NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 36 - At the going down of the sun

I could see a case for both sides staying on or being binned

Haas didn't lever himself off the ground, the momentum swung him around and one foot carried his own weight, but then he sat on the outstretched ankle, not really a hip drop per se, but still awkward.

Yeah, I tend to agree. I confess that I'm a Haas owner and a gump in understanding this kind of stuff, but as far as I could tell, Haas got swung around in the momentum of making the tackle and landed awkwardly for RCG. Don't think the way the tackle ended was his intention at all, for whatever that's worth.

Surely now he's a sell next week?

Might be a buy for the bye rounds with how cheap he'll be

I think Hands might have to be gone from my team. He has shown again he simply isn't a good scorer even if he gets minutes.

He isnt getting cited. Terrible call by the ref

My question has nothing to do with the hip drop.

Shaun Lane did definitely not hold Carty.

Spot on. Looked worse because RCG unfortunately got an injury. Haas didn't drop his weight to bring him down and I think common sense prevailed.

Mam's was the only textbook hip drop.

Excuse the ignorance but where does webcke rank

When I used to watch Oz vs GB I hated him

Hopgood wasn't even close to it

Dont stress so much mate. You’ve got it right with Walsh, take the wins you get

RCG potentially bad groin injury according to Fox

The Carty Party has officially come to a close tonight lads.

Player I have - not a hipdrop
Player I don’t have - classic hipdrop

Simples

I’d like to see him get minutes in a game where it’s not pissing down

RCG groin injury, Haas in deep shit

I didn't think Haas one was an issue at all. Just awkward tumble from a big ass dude

only behind Lazarus for me.

This is set up for Hodgson to come back on and bag a late try double.

I'd love to provide some intelligent commentary, but who the fuck knows what a hip drop is?

Also, Bourbon.

Since when?
