Can’t believe they didn’t penalise that.

There was a penalty against the Titans for hitting Nico hynes a fraction of a second after he passed it on Friday night, but when the game is on the line the whistle gets put away.
Refs really need to work on consistency

Refs have been penalizing head clashes for a few seasons. Deemed reckless contact to the head.

Except when the panthers do it

 

[BroncosHQ]

Dead-set could get away with murder as long as it's just a headclash.

Especially when players are put on report and penalised by the bunker for hitting a player late... and that doesn't even need to be the head.

 

[BroncosHQ]

Even if it is a 'head clash' which it isn't, it is still clearly late.

 

[Silvertails]

Bad luck Warrior boys , but well played , bit unlucky there at the end to not have one of those kicks go over.

They'll get their usual Monday morning apology from Annesley over the high shot not penalised.

 

[BroncosHQ]

Melbourne concede a quick ptb and then a try ... Bellamy will be fucking fuming!!

 

[BroncosHQ]

That wasn’t even a proper play the ball though. Good try from Tigers though

 

[Silvertails]

Great quote from an unlikely source. Corey Parker on the difference between the Panthers and the Broncos: "When the game is on the line, the Panthers walk through the fire."
Maybe we should be lighting a few fires down at Brookvale.

I’m glad you mentioned Parker. I think his bias towards anything Qld had him as a sideline commentator. But it seems he has worked on that and finds himself in the Fox box now as a genuine commentator. He doesn’t go all troppo like some others. Makes some very good points throughout the game ( although he did say the Warriors had to front load their energy today).

And he doesn’t stop mentioning a bunker stuff up ( the Salmon/Martin one). Blocker did his usual throw away line of " but anyway we play on". Parker continually asked, "how is that cleared?".
Until the producers in his ear, telling him to tow the bunker line.

 

[BroncosHQ]

Really poor attempted tackle from Katoa.

 

[BroncosHQ]

And NAS... one of the causes of the quick ptb, that then didn't move from marker, is off and up the tunnel... did he get hooked... most likely via a HIA of course

 

[Silvertails]

Can't wait to hear the excuses from the NRL over the bunker clearing the late head contact on Martin.

It’ll be an Annersley " yes, we got that one wrong, next question…".

Or blaming Martin somehow

 

[Christchurch_Warrior]

Great tackle!

 

[Silvertails]

Hughes may well blow up at his supports there ... but he's the one who passed it straight into his own decoy runner. That was a poor pass IMO.

 

[BroncosHQ]

How do the Tigers manage to knock the Storm off their game?

 

[BroncosHQ]

Storm give away a deliberate penalty ... old mate gets a face palm because he refused to let go ... so he starts a fight to get a penalty.

Fucking cheating Storm grubs

 

[BroncosHQ]

Why was there a six more in there?

Storm got a quick ptb ... how has a ruck infringement occurred, but they still get a quick ptb

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Or blaming Martin somehow

"What you fans are too thick to understand is...."

That's the usual.
