We should hear whether he's charged by this afternoon.stormfan2010 wrote:We're off to the big dance lady's & gents
I'm sweating on Bill, anyone know when the Mrc hand out the charges ?
A great team effort across the park.
Um ok? We weren't clinical at all in the second half. Bellamy will absolutely not be happy about that.TC wrote:What do you want? They did what they needed to do, no one got badly hurt and Gallen had a cry on the sideline. All good from here.blazza18 wrote:Pretty ordinary second half. Bellamy will be spewing. Another GF though. Top work from the boys tonight.
Lewis is magnificent.SunshineCoastStormer wrote:Terrific performance especially in the 1st half.
Billy was immense and I it was certainly not one of the typical “shoulder charges” and if there is no penalty nobody talks about it. Fair play to Shane Flanagan in his honest assessment of it. Hope is arm coming around gets him off.
Lots of other excellent displays - Forwards stood up which is where the game was won and Munster/Croft controlled things well.
Matt Prior is an absolute sh1thouse - late third man in, grapple tackles and standing on people’s hands.
Luke Lewis on the other hand is a magnificent servant of the game and played tirelessly with a corker calf for most of the 2nd half. One of the Cronulla players worthy of respect.

The difference is the media outcryblazza18 wrote:I don't think anyone should be concerned about him missing the game fwiw.
I think what Slater did was the right thing to do but technically probably a shoulder charge. The NRL has shown to be pretty consistent in not charging similar tackles this season so my real problem with this is why is this tackle any different?
It's actually becoming a little more divided. Depends what state the journalists are from!Deadpool wrote:The difference is the media outcryblazza18 wrote:I don't think anyone should be concerned about him missing the game fwiw.

There is a Ponga one from early in the season where it's the same thing.yourhero wrote:There is quite a similar tackle by Waqa Blake doing the rounds on social media. If anything, Blake looks to cock his shoulder a lot earlier than Slater.
Blake wasn’t suspended, charged or even penalised. The commentators were blowing each other talking about the brilliant try-saving effort.
