NRL 2023 + Internationals

I watched the last 20 mins and it wasn't a great spectacle.
I see that Walters isn't happy with the ref from their game last night vs the Storm. The same ref who did the Warriors-Panthers game. Is he also on work experience?
One of the storm players came in as the third tackler and hit broncos player in the ribs. Andrew Johns alluded to similar incident the week before when one of our boys got sin binned

@canefan It was the sin bin of Carrigan that Walters was most pissed off about. Bellamy agreed it should not have been a sin bin.
Did the ref consult the bunker?
No idea as I didn't watch the game. My comments were based on a Newshub sports story on the news last night.

I can accept refs get calls wrong. What was pleasing last night was the bunker corrected the ref's obviously incorrect calls in the Warriors game. As they should

Of course and the bunker said hip drop and sin bin. Review after the game let Carrigan off, but it doesn't change that they were down a player in the game.
Having said that a Reece Walsh shoulder charge which not only wasn't penalised but no sin bin and it was in act of scoring a try, should have been penalty try. Some people think it was similar to Slater in 2018, but we don't play under 2018 interpretations and everything this year points to that being a shoulder charge. Bunker involved here too.
Again review after game has it as a shoulder charge and Walsh fined.
Bunker made some absolute shockers, not helped by the ginger work experience kid, but it does show its not just the wahs this happens too...

At least it wasn't all one way I guess, so they weren't victims of Warriors level "unconscious bias." But it is exasperating that someone can look at multiple replays from multiple angles and still not come up with the most reasonable decision

Interesting thought he was very good…we are cursed at 6 lol

I guess he will be set for some time on the sidelines now. Get RTS on the phone, we know he isn't up to much.....

This story looks like ageing poorly for Paul Kent.

-
Hahaha the hypocrite! Throw the book at him.
-
Firstly
Fuck Paul Kent. If this was a player this little germ would be getting proper ranty and wanting him burned at the stake. Fuck off, and take NRL 360 with you
-
to the comp
Warriors win, and in to the 8 without having had a bye yet
Roosters cooked, it's gone very very wrong there
Souths still the best team in the comp
St George surely sacking their coach today
Parra in trouble
No one, absolutely no one, gives up points as fast as the Titans. It is incredible how hard they just collapse on D
Manly suck and yet Cronulla tried so hard to give them that game yesterday -
And i think Origin teams to be announced next week? Should be a bloody tight series. Some guys who are normally automatic picks are in terrible form.
-
yep two byes coming up and we should play a depleted Broncos outfit (Origin stars out) in round 13. It appears Barnett back in contact training and Metcalf played reggies on the weekend in his first game since hammy. I am not overly confident with Metcalf right now though as I heard he had to change his running gait and that sends Turbo thoughts through my mind as to how much speed he has retained. Still a fit body is a fit body and D.Walker better when not in the halves.
Roosters had no direction then lose Manu in game, S.Walker also gets injured and all of a sudden even their back up plan looks average. For all the stars they have there still looks to be no cohesion.
Souths looked average apart from Cody Walker for most of that match, but then Latrell decides to inject himself and again that team just pulls away. Really tough to come up against right now.
St. George I think would sack their coach but no one will take over except a caretaker..their management also put themselves in that position making it tough for anyone walking in.
Parra not dead yet, but looked ordinary without Moses, Canberra, Tigers and Cowboys all showing signs of a pulse where there previously was none and will be a threat to all top eight sides.

@mariner4life ahh origin.. interestingly two players who the media were right off, Luai for Penrith and Ponga for Qld, both put in great performances on the cusp of origin. Hard to believe Nico hynes might not get a start for NSW, and for Qld as much as Ponga's performance was good, given his recent history with head knocks I just couldn't pick him for his own safety.
Personally think turbo also should not be picked on current form or health for NSW, but probably will
