Pick Your Team Titans v Warriors - [Round 25, 2025]

I think he kicks it where Websters game plan dictates long and into the corners.
But I have sort of noticed that too his kicks are a bit off sometimes.
He succumbs to pressure I am guessing and doesnt stay cool like N Cleary.
The league experts on here could tell us whether cracking under pressure can be changed maybe.

You are being a bit harsh there. He is not as cool as Nathan Cleary (the master of cool) but generally has a good boot which is high and long enough for Dalin to get under. This has resulted in penalties for being tackled in the air.

Websters comments on Jackson Ford is probably the first time I've seen him agitated.

He was pretty similar when Kaufusi only got a 2 week ban for snapping Laban's leg. Where they gave out the ban before asking about Laban's condition, which is different to the normal procedure for the first time where they do ask as that factors into the grade.

Is your head screwed on?

Largely.

Okay, I admit I was burning the NRL Team's and Team's fan's dream a bit too early, there.

Still maintain winning the NSW Cup is - at this stage - the more likely of the two outcomes of winning the NSW Cup or winning the NRL Premiership. Always assuming we can only have one, of course. And who says we can't have both, as unlikely as it might look at 7.30PM Friday 22 August 2025?

The argument against punishing the Offender based on the Injury to the Victim has been that it encourages the Victim to Scream For The Priest And Mama For My Last Rites And To Hold Me Hand 'Cos I'm Dying Ma at the mere touch of the Offender's hand to his nose. But I'd argue that approach should only apply to the referee, who, like their rugby union counterpart, whatever the actual injury to the Victim that's provable at the time, now seems shit-scared of giving a Red Card because It Ruins The Entertainment. For some reason that has always and will always beat me...

And answering your actual point about the Judiciary, which me first paragraph don't, I think Intent should always trump Outcome. For example, if there's an Offender that makes a head-high tackle that smacks but doesn't break the Victim's jaw and the Victim subsequently loses his footing and collapses on his ankle, breaking it, how much was that the Offender's fault?
