  • I'd like to see it but if they send people off for hard hits then the game is proper f-cked.

    WATCH: NSW Cup send off sparks scuffle and intense debate
    Phillip Makatoa was left in awful pain after a late shot from Parramatta's Wiremu Greig in the NSW Cup. Did it deserve a send…
    • Thanks for posting this mate. I couldn't reloacte it.

      • No problem 

  • I am trying to re find the video but it has disappeared off my facebook.  It was marginally late, but the refs reason is just laughable.  Jordon Rankin was pleading with him that it is a contact sport.

    • There is a video of the tackle on reddit at r/nrl.

       

  • The tackle had force in it. Really, isn't that the idea?

  • Great hit! Very harsh to be sent off for that, it was only slightly late imo, great tackle!

    • His head is down, wouldn't even realised he passed it.

"Walker at 6 makes us weaker. He is so important as a link man. Doorey you do not want to complicate his role. He does pass out the back in block plays at times but his job is simple get one on one and make metres running off the back fence."

Eels V Dragons 3-2-1

What a sea sawing game, with the referee really trying to influence the result. Some desperate digging deep in defence and working under fatigue coupled with some very very bad ball play by the Dragons has let us take the 2 points. So much more…
