Should to be honest

I think Daly was right that Murray should’ve been sent off, can’t run 30 metres to have a bit of a cuddle when you aren’t in the 13 on the field. And that times 100 if you’re in a suit

Hilariously they were my top 2 trade-in candidates this week, then Chin. Now I have to sell Moses and find 2 different forwards

Great match though. Rugba leeg was the winner. Specifically NSW rugba leeg.

My mate who works for NRL said NRL are furious with both of them

QLD blaming the refs makes it even better!

I mean there’s not really a precedent but if it happened in park footy you’d be looking forward to next year

I'm sure they are. That said, count the number of maroon dogs who run in to support DCE before any support arrived for Luai. So reminiscent of the pack of Manly dogs who rushed to lay into Adam Blair at Brookvale.

There is no doubt that both Ola and Murray went to protect their team mate from a pack of dogs. I'm sure that wont be lost on the NRL either.

Not sure the “pack of dogs” defence is gonna hold up against the “19th man shouldn’t be getting involved in the game” argument.

Where does that logic end?

Haumole had as much right to join as Bazza in section 37 seat 16H

And Bazza can fucken go when he’s had a few sherberts to loosen up

I'm certainly not blaming the refs. We got smoked up the middle and we're slowing the play down at every opportunity. Klein probably helped us if anything. That forward pack isn't capable of winning a series.

Realistically speaking the melee is already on the sidelines, he's not rushed onto the field to get involved which is a send off. He's emptied the bench in a melee where everyone was getting involved.

It's not a great look for either player really, Haumole is very calm in his interaction and looks to be trying to calm it down. No different to trainers I don't think. Just not a good look.

Slap them both with some fines and call it a day.

It's not a defense I agree, but I was really pissed off with the number of Maroons who were "next men in". Dogs.

The ruck speed was disgustingly bad. It was clearly QLDs game plan to slow it down really badly, frustrating how many second and third efforts were let go. That being said it lead to some massive collisions which were exciting and to his credit he called it evenly both ways which was my biggest concern in QLD.

I'm over in Rwanda doing some training with local teachers, missed the game.
Just caught up on the forum commentary.
Only thing I can say is Up the Blues.

I'm sure Haumole can too, but fact is he, like Bazza, didn't.

You have to consider the consequences of Haumole/Murray getting involved, which were... nothing. There was already push and shove, nothing extra really happened, play on.

TBH I’m not sure Haumole did much but get stuck in the middle

But Murray ran a pretty significant distance to get involved and I think he’s in strife. That’s play on if you’re playing, but I think they have to set an example for guys coming from the bench

More ill-discipline from Souths players, standard really

11 fines I’m hearing and 2 suspensions Cam and Ola I hope it’s only a week

Murray felt like he was defending his team mates as Madge said in the presser it shows his much the group means to them all…. I’d rather Cam defend his team mate than be a pussy!

Anyway... pivot from Murray to AFB maybe?
