Other games - Round 18, 2021

[HoldenV8]

This hasn't been a great game skill wise ... but its good to actually see a contest and not just another blowout.

 

[BOZO]

Young savage is so fast he makes breaks out of thin air

 

[Frogz]

Great result for us tonight, Canberra winning. Keeps us with a nice break on the rest

 

[BOZO]

Young Savage is playing with one arm . He is tough , he is skillful and he is super fast
The complete player

 

[Jerry1]

Been good savage.

Our wish has come true thanks to semi valemei whos speed left the sharks with no hope of stopping him from winning the game for the raiders

In close games speed triumph , Speed is King , Speed Kills !!!

Geez that ref was abysmal.

That was Cummins levels of officiating.

I agree and the good teams usually beat both their opposition and the refs

 

[Jerry1]

Probably best for us if the storm win the next one.

 

[cc eagle]

They're struggling !!

Just flicked over to the rugby, if you think there are issues with NRL officiating you should see what happened to Koroibete a few minutes ago

Worst decision ever

 

[Jerry1]

Can’t see us going with the storm....

 

[HoldenV8]

That situation happened again, this time with Newcastle.

Ponga copped a hit. They thought it would be a penalty so were taking him off for a HIA. Then ref says no penalty, just play the ball (Knights in possession, 4th tackle). So Ponga stays on ... until Melbourne get the ball back. Then suddenly, the Knights trainer wants the ref to stop the game so Ponga can actually come off. All designed so Newcastle wouldn't have to carry on without a fullback in position.

I hate HIA rorts.

Ponga seems easily rattled.
Not sure he will have longevity in NRL.

Just saw that on Twitter of all places. Seriously, to get sent for that the ref must have been Charles de Gaulle.

Failed his HIA didn't he?

The Knights did that to us at least 3 times when we played them.

Halted our momentum on tackle 2, rucking it out from our line.

Bending of the rules, at best.

That French cat needs to take up soccer. If the NRL aren't careful they will end up like Rugby. We weren't far off that in that farcical magic round weekend

I thought the NRL had turned the rules into a joke but they have nothing on Rugby Union.
Funnily enough, the Wallabies played better with 14 men for 75 minutes than they normally do with a full complement of players.
