[greeneyed]

Did the Storm win reptar?

54-20 Storm

Milne in the bin on full-time. Diving below the knees

That really was low. I do really enjoy seeing the Rabbitohs smashed.

[President Clinton]

Yeah, looks like a 3 or 4 year rebuild as well. Might be a few lean years for Jack to finish his career.

Yeah, I don’t think Cook or Walker have much longer to go tbh. They have pretty weak middles and slow backs. Latrell is unfit…could spiral pretty quickly.

It really is enjoyable

The kick off will die. It's not safe.

All the dinosaurs say they just need to tackle low. However... that might've worked when Blocker Roach or Glenn Lazarus trundled back in the good ole days. Today all props have footwork, a bit of late footwork on a player going low and the get their head in the way if knees, hips and their own players too.

I don't like it but i fear itll
disappear.

There is a stat , something like its 3% of concussions.

If you stop the kick-off then you need to stop other areas that cause concussion.

It may only be 3% but I think it would account for a chunk of the Cat 1 concussions.

Interesting it seems to occur more towards the start of games and off the kick off rather than kick returns. I am guessing the less fatigue there is the, the faster the runs and a larger impact.

I just hope they have a proper look at it rather than just making a change.

The nfl is implementing a radical kick off change this year to deal with the high impacts of kick returns

Feels like the nrl won’t be far behind them
Kick off from half way, 12 defenders (minus kicker) line up on the 30. Ball has to go beyond the 20, and defenders can’t move until the ball is fielded

Shortens the amount of momentum both sides can get. Removes the off the back fence stuff when dudes are coming off 30 metre run ups into each other
Could potentially even extend the 7th tackle set to kick offs. Caught on the full in goal is a 7 tackle set
So the goal would be kick high and land it between 20-goal line and now it’s a 10-15 metre return

Definitely a half baked idea. Haven’t thought it through much at all
I might be cooking or just cooked
Let me know!

[reptar]

Did the Storm win reptar?

I believe they did yesterday. I’m not sure about next week, though.

[-PJ-]

Jack took a pay cut to win a premiership..ouch.

I bet he plays Origin.

[-PJ-]

Didn’t Souffs get a new defensive coach just last week ?

And they get 50 put on em.

David Furner ?

“Furner isn’t out there missing tackles” I’m sure someone will say.

We had 32 tries yesterday in 3 games plus the restarts . Also a few long drop outs . 1 incident.

I don't think we need to ban the kick off. They introduced the short kick off rule to help reduce the kick off. That's failed.

Maybe modify it somehow . Suli incident was caused by 3 defenders , upright , it was Sua hitting Suli that more than likely knocked his head into JWH.

I agree look at it properly , just don't knee jerk.
We know what the topic is for the week in NRL360 , kick off's and South Sydney

[bonehead]

Suli showed the worst technique since SBurgess

Gee, the Dragons score.....wow

[BJ]

I didn’t know Souths played Melbourne last night.

I turned the TV on to see the Storm playing a bunch of male strippers in cartoonish Navy themed fancy dress or that The Village People stuffed up the number of members in their group and the mix of outfits.

He's been doing that crap his entire career. Someone will be seriously injured by him soon.

I think the game needs to be more comfortable with alienating people who don't like heavy collisions.

Accidents happen in contact sports, bad luck. It was a head clash between two big blokes.

Stop ruining it for the audience by constantly trying to appeal to "mums".

[-TW-]

It's nothing to do with mums, if they change the rules to avoid collision it's so they don't get their **** handed to them in a lawsuit

Just wait until he gets “Latrell-y” back

[zim]

That's a spear

[greeneyed]

That should be a send off.

[reptar]

Yeah. That’s a send off. Or at least used to be.

[zim]

That should be a send off.

Must need Lane to go off in a wheelchair for a sendoff these days.

[Dr Zaius]

That try was classic Colonel

[Dr Zaius]

All Sanders again there. Gutho and Sivo really had nothing to do there. He is a magician.

[T_R]

Yep, this Sanders lad is interesting.

[Mickey_Raider]

Righto I’m all in on the Colonel. If he doesn’t renege, consider me excited.

[Dr Zaius]

The presence of the Colonel on the left there drew enough attention from Manly to open up space down the right side. I've got him down as three try assists so far.

[Dr Zaius]

Despite my hyperbole, that was a very solid start from a teenage half in an under-siege side. We've got a class young spine signed.

He 100% looks ready. Fog to hooker in 2025.

That's the first time I've seen The Bunker call up an awarded try and then confirm it.

[BJ]

What was Sivo thinking????

[reptar]

What was Sivo thinking????

Not a great deal, apparently

[Dr Zaius]

What was Sivo thinking????

Smash it?

[T_R]

Sanders' defence falling apart a little. Three tries through him now.

I thought that was more than incidental contact on junior Paulo’s head.
