Round 14 - Warriors vs Storm

[RobbieRoss]

Damn shame Welch is likely not backing up from Origin. Unfortunate his night ended so early.

Yep - Aaron Pene likely to get plenty of minutes this weekend against his future teammates

Munster now on report for a highly intelligent "kick" to Liam Martin

Such a disappointing act.

And Munster on report.
And Kaufusi looked dazed/head knock at one point.
Sigh...

[glennb]

...and yet nothing for Cleary intentionally kicking out & connecting with defender.

[blazza18]

He’ll cop a fine I think. Dumb play like the Latrell one awhile back. Cleary probs the same?

[sallymay]

Looks like Cooper will be playing first grade for a few more weeks then

[Scooter]

With an early plea Munster receives $1,150 fine.

Stupid thing to do, lucky he didn't get suspended. Although, it was more of a push off with his knee originally and not a lot of contact with foot.

[yourhero]

Yeah, it was dumb - but not really anything in it.

To be honest, I thought Cleary's one was a tiny bit worse but the Fox Sports press immediately wrote defensive articles about how Cleary's legs were being held, just trying to get him off and essentially the QLD player 'got what he deserved'

Followed by 6 articles about Munster's push with his shin...

[blazza18]

Yea Fox doing great work again looking for the clicks.

[six rings]

Munster and Grant will be very hungry to play on Sunday to put that debacle behind them.

[Insomniac]

Yeah, f**king typical biased reporting - apparently it was Arrow's fault that Cleary kicked out at him for holding onto his legs too long (also, it's void because Arrow is a known dirty player anyway), but a dog act from Munster to kick out at Martin for holding on too long (and Munster is a dirty player anyway)... and the NRL obviously agreed, not even fining Cleary. FMD.

[yourhero]

The tail wags the dog in the NRL. Always has. Probably always will.

Media individuals don't like something.
They start their public campaign.
Your average, idiotic RL fans swallow it all.
Fans aren't happy with the same issues they were told not to be happy with.
NRL reacts.
