Haven’t been on here for quite awhile but after Gus Gould’s comments on 100 percent footy I had to comment. To say those that had not played the game would have a knee jerk reaction and call for latrells head. Well I played the game from under 7 till I was thirty four years old so I think that allows me to have an informed opinion according to Guses logic . The tackle had malice it was late and it was high their was no need to hit someone who is already of balance with that sort of force to bring them down . And with the BS rules rules at the start of the season sending of players for an accidental slip to anywhere close to the head. This should have been and immediate get of and stay of . It reminded me a bit of the Les Boyd hit on the Fatman many years ago what happened to Boyd after that maybe some fair dinkum punishment needs to be dished out to some of these poster boys to settle the aggression .
How did everyone get Latrell Mitchell's hit on Joseph Manu so wrong?
Give a rest my god talk about a storm in a teacup . Yes dumb yes stupid but its done its over move on .
UPDATE: Cleary set to be fined by police over social distancing breach
I will reserve my opinion till about 5 games in it could be a good move and it also could be a really bad one. The thing i liked about 2 refs another set of eyes on of side behaviour when touchies were asleep also the odd backfeild altercation. And the other thing being tossed around the favouritism for one team over another by the man with the single whistle, but this dosen’t happen does it . Lets wait and see will be interesting.
The pros and cons of the NRL's one-ref move
As Gall said its never going to happen this promoter wanted some free air time its all BS . Mighty Mike would knock any of these C grade fighters to never never land . Although Mike is 53 he is one of the best and hardest punchers we have ever seen and watching his training videos he hasnt lost to much over the years and nothing short of a well trained boxer of equal talent would go 60 seconds with him . So.lets wait and see what Mike decides but it wont be any wanna be,s thats a sure bet.
Footy player boxing bouts must stop before someone gets hurt
Yes 30 seconds to find it 3 hours to read it and even more to understand it the pretty photos are great but Fox and Nine arnt bitching for nothing they have invested millions and their saying it was not managed in a way that they would endorse. But unless some intrepid journo or some leaked documents come out we will never know the full story . To many questions unanswered.
Fittler blames clubs for NRL woes, not Greenberg
Greenburg was the man at the top and apparently ruled with an iron fist what he said the rest followed. Grass roots footy has declined in every area if what is being said is true where did all the money go . I would love to see a brake down of the finances before covid although we never will . Whoever takes over the rains at the top i hope they can be alot more transparent as to where the dollars are being spent because if all reports are right they had a hell of a lot of dollars in the piggy bank and a lot of people would love to know how it was spent.
Fittler blames clubs for NRL woes, not Greenberg
Head of refs comes out and admits Parra were robbed and it was there for all to see . The game has become a lottery .
Thank you Brisbane and Parra, that was simply outstanding!
Have to agree with Albo i hate the stripping rule the refs just cant get it right it cheapens the game . I agree with Robo from the chooks the players are worried about self preservation when running at the opposition trying to hang on to the ball while being ripped in three directions is a major feat in itself . Just get rid off the worst rule in rugby league i am sure the refs would like to see it gone .
Annesley: NRL stripping rule under the microscope
Wow what a crazy backward decision by the judiciary. NRL raving on about player safety then wussells fav gets a fine Moylan out for a week .And Maloneys devastating and severely injurious trip gets a week the judiciary have finally lost the plot get em out shocking decisions. Hypocrisy at its best.
Why Burgess escaping suspension is a disgraceful mistake
Its another NRL witchhunt 2014 for cronulla and it took this long to surface B.S. . And the Tigers made it public from day one the author must be mates with Todd i think the NRL is bringing the game into disrepute just another NRL sensation whats next .
Don’t blame the NRL for your club’s bad deeds
NRL have lost the plot they should deregister themselves a bloody mountain out of a mole hill.
Sharks have no regrets about self-reporting Shane Flanagan's breaches
A half good Hayne is twice as good as a lot running around at the moment.
Dragons look at Hayne for 2019 NRL: Report
Yes he did the wrong thing but it was the next morning wasnt it . The NRL jumped straight on top and banned him bit harsh i think christ 0.8 it used to legal .
Suspended GI no certainty to regain Australian captaincy
Cmon we have seen a lot worse get off . I am no storm fan but commonsense prevail it was a bump if anything and their was no intent to hurt it was a great tackle.
#FreeBilly! Storm the courts if you must, Melbourne
I know many many people who would disagree with you. I have been involved in league for 30 plus years and have watched die hard fans just stop going to games and watching even taking their kids out of jnr league and putting them in AFL . Their is a huge amount of country teams who no longer exist and those that struggle to get enough jnrs to field teams , grassroots league is being overtaken by AFL in a lot of areas . After talking to a lot of people and asking how come you no longer have an interest, i think without going into specific s i could say its the way things are run .The admin,refs,players bringing the game down with their of feild actions,but its seems the main gripe you hear is favoritism by the refs to certain teams and no consistency in decisions from week to week . And its a shame because if i no thirty people then lots of others must know people who dont watch or go anymore . So im glad to hear someone thinks everything is going good for the game .
Problems? The NRL is doing just fine
If Chambers dosen’t get time for that tackle the NRL just arn’t serious about their player welfare stance on protection of the man put in a dangerous position that tackle was not an accident.
Smith among the casualties as banged-up Storm take down Parramatta
Because Jackson was the best in the series last year . Slater definitely wasn’t.
This year's farcical decision proves the Wally Lewis Medal needs fixing
Spot on Scott we put the question around today in the grib hut at morning tea and the majority reckon its a farce. They just threw the credibility of the award in bin as for the expert former players who voted all as i can say is what games were they watching. It certainly looks like favoritism for a retiring Billy Slater. Yes he was good and probably the best fullback we have seen but he did not deserve player of the series after only two games. The NRL need to fix it so only a player who has played the entire series is eligible.
This year's farcical decision proves the Wally Lewis Medal needs fixing
How did Slater win the award for best player of the series when he only played 2 games.Cmon its a joke what were they thinking . Its just another total stuffup it lessons the awards credibility to the max.Dont get me wrong Slater is a great player and is probably the best fullback weve seen but this favouritism because of his retirement not because he was the best over the series .Its a slap in the face for NSW .
Billy Slater claims Wally Lewis medal in final game
Intentional is punching dropping the shoulder into someones head kicking commonsense decisions that would determine intent and not for the accidental actions that can happen in the course of a tackle .And personally i would like to see the grading system thrown out as it hasnt worked and to often the judicary get it horribly wrong . Its to coplex and it does need to be simplified. But opinions vary dont they .?
Scott cops two-game NRL ban for punch
T.B. over the years i havent always agreed but todays post is by far your best word for word spot on well done.
Genius, grub or somewhere in between: Who the bloody hell is Cam Smith?
One was an accident one was intentional their is a big difference and as i said their is no way Walker or anyone for that matter comes back in a week with a broken eye socket and what i am saying if the injury time is over the mandatory sentence that the perp would normally recieve then he should sit out to for intentional breaches just so your clear lol.
Scott cops two-game NRL ban for punch
Bit over the top their Mc their is no way Walker will be back for any less than 4 weeks what i am saying is 2 weeks is a joke and yes make it that simplistic if the player comes back in three then so can the perp why not .
Scott cops two-game NRL ban for punch
What a joke Walker out for six weeks perpetrator out for two Scott should be out for the same time but a fair go wont happen its the NRL.
Scott cops two-game NRL ban for punch
Well opinions vary alot for mine the Bunker needs to be given an overhall on many fronts. How many times have we seen howler mistakes from the box but still they persist with the same format for people who make the decisions in the bunker their has to be a better way better people maybe more in the box . Whatever their needs to be a solution or get rid of it altogether and go.back to two refs lol. Their is no defence for a shot like Latrell dished out you can bend it anyway you want late, high, careless, intent, reckless, accidental, he was falling, but we need to get that sort of play out of the game. Because mums and dads are not letting little Johnny play rugby league because of these sorts of tackles that go terribly wrong . And unless they can come down hard on over the top aggression in tackles our jnr league that is already having trouble in attracting players will suffer even more. The whole system needs a clean up.
Why the focus on Latrell misses the real issue in a failing system
