Very sad scenes with Morris. He was in bits. Could be career over

Cant see him coming back from that tbh

A couple of rather fortunate Eels players there.
Both should receive a number of games out but still on the field for the second half.

And I thought the refs in England were bad.
Very inept performance so far from the ref at the Cowboys Bronchos game.
Head high shots going unpunished and professional fouls not even getting binned.
Certainly favouring the Bronchos.

They certainly got away with a few decisions but what an enjoyable and entertaining game. Taumalolo looks back to his best. Thought in the first half Broncos looked half decent. Overplayed in the second half and let the Cowboys back in it. Broncos inexperience really shows at times they lack a few old heads.

Yes totally agree mate.
Not seen many boring games over there and a pleasure to watch the talent of the youngsters coming through.

Interesting weekend with the refs clamping down on any contact with the head accidental or otherwise. Quite a few cards dealt out. Fans going into meltdown over it.

Think this sort of purge on head tackles is overdue TBH. Looking at how claims for brain damage has played out in the NFL it was only a matter of time before the game needed to address it more firmly. I don't have a problem with it. It reminds me of the purge on the deliberate high shot that came in during the late 80s. That really cleaned up the game a lot. This is the next instalment.

Wonder if we will see a similar thing over here? It can't be far off I'm sure.

Yeah players getting sin binned left right and centre! A little OTT for me. I’ve seen some players getting ten mins just for the slightest glance to the jaw.

I think it'll settle down. This week wasn't as bad. Victor "the inflictor" Radley might be cooling his heels for a few weeks as he seemed to lose his cool.

Great game this morning between Warriors and Cowboys. Different gravy that. Young Walsh at fullback for Warriors will be world class

If Dufty ends up in SL, he becomes the best full back without even playing a game, unreal performance.

Absolutely class. Apparently it’s not easy for him to get an NRL deal as cap space difficulties for many

Some journalists are questioning his defence but he's a real live wire in attack. Easily good enough for any SL team.

Anyone see Origin ? what a performance that was from the Blues !! Simply world class RL.

Yeah it was. Made me nervous about England's chances in the world cup. Hopefully To'o and Luai will choose to play for Samoa.

If they're playing SOO, then haven't they chosen to represent Australia?

That NSW team would comfortably beat England/GB team. No doubt. The strike and athleticism of the backline was jaw dropping... Payne Haas looks like a freak of nature too..

You thought England had a chance before Origin 1 and 2??? Wowser

Where did I say that?

See above.

To clarify I thought we had very little chance and after watching the SOO it's clear we have absolutely no chance at all.

Hearing Andrew Fifita is in a bad way. Been put in an induced coma. Took a hit to the throat and couldn’t breathe. Thoughts with the big guy and his family. Fingers crossed that he pulls through

What a game that Panthers v Eels was. Exhausted just watching it! Disappointed the Eels are out but what a performance. High intensity game from minutes 1 to 80. I was thinking no matter who won that Melbourne will hammer the victors because that must have sapped every bit of energy out of all the players. Can't see Panthers getting fit enough to live with Melbourne by next week. Manly had a relatively easy passage through and I can see them giving the Bunnies a decent game. Great spectacle anyway! What a sport!

Yes fabulous match. RL at its finest
