I want it to be Melbourne vs Warriors tbh with Tohu Harris to get the Churchill in the winning side. I remember Ryan Girdler getting into him on the radio saying Melbourne will need to win the title for him as it's the last he will get now he's going to NZ lol
I can't see Warriors going far but we will see I guess

Shit ... Ponga out for Knights today, Watson back at 5/8.

Problem is, we need Knights to beat Sharks this week, as if Sharks win, Dragons drop to 5th and will fire up to get back 4th spot.
It also means we play Sharks next week with them trying to win back 4th...

Steve Matai was a big hitter, his technique was flawless. Grubpa has zero technique other than leading with the head.
Matai used to come from the side and dog shot people, he was a fucking pansy

I wonder if the lack of crowd impacts teams... I mean you see teams rise to occasion with the crowd behind them, but I wonder what it does when a team who are favourites turn up to play in big games to crowds of only a few thousand
The Roosters are used to that.It is like those junior games where mum dad and the grandparents turn up to watch little Johnny play. You know they say that two heads are better than one? Well ,in the Roosters case counting those two heads inflates their poor crowd figures even more. They are a very fickle bunch are those Roosters supporters but have a look at their crowd figures up until May this year

Sydney Roosters: 16,924. At the same time this year our crowds were better ;although that is overall ,not home crowds so that does not show a true reflection of their support at Allianz.
The teams they played at home Dogs, Knights, Warriors, Souths, Manly, Titans. The three highlighted sides always have a good representation at Allianz and that accounted for 44888 fans at the ground out of an overall total of 77767 an overall figure of 12961 average for home games. Our game against them attracted 12226.Have always been suspicious of their crowd figures having attended many games there.

and he's been sin binned twice for it, not like he hasn't been punished. leading with the head is not an issue, because you have to in driving tackles. He just needs to learn to get his head on the other side.

A sin bin not sufficient for the mess he has left those players in. Big punishment not.....

Any coach who cares two hoots about his players tackling technique and the problems it causes should have had it sorted. Robinson has had after all since 2013 as Napa's ONLY first grade coach to address it. Perhaps Robinson does not care enough to do so as he likes the aggression shown by Napa.He was not happy when he was binned for the incident earlier this year and commented in the positive when he was found not guilty of the charge leveled at him.

Napa is a train wreck waiting to happen and one day if this is not fixed he will find himself in extremely serious trouble. He launches himself like a jumbo jet taking off to hit hard and inevitably high in an attempt to prove his toughness and making a statement as such.

Look at the types of tackles which are now banned in the game and a lot of those were not intentional but accidental; nonetheless they are now a no go zone and with good reason. He has been the provider of some of them aka the shoulder charge and banned for them.

Remember the Qld player who died after a shoulder charge back in 2015 after contact cause arterial bleeding due to a rupture?. The transgressor, Francis Molo suspended for eight weeks and the Broncos themselves held accountable by the coroner who presided over the investigation for not addressing his tackling style after to the incident because Molo was suspended a further two times for the same offence of a shoulder charge.

In the NRL’s Laws and Interpretations Guide, it states: “A player is guilty of misconduct if he… when affecting or attempting to affect a tackle makes contact with the head or neck of an opponent intentionally, recklessly or carelessly.”

DYLAN Napa will miss three games if he takes the early guilty plea, and four weeks if he unsuccessfully appeals the suspension.

The NRL match review committee deemed his hit on Andrew McCullough on Saturday night warranted a grade-three charge for dangerous contact.
Napa knocked McCullough out when his head collided with the opponent’s jaw in a sickening incident during the Allianz Stadium fixture.

The tackle gone wrong looked eerily similar to one that flawed Broncos prop Korbin Sims earlier in the season, resulting in a broken jaw to the prop.

That Round 11 incident wasn’t punished and Napa said at the time that he had no intention of changing his tackling technique.

The NRL has sent a clear warning that his head-first style won’t be tolerated anymore.


Damn funny that the last time he used that type of tackle he broke a blokes jaw yet was not suspended. Once again the NRL being REACTIVE. Looks like thick-head will have to change his tackle style or pay further consequences. Watch the Roosters go into overdrive with this using the excuse that last time he was not punished for it and that the damage done this time around was less.
