Post Match NRL 2020 - Round 19 - Raiders vs Warriors Post Match Discussion

Any thought on possible charges?

I have Rapana for a shoulder charge to head & Papali for a hair pull & perhaps Bateman for a hair pull as well as the Bunker for incompetence

But as they ain’t Warriors perhaps there will be none

I saw Rapana shoulder charge on 3 separate occasions. Is Ricky teaching them to play dirty? Coz i dont recall Rapana ever playing like that.

Wonder if anything will come of Rapana and his blatant shoulder to the head of Curran.... if only he didn’t injure his own team mate in the process. Grub.

No charge for Rapana

The only charges from the game are Papali’i for hair pull (fine) and Murchie for careless high tackle (fine)

How Murchie’s tackle when the player slipped just as he was going for the tackle is deemed worth of a charge and Rapana’s shoulder charge isn’t (nor his kick of Papali’i hand) is beyond belief

Was thinking that myself brother.

Rapana doing a few grubby acts was a strange sight to see.

Is Jazz this generations, Monty? Is that a criticism or compliment? You decide.

Suppose. Both penalty magnets. Monty could actually throw down tho....and everyone knew it, so they knew better than mess with him (Steve Reardon the exception).

Whole hearted player but hardly intimidating for the opposition pack when Jazz fires up....always reminds me of a midget getting held at arms length swinging wildly for some reason.

Watching the fallout of the Ref from our game yesterday is making me trip balls.
All the media, Sticky now NRL 360 saying how bad the Raiders were dudded.

Fuck me dead am I being a one eyed Warriors supporter when I say we have had these kind of matches where we been ripped off the same if not worse and not a squeak out of the media etc.

I’m sure the last time we saw that might’ve been Kata or even Hurrell

Kata in the open field with the big fend on the fullback was a sight to see. Just don't expect him to draw the fullback and pass.

Nah im with you. We hardly get the rub of the green. Andnsomw. Of our dominant tackles get met with release calls pretty quickly.

dominant tackles get met with release calls pretty quickly.

Not that it has anything to do with the result as I think we lost the game, but in general I gotta say thats one area of NRL reffing that is sooooo inconsistent, I dont know if half of the refs know what one actually is. Possibly they have never actually tackled somebody in their life is one reason.

It's absurd a team gets penalised for excellent tackles, they earn the right, thats why it is called dominant and not just tackled.

What should get penalised is players dragging players around sideways after completing the tackle, in effect to cause a slow PTB, that never gets penalised.

They need an annual game against the refs to remind them of what really impedes a game.
