Josh, are u trying to get ur blog tally up? fekkin useless contribution much like anything else u touch.....shithouse and pointless much like those despicable eels.
Either love him or hate him but Paul Gallen was 100% correct with his exchange with the refs at half time. I can't for the life of me remember the refs name but he always sticks up from Melbourne and he always laughs off the concerns brought to him by captains opposed to his refereeing.
Match Officials: Referee – Gerard Sutton; Assistant Referee – Gavin Badger; Touch Judges – Russell Turner & Peter Gough; Video Referees – Bernard Sutton & Luke Patten.
Thanks ParramAddict! Gerard Sutton! That's the arrogant guy! Never consistent and always self indulgent. Has his favourite teams which Parra aint one of them!!
Melbourne are all about the ruck. They always have been, they base their entire game around slowing down the ruck when in defence and being quick in attack. Cronulla didn't focus enough on that aspect and got burnt.
If I was a coach playing against Melbourne I'd allow my players to give away penalties for laying in the ruck all day. When Melbourne get slow play the balls they are a very, very ordinary side.
Thing is they dont get penalised for slowing down the ruck where opposition teams do, whenever Sharks laid on them even half the time storm would, the refs pinged them for it
"I think Braith respects Ryles as a coach and what he's doing at Parra and obviously believes Lomax did the wrong thing, listened to poor advice and brought this all upon himself and did the wrong thing to Parra"
"I'm putting last year down to the new style of attack and defence that had been implemented, as well as relying on Volkman at half. It was a disatorous 1st half without doubt, but I can't see that happening again. We should be much better prepared…"
