Other Games [Round 19, 2022]

Gee the NRL must be delighted their beloved Roosters are back jn the eight.

I can’t think of anything more boring. Looking at the eight now I can’t see who is Gina drop out. For us. Parra?.

Agree fully Bozo, I used to hate them same as the cheats but there young guys are going so well and I actually like watching them, especially last night
I have to confess, I’m in the same basket. I never would’ve thought I’d have a soft spot for them, but as you said, their young blokes are playing so well. And Reynolds is the conductor. It’s the sort of football that is bringing the crowds back.
 
Ponga copped a high shot, was ruled out of the match with concussion thus limiting Newcastle's attack by 90%, yet Lodge stayed on the field. I understand that the high shot was little more than a slap across the chops but it did take away Newcastle's main hope of a win.
You can bet the NRL will start tweaking rules to punish the perpetrator to try to make similar incidents less impactful for the team that loses a player due to the head knock.
 
Totally schooled our captain in every department.
But but but..he’s the amazing Chez, who has been grossly misreprepresented by haters. He dragged Qld over the line and is tired after that Herculean effort. Let him relax a little while his club needs him and put in a dismal losing effort

I thought the same because it was Lodge involved but replays showed it was likely Ponga's head bouncing off the ground after falling that concussed him.

It's happened to him earlier this season & I genuinely wonder if it might be self-inflicted in his effort to make the initial high contact look worse than it actually was by dramatically falling/throwing himself to the ground.
