Non-Manly Games [Round 15, 2019]

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Nice work chee kam the rabbits are hopeless without the burgi. No wonder walker got dropped

 

[HoldenV8]

Tigpies finally win a game at Bankwest.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Hahaha we are going to DESTROY these wabbits

 

[nightster]

terrible playing surface ...

 

[HoldenV8]

terrible playing surface ...

The surface "looks" great, it really does. But its like an ice rink and slippery as hell. Any player who goes out there without the long studs on the bottom of their boots is asking for trouble.

Nice work chee kam the rabbits are hopeless without the burgi. No wonder walker got dropped

Walker has been rubbish ever since the going got tough. He's a fair weather sailor. I hope he gets nowhere near another NSW jersey.

 

[QueefRichards]

Bunnies ruining my tipping again

 

[globaleagle]

Only disliked because of what happened. Waddell, a first time offender, gets 2 weeks. Serial grubs Burgess.....nothing.

I mean, who will ever forget this? Or Michael Buettner's explanation that it was an unavoidable collision and that Sam hadn't seen DCE coming as the reason why the MRC didn't cite him for a shoulder charge? Absolute joke that these grubs keep getting away with their crap.

I wrote to the nrl about this and their response was " We all see things differently" and that Burgess got a letter of caution over it.

A letter of caution.....

 

[globaleagle]

Two things astounded me.

1) It's incredible that whenever some grub act occurs and is pointed out in the nrl, there's always some player that will do the exact same action soon after. We are all annoyed about McGuire's eye gouging so what does the burgess do.......

2) Yet again I didn't listen to HappilyManly's tip that Wests will win. (sheesh)

So... I wonder if the mrc are going to be 'transparent' and say that "There's no clear camera angle so the burgess gets off" like that joke decision with McGuire?

Let the bull**** begin........Out of character, ornament to the game, George is the victim here, he's getting counselling, letter from Greenberg..........

There are clear images of Farrah's red eye though.

Maybe they will issue an invoice again instead of suspending him

Bennett - I didn't really see it... but I thought his hand was on his forehead.

sheesh

Someone's got his hand on it

 

[HoldenV8]

A letter of caution.....

Burgess actually did exactly the same thing next week, shoulder charged a Tigpies player. Got away with that too. Then it came to light why they didn't even cite him, let alone suspend him.....the weekend after the Tigpies vs Souffs game was rep round where England were playing Samoa at Campbelltown in the Pacific Tests and Sam was the big marketing draw card to get people through the gate. It was an absolute joke that they refused to cite or suspend him for two blatant shoulder charges simply because they wanted him playing to get bums on seats.

Is it me or does that sound remarkably similar to only fining Josh McGuire for two eye gouges while at the same time suspending Young from Canberra for 5 games for doing it once? Qld have a smaller talent pool to choose from and McGuire is almost an essential part of the Maroons pack.....

And do the fines get paid?
Do the players pay the fines?
What happens to the money?

 

[Cioran]

Wayne has shown once again, as he did in Newcastle, that he is a great coach providing his team is stacked with stars and they get very favourable treatment from the referees.

 

[HappilyManly]

And do the fines get paid?
Do the players pay the fines?
What happens to the money?

All fines must be paid by the player and the revenue generated by the payment of fines will be reinvested in player wellbeing and education related initiatives.

[globaleagle]

Souths first try was off a forward pass as well.


SO THERE.

Burgess should be rubbed out for the rest of the season.

 

[ALinda]

Burgess should be rubbed out for the rest of the season.

I heard Souths fans (their own fans!) on radio this morning saying he should get 10 weeks

Part of his punishment should be visiting patients at the eye hospital, along with his dog act mate Maguire 😡

Round 15 charges: George Burgess referred straight to judiciary
https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/06/28/round-15-charges-george-burgess-referred-straight-to-judiciary/

 

[40 years an eagle]

Relieved it is a "dangerous contact" charge which will rub him out for more weeks than the "contrary conduct" offence he was charged with last time. He also has a 50% loading for a "similar offence in the last 12 months".

Minimum 6 weeks I would guess.
