Thomo eye gouge

[GDR]

I thought he was best forward on the field.. such a shame that sh!t happened

 

[Natboy]

Yh I think I was wrong, has looked a lot more physically dominant these last two weeks.

I know we don’t get on anymore but credit to you for having the balls to admit it

 

[TOTTO]

Even the Mole on twitter said the eye gouge is as clear cut as the Fox commentators are saying .

 

[Actros]

I'm not talking about this in particular but i hate how players make a big deal of things on the field then immediately start to back track when it gets serious.

Shaun Johnson's bite is another example, how many players end up going to the judiciary to help the player they accused.

I

Hope he doesn't get too long. Can you guys imagine this guy after a pre season and building into a season, playing at prop?

I thought he was great today. Piss poor missed tackle and an eye gouge but his ball carry was good. He DOES have great footwork, his leg speed is awesome and he covers the ground fast as fuck for a prop. Had 6 tackle breaks. Last week was offloading. He has shown in two weeks that he has all that you want in a top class prop.

A full pre season and he will be a beast.

Spot on !

I think that young Canberra player got 5 wks for his first eye gouge offence.

Which was a lot worse, on a player already on the ground. Apples and oranges...

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been reading out your comments to him, that you have posted on here, I told Luke you better to get your act together, so it’s all down to you, my friend
There was never any intent in that tackle today it was just careless and accidental, he’s not that kind player but what a soft shite that Tamou was crying to ref for a penalty

 

[CrittaMagic69]

I dont know if he'll ever be worth as much as we're paying for him, but there's plenty to like about him.

We should have signed Tamou. He would have been a perfect propping partner.

I feel far more at ease now that we've seen him physically match it with the opposition and I dare say if be was playing for the Panthers he would've absolutely carved us up.

Yes I wanted Tamou for a while, an experienced Premiership winner that still getsthe job done. At this stage I'd personally fuck Napa off at all costs and be content with a starting frontrow of Thompson/RFM.

Okay I'll keep talking shit until he becomes better than Taumalolo. Yes I also didn't see much in the incident, hand slipped up and maybe hung around a little too long so it didn't look the best... but there was defenitely no raking or gouging action.

Was it really that blatant? Ben Ikin was creaming himself over it but he probably had no idea where his hand was in the tackle.

Ikin also called so many other parts of the game incorrectly ..he is so self obsessed for a nobody

Completely forgot we had Napa lol.

He's absolutely useless, maybe he might find an extra gear in contract year? Lol

Nah hes cooked. I tried to say positive things about him this year but hes just meh.

I dont think hes even a good bench option anymore like when he was at the Roosters. Hes so slow and always gets held up in the tackle and dragged backwards. Terrible signing.

It’s about time players started tackling properly again. Then they wouldn’t be anywhere near the head. Personally, I a m sick of players hugging each other walking down the field. NRL rules committee please.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw it.

100%! What happened to them driving in hard with the shoulder to hurt the opposition.
Now its first and second man in to wrap up the ball and hopefully third to get legs to prevent post contact metres.
Works sometimes but when the opposition are fit and fast its just allowing them to walk down the field.
Hopefully with new coaching staff theres a new perspective. Love to see first contact going in hard every tackle with intent.

 

[flamebouyant]

Worth every cent. Need another tough forward next to him though.

Hopefully Ogden and Elliot can be those as well as Napa playing for his next contract.

I thought he was fantastic yesterday. That rag dole tackle was sensational stuff.
The scoreline was pretty accurate though, especially given we were missing Foran, Elliot, Tolman, Napa, Ogden, Lewis, Lafai, and then lost Okunbour. Sad way to finish the year.

It was a dead set reserve grade team out there bar Thompson. Hopefully that spurs Barrett into buy buy buy mode...

Exactly and Stimson, Doorey & Avo too. We also lost CHN. Panthers fans crowing they rested a few players too are overlooking the fact we had so many out of an already struggling team

I'm pretty sure the strength and conditioning coach we got from Penrith is actually their wrestling coach. Not sure how his role will work with us but if we could be as dominant in the tackle as Penrith then that would be nice.

Yh he falls into the defence and it absolutely kills me to watch it.
