Gamesmanship fellas

[Doogie]

Excluding Elliott obviously having one too many head knocks and needing to retire to maintain his mental health, we lost this due to Hodgson being smarter.
1) If Thompson stays down and pretends his arm is in 2 pieces, guarantee Hodgson is off for 10 and we get a free interchange. Who cares if he comes back on 30 secs later. FFS these dicks claimed a HIA for a sore cheat so anything is a goer...
2) holding down Avo to get a 6er and them scoring off the subsequent set.

Can live with not being good enough but not being smart enough....

We don't have many players, if any, with a winners mentality. A lot of them are dumb and scared.

That chicken wing was legit...he’ll be suspended for that for certain, agree Thompson should have stayed down

I was thinking that Papalii was going to stay on because the ref kept going over to see if Katoa was going to stay on or go off. You are right about Thompson though & Hodgson SHOULD have been binned for the Cameron Smith tackle. I think that because they Raiders already had had a player binned & one sent off he didn't do it. If those other 2 events hadn't happened he would have been binned. How the Raider who Billy Slatered Cotric when he scored stayed on is beyond me.

BUT, this is the stupidity caused by a NLR Commission who only have 1 ex player on the commission. How do these morons with little knowledge of the game get such a big say on the direction of the game? They are a blight on the game themselves & need to be stopped.

Not only should he have stayed down, he should have given the ball to Averillo to kick the goal not the quick tap.... we lost by 2.

No dount we got screwed big time by the ref yesterday but we have two rookie halves and neither has a good long kicking game.
As a result we had no chance to turn around the glut of possession that Parramatta had.
With the new touch footy competition there is no way you can complete without the ball.

Barrettat least made the point about the lopsided six again calls and penalties.
