All NRL Games [Round 24, 2025]

I beg to differ. Leota could be said to have moved out of the way of Grant if anything. Grant ran around the left on purpose to crash into him, however the most direct route to Cleary and his right foot kick was to the right.
Grant milked, plain and simple.

That's fine thou. Agree to disagree.

I beg to differ

When you look at the head on shot, Cleary was back and to the left of Leota. I'm not denying that Grant milked it, but the fact is Leota did take a step to his left.

It can't be interpreted as Leota moving to get out of Grant's way when the step he takes is in the lateral direction where Cleary was standing. To be moving out of the way, Leota would have had to have moved to the right and backwards.

Grant Penalty.webp
 
More evidence of the quality in attacking kicks that our "great kicker" DCE can't produce.

The Storm do it for Coates, the Chooks for Tupou. Their kicks are to the in-goal giving them a better than even chance.

DCE's kicks for Saab regularly land about 5 metres out.

That pic tells you everything you need to know why that rule is so wrong.
