The Football (all sorts) Thread

How Evans got a grade 1 charge for hitting someone in the head with a football and Burgess got a grade two (loading exists too, I know) for throwing a water bottle in the general direction of a player stumps me too. Both should be missing two weeks for stupidity.

I can kind of understand Evans, he had thrown the ball at player down injured being treated by the trainer.. that is pretty poor form (even if the player was not really injured) but two weeks for burgess tossing a bottle in his direction.. stupid yeas but hardly worth time off..

both should of been fines for contrary conduct


I really wish they would use the sin bin more... 5 minutes 10 minutes that brawl really could of benefitted from it especially third of fifth man running in from the other side of the field...

Funny thing is, every fan says the exact same thing, the players and coaches and football writers discuss it often but the NRL wants to pretend it isn't an option.

Personally I like the 5 minute bin, but I would also support an Ice Hockey style 10 minute bin, but players can return immediately if the opposition score. 4-6 points is a fitting punishment for a team who perform a professional foul or repeated infringements.

Never thought I'd say this but - GO THE RAMS (even though they're in the same division as us and now we're one game behind)!!

49ers back in black tomorrow

You gotta be happy with the way they went this year though. The future looks bright for the Doggies. I'm rooting for the Crows for the rest of the finals.

HA, not quite. Reality is starting to set in for a few people 49er fans are calling for his head over on the international forums. Hopefully he can bounce back from this because I do actually want to see him make it.
