Its a joke. It was more a cuddle than a hit. Its spoiling our great game and I hope the managers in this meeting speak up!!!

Stop going to games until we get back to Rugby League how we know it, until then,the game won't be worth watching at all.

Maybe this is the first step towards it going to touch rugby .

They’ve got to as it can’t continue like this as it’s killing the game. Yet no doubt the RFL will blindly carry on and hide behind the player safety line.

Do these idiots not appreciate that not every late hit or high hit is intentional.

The game is getting ruined.

May as well watch Netball now. At least the darts is on the other side! Killing the game!

Iv'e switched over to the darts, i can't stomach this $h!t.

Cutting through all of the fashionable whinging… I think the quality of skill generally in this game is disappointing.. defensive decision making … fragility of tackle… set completion and loose passing .. all point to poor coaching… by comparison to last nights game between storm and Bunnies … this looks like a different sport.

Yep the difference in skill level and speed between the two competitions is enormous right now and it's only going to get bigger.

How did Price lose that?

Been the game, and I have no idea what that was for.

For a late hit.... even though Fonua knocked the ball on in the tackle. Absolite joke. We will never know if it costs us the game but I'm disgusted with it now.

I presumed he had given a knock on (which it was) but I don't see how it's a penalty.

The current rules are dreadful and need changing.

just seen the replay. Not a knock on....harsh call. The Jerry one last week is a shoulder charge, that from Fonua is a legitimate tackle attempt. It's a fast game and split seconds can't be judged like that.

Don't know, I fell asleep. The stench of the rugby knocked me out.

We shouldn’t be attacking the refs or the RFL, we should be attacking those greedy ex players who are wanting to sue the RFL.

I’ve read a few times now people calling for an organised boycott of attending a weekend of fixtures. This would hurt the clubs though. Magic Weekend would be better, although that’s not soon enough.

I know its like those greedy ex dock workers who got asbestosis or the greedy miners how cant breathe through lung disease, they got paid at the time



I've no issue with protecting players and stamping out head shots, last nights was neither and was just a straight out poor refereeing decision

Your post seems incongruent with your tag line?!?

Teams should agree between themselves that they play the first 40 minutes as touch, and then fall down, play the ball and then touch again. Can just say that they dont want to get a sin bin

Peet made a really good point though, that come the World Cup, are out players going to have become conditioned to pull out of tackles for fear of a yellow card, whereas the Southern Hemisphere are just flying in

Has there been any similar clampdown so far in the NRL?

Yes, there was a yellow in a game this morning they were all raging about. Late him, all sounds very familiar.

This. Well said

If you contact the ball you aren't late...simple as
