While it's a cheap shot , is there anything in the rule book to say it's illegal ? Serious question . 
But like slaters foot slide years ago to prevent the ball being put down, while everyone could see it was dangerous , they had to make a new rule to outlaw it .

Stockholm Syndrome Kiwiinmelb? ;)
 
He went in with a swinging arm for one - that's clearly illegal. Furthermore, the ref penalised him and warned him so I assume there's something in there.

I need to see that particular tackle again , just saw a snippet , 
But was talking more about the aggressive tackle of someone already on the ground. 
It's a grey area that needs to be looked at , interesting the voluntary tackle used to be illegal, in the past the guy on the ground could be penalised for submitting

Just one more thing I hated him for. It was a dangerous play and he was lucky he never kicked anyone hard in the head. I always wished he'd try that dirtbag move once too often and blow his CL's

How the hell did the Warriors lose to those fools?
 
Wests will fire Jason Taylor as coach but nothing will change until the club goes into full rebuild mode. Hard to believe they will lose young rake Manaia Cherrington before the June 30 deadline because Robbie Farah refuses to leave the club.

They let the players abuse the hell out of refs, they let in cheap shots and all they do is put things on report.

The NRL spend all this money on "The Bunker" but the refs are letting the players run riot. Swinging arms, tripping, holding back players from scoring tries, are some of the fouls the players are getting away with because they know the refs won't do anything.
 
At least the latter was dealt with finally. Corey Norman acted like a whiny bitch about it too which should come with a fine from the judiciary (but it won't).

Melbourne bitch slapping the Warriors like a red headed step son.
 
10-0 after 13m but should have been 14-0 but the Melbourne winger blew an easy run in and stepped out.

Nepia

Oh, and surprisingly (or should that be unsurprisingly) the sin bin is back - against the Warriors for holding a guy down 50 metres from the try line. 
 
NRL is fucked up.

Nepia

The Storm Kiwi forwards are carving up.
 
Bromwich in.
 
Tohu scored the first and Bromwich passed a pearler for the second try.
 
How do the Warriors get all the dud NZ forwards (aside from Muts) and Storm get the good ones.

Warriors are getting raped but the reffing is disgraceful too. Cheap shot on Lolohea - in most cases the refs stop play to check on the player.

Frye

First NRL game I've watched all year, and the Warriors are playing as gutless as ever. On Anzac day of all days. 
I'd be embarrassed to call myself a Warriors supporter to be honest.

Sneakdefreak

Fuck we just lost Lolohea to a knee injury. Season gone now.

I thought we'd have lost him to a concussion from how he was flopping around but guess his bung knee made him look wobbly.
 
I like how optimistic you were - the season has been gone a long time.

Just persuaded Mrs Steppa to let me change the channel from the Living Channel to check the score. 
Quickly back to the Living Channel it is then...

Korobete(spelling) won't be making his switch to rugby as first thought..hang on hes made of what ever the fuck tough c@nts are made of.
 
Had his leg bent the wrong way from the knee and runs it off.

Sneakdefreak

So let us focus on the Kiwis: Petr Hiku at fullback? Sam Perrett? Jordan Kahu? Jason Nightingale? Dallin Watene-Zelezniak? Josh Hoffman?

You know my thoughts, ABH. 
 
But, if forced to make a decision I'd go for Hoffman.

The Warriors overall record in the NRL is very comparable to the Hurricanes in Super rugby. What's that saying about stones and glass houses again?

kiwiinmelb

Here I am before the game telling people ignore the Warriors position On the ladder , they always front for this game, 
All they have done is play the storm back into form., like a training drill

raznomore

Absolute disgrace. Im with C4L. Time to go back to Manly(spit)..
 
Amazed only 42 was put on the Warriors.
