2019 Official NRL Thread (Spoilers/Rumours/Game Results/Discussions etc.)

The Bulldogs sent DAMIEN COOK to the Rabbitohs and opted to keep Lichaa at the end of 2015 (he played 8 or so games for the bulldogs and everything you see him do now was displayed back then). One of the stupidest moves ever in rugby league.

Dragons were the first ones to let Cook go after making his NRL debut in 2013 and playing 2-3 games.

Yep hindsight is a wonderful thing although Hooker hasn't been our issue to be fair.

Cheers

Hope this link works. Lowbrow humour but classic none the less.

Nathan Brown wont be coaching Newcastle next year.

That was a really good game of footy to watch. Dogs have some solid foundation for 2020.

Thoughts on Brown shoulder charge? Suspension?

Rubbish play... potentially looking at 3 weeks and deservedly so.

The Eels were fairly pedestrian tonight but hopefully it’s the loss we needed to have leading into the Finals.

Reimis Smith headbutt has got to be one of the more stupid plays I've seen.

There is a scenario where the Bulldogs makes the finals, but first and foremost must win against Cowboys and Broncos to even have a chance.

Definitely suspension.

Headbutt should get time too.

 

[Brendan_B]

Both knucklehead plays. Good to see the referees take action that was consistent. The Dogs have defended really well in the last 6 weeks, if a couple of other results during the year went their way they would be in the 8!

Headbutt was nothing, shoulder charge was ugly.
Both f'n dumb plays, but one is gunna be very costly.

What is wrong with this picture?

 

[Brendan_B]

Sivo has kneed Smith to the head as retaliation for the headbutt and there was no Bulldogs penalty as well as no concussion protocol....

Don’t think there’s anything wrong with the photo.

It doesn’t look like he quite connects unfortunately...
It is perhaps a bit of a stretch by a one-eyed Eels supporter... but given that Smith was not looking at, or going for the ball and Sivo catches the ball and likely would’ve remained inside the touch line without Smith’s early rule breaching contact - it definitely constitutes a penalty and perhaps even consideration of a penalty try...

Smith barely touched him... shouldn't have made an impact on Sivo.

Don’t worry mate, I am very one (green) eyed. In the Roosters match a couple of weeks back, I was adamant the Tupou / CNK contest should have been a Canberra penalty and not a Mitchell try. This was despite several impartial friends telling me it was a fair contest!!

Just blame the Storm, everyone else does
