Who did this before? Tony Iro for the Rams?

I really hate that sh!t.
So a voluntary tackle is a penalty, a “professional” foul is a penalty, a deliberate forward pass is a penalty but voluntarily deliberately and “professionally” running down the clock is okay?
It might be legal but it’s not a good look.
I get them kicking the ball out on the full or running out but really any “negative” play like running backwards or throwing it over your own deadball line should be penalised in my opinion.

If I remember correctly, his Uncle did it to us at Brookie when he was playing for Souths. Not Chris the other walker

 

[Ranga]

I don't have a problem with what Sam Walker did and some of the reactions I have seen are, in my view, a little OTT. No different really to tackled players faking injury and taking an age to get up and play the ball in the final 30 seconds.

There are plenty more aggravating things that occur in life.

I agree. A clever and entertaining ploy to eat up the last few seconds of a close game. Probably the only memorable moment from what was a pretty ordinary game.

 

[mave]

Looking forward to Vlandys cracking down on this play, and Cherry being the first to get penalised for running in circles.

When was the last time a voluntary tackle or a deliberate forward pass was penalised?(when has anyone deliberately thrown a forward pass anyway?)

I can’t believe the hysterics over this.Isn’t the aim of the game to avoid defenders and be ahead of the opposition at the end of the game?What I find funny is those that are outraged think it’s the first time it’s ever happened

 

[danny-boy]

Vossy said it best; “Lewis should go up and smash him”.

Absolute dog act.

 

[manlyfan76]

It's not basketball .

I have no problem with what he did and I actually enjoyed the game last night, it was not over until the end and the battle up front was very physical, JWH, Hetherington, Thompson, Radley and Jackson got stuck into each other all night, both the forward packs had a real go at each other, never thought I say I enjoyed a game between the Dogs and the Chooks, I think I might of been secretly hoping the dogs got up, never thought I‘d say that either.

Jim Dymock, 1995 grand final.

 

[Brissie Kid]

Lol! Iro's is funnier by far! But if were 2021, the refs would probably penalise for obstructions.

I must admit that I didn't se the game (no Foxtel where I am at the moment) I just listened to it on ABC radio. The callers made it sound pretty dull and spent a lot of the time talking about mistakes and how badly the chooks were playing. You can sometimes get a very entertaining match when both teams are equally inept but are trying their best.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Probably part of the famous Walker Bros revolutionary coaching blueprint. Dominate time with the ball. Gotta admit I'd love to see them get a coaching job in NRL, can't imagine any club having the guts though.

 

[47MVEagle]

I don't know why he couldn't just take the tackle & take an age to get up & play it like most players do.

Or kick it into touch.

Or run it into touch.

ABC callers, called it right then.
Worst I've seen the rorters play last few years even the Storm demotion wasn't as bad.

Send that one to the Fox lab. That’ll test them.

 

[The Who]

You may not be able to buy love but you can buy a backline:
Next season the Dogs will have Dufty, Naden, Burton and Ado-Carr, plus Cotric. On paper that is an extremely competitive backline.

I’m expecting Vaughn to show up there as well.

 

[Shoe1]

Observations warriors v sharks:

shoulder charges are legal again

forward passes are ignored.

what ground is it? Henson Park? It makes Brookie look like Stadium Australia.

How slow are both teams.
