Cleary's ankle broken in preliminary final, with foul play (hip drop tackle). Stretchered off. Ref sends the Knight off because of extreme risk/damage.
Simmonson's ankle broken in Round 5, with foul play (mid air tackle). Stretchered off. Ref sends the Tiger to the sin bin for 10 mins, after telling bunker "it looks bad".
Luckily there is not a double standard where some teams are take care of and others have to fend for themselves. Sarcasm emoji's galore.
Double standard or the new standard?

Blaize T injury about 2m before he is tackled. Obviously send Ponga off.
New standard
Forget Talagi for 2027, Achilles tear it seems. Not back til mid year 2027.
Given his lengthy recovery into next year, poses an interesting conumdrum for Penrith. How do they move him on for 2027 to make way for Jett Cleary and some cap space to retain his big brother.
The repercussions from those 2 injuries today are HUGE.
Knights 16-0 in second half fo win when down 12 to 13 players is called sweet justice for the double standards
Agreed
100% correct Daz. Whilst I feel for Cleary if it was one of ours its 10 in the bin if that.
One thing of note to me. This is the roster that Peter O'Sullivan built. And they did it today without Saifiti and D Brown. No real weaknesses and everyone gave 100%. To do this with 12 men against the Riff is unbelievable.
Why we didn't give MON the bullet and grab POS when he was available reflects badly on those in charge. If you go after Bennett, then you also go after some like POS.
Just watched the replay in slow motion. It was his leg jammed under the tackle and then pushed back by the other tackler that broke the leg not the tackle itself. The player should challenge this.
And how must the Titans be feeling right now after sacking Holbrook?!
Seeing Newy go all the way pisses me off about how poorly this Parramatta club is run. They go from Spooners on the verge of being Premiership. Yet we are here on the verge of a rebuild every fucking year. Fuck Mark cnt O'Neil out of the office and pay him what he wants because of him that bald cuck has costed us years of wasted potential on many players and setbacks of not getting the players we want because our incompetent Office has stood there and be right about everything in the club.
