So it was Ken Laban the main caller? never heard the Sky coverage.

Ken Laban is an awesome commentator.

Yea he was.

Monty B was the other one and Honey was sideline commentator

Ken isnt too bad when commentating rugby but was bit dull last night

I don't believe you

Your tv must be shit too

It was Ken bro. You're grumpy aren't ya? Did you forget to Iron your undies?

I thought

Also, I try not to complain about the officiating, but there were some shockers...

The other one where TT had hit the ground and Herbie lifts and body slams him deserved a penalty as well.

I thought this year overall the officiating standard had improved, but this round it's regressed massively for some reason. There was a blatant knock on in the Dragons Roosters game which led to a try in the next tackle that everyone on the field except the ref saw.

Also cannot fathom how Riki and Hayes got a grade 2, but Critter and Burton escaped with fines for at minimum equal, but arguably even more deliberate and dangerous plays in the Dogs Broncos game.

And on the commentary, it's sky sports that need to uppercut. They should be looking for the commentary talent, it just seems they think anyone with knowledge of a sport can commentate, it's far more nuance than that.

My problem was the camera people, ugh that was hard to watch here in Australia. Glad I'm going to the Eels game live so I don't have to worry about it.

NRL Judiciary: More Dragons drama as Leilua faces ban

Dragons forward Luciano Leilua has been charged with a Grade 2 Dangerous Contact offence for his late shot on Roosters halfback Sam Walker and faces a week on the sideline.

Does this mean dal and leka arent getting charged?

Last night was an old-school arm wrestle where both teams defence cancelled each others out. To keep an attacking team like the Phins scoreless in the second half was some effort. Jacko ford with 57 tackles and another 80mins was immense.

On a side note, it’s good to see both centres linking up with their outside men. Big credit to RTS and Ali who have had their own struggles in this department

Correct. CHT was the only player sighted and will be fined

 

[Rick O’Shay]

Kind of cute Herbie thinks he's the one hard done by too...

I think it's the AFL shorts he wears

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

Give SJ a full time gig for our home games sky sport… Not sure if that would work as he makes the occasional appearance on fox leauge though

At least he should be leading the panel, not Laura.

I would hire SJ, R Barnett, and i know this is really out there but I would Head Hunt Paul Kent.

 

[sup42]

I've seen a few people claiming he played averagely last night.

Did these people notice how many hit ups our backs were taking?

But yeah, he deserves his flowers for that clutch moment.

Man our spacing and formation was shit around Boyd, guys constantly standing too shallow and crowding him (and CHT) making them too easy to swamp with the Dolphins rushing Defence.

It’s really confusing how the bunker will go back a couple of plays to find a penalty against us but can’t for a clear professional foul? Also, the disallowed Leka try should have been a penalty try as Averillo didn’t contest with both arms. Something the NRL have cracked down on but Klein missed that as well?

Honestly thought he was ok

Much better than Halligan and was it one of the Ropati brothers back in the day.

Didn't think it would be such an issue. Did he hurt people's feelings and disable the volume function?

 

[WAH MAN]

Its the wildest 10 seconds the more you watch it. Like the upside down grapple, Ali wanting to fight, the ref saying play on and the deliberate penalty and then leka wanting to fight again all for just a 6 again

If the match officials did their jobs correctly or even correctly enough. None of that shit would have happened.

Oh Kennedy for sure lost control of that match.

You can't accuse him of being bias, you CAN accuse him of being shit.

 

[Cces]

as Averillo didn’t contest with both arms.

Is this now the rule for both attacking & defending teams? If it is, I personally think the defending team, at least, should have the ability to deliberately knock it out out bounds like they can with grubbers

 

[Buzz Killington]

He also doesnt get back 10 before making his second tackle. At minimum that's a penalty, with the time left in play it could be justified as a professional foul.

There are so many things wrong in that passage. Dangerous play, offside and professional foul. But the ref just calls us to go back and play the ball!

 

[Damo]

We’ll see. Don’t go into bed ridden depression if it happens though

It may happen. It doesn't change the fact he probably wanted a picture with the milestone man

I know I couldn't ref a professional game. But if it was my job I'd expect myself to get it right and have the help of the touchies, the bunker and........






The crowd.
