embarrassing capitulation

I hope they don’t select Hynes. It was really disruptive for Nico’s form and Cronulla’s season last year. Id love to see Cronulla and the Warriors get a clear and undisrupted run at it this year and both have the best chance of being competitive at the pointy end of the season. I’d find a spot for Jake starting and Junior Paulo off the bench.

Agree about Matterson. He was a passenger. AND, if the Parra game plan was to exhaust their middle forwards… they totally nailed it.

“Sack the coach” is a cheap narrative. A close friend is a “corporate management consultant”. His long experience is that top management is often the fundamental issue, but they rarely appreciate or respond well to “management failure” as a key finding of any performance review…
