If there was any doubt Tramontana was the heir apparent to Joel Romelo, watch the Fiji and Italy game.

Fijian player tackled, Tramontana runs in with a swinging arm and then a punch.

Princess Jarrod Hayne runs in, scuffle breaks out, both sinbinned.

As both enter dressing rooms to be rested, Lady Jarrod Hayne mouths off, and the firey little nugget from the Dogs tries to push aside 3 officials to punch on with Hayne again.

...

In his past he's been suspended for 3 weeks, only to return, get sin binned for a minor issue, start a fight with an opposing player when sin binned, then mouth off at Kasey Badger (ref) and get sent off and suspended for 4 weeks for dissent.


Bloke could have a future in NRL and shows some talent, but if he doesn't control that fire, he risks burning every bridge of a future career.

Ennis needs to pull him aside for a chat on how to niggle right.
Fucking to right He's the evil lovechild of Romelo and Reynolds

It's a very fine line between being a competitive and smart player and being a loose cannon who can't control their aggression.

Whether people like what he's doing or not his current attitude makes it very unlikely that he'll see first grade.

Very true... In the 80's he'd be a star but he needs to realise this part of his game is useless.

Really, 3 pages on a player who is too small for the NRL. Being overly aggressive and super competitive doesnt limit your opportunity in the NRL. Look at lunatics like Carter who had many chances before throwing it away. If he had the ability he would have a contract.

No mate, in the 80's he'd be in hospital then working on the garbos for the rest of his life. Hitting some bloke laying on the ground with other blokes on top of him is a cowardly act not aggression. It's not whether what he did hurt the bloke it's the mentality of the individual that says "I can see a bloke laying on the ground who can't defend himself and I will give him one knowing he can't do anything about it" that speaks to his character.

Carter had issues with alcohol and drugs. Tramontana is just loose..

Seriously with the way hayne acts as a result of his ego, he deserves to be knocked the fuck out.

Like when Lamb took Hanleys head off?? Lamb's career really went downhill after that huh...

Its called a kidney punch, same thing as pressing on pressure points in the ruck, same as dropping forearms into throats, same as driving your head into an opponents head on the ground, same as using your knee to push off an opponent off the ground, same as you get the drift... Its a hard game with many cheap shots, yes his was stupid but don't single the bloke out when EVERYBODY does it.

As long as people aren't knocking each other out or putting each other in hospital for a long period then its a OK from me.
It's extremely physical and requires mental composure .
Eliminate the composure and the team Crumbles.

Cant believe how many people are upset over a bloody soft kidney punch.. Advise? Sure... Bag of cement, eat it, harden up.
Yh becuase punching a defenceless bloke being held on the ground is real tough.

Its so obvious you have never stepped foot on a footy field...
And it's obvious you're another thug, no wonder so many people hate our fans with people like you.
