This is what happens when you call it straight down the middle.

QLD will still win

Nah, O'Neil was never stopping the try even if he focussed on the ball not Jennings, bit like a bad defensive read on a Shepard.

Pull yer head out. GI had stopped moving forward and was looking backwards when Dugan ran into him. If GI wanted to charge him, Sutton would be calling for a bodybag, not a penalty.

There you go QLD.

That should be an 8 point try for foul play after a try.

Of course they will. Was it ever in doubt?

But he shouldnt have to make the read - jennings shouldnt be there and oniell shouldnt have to worry about making the read. No try by the rules.

Moylan embarrassed. Poor bastard.

How about Fifita, what a dumb cunt. Sure, Cooper was a major knob end throwing the ball at Moylan after he scored, like, what a total dick on debut, but seriously, Fifita, way to wake the giant.

He threw the ball in Fifitas face, which started it. He should have been sin binned as well.

It doesn't matter if he focussed on him. If he was inside O'Neill wouldn't have had to focus on him.

Eh? Fifita was 20m away.

Lol Fifita is an absolute munter. Brain explosion. I want the blues to win this one but that won't help.

Yeah a mate I use to work with lives up on the Central coast. I have no TV just net. Whats the crowd like ? No Worries PTY LTD was giving out tickets like water.

Who's the ref ? Doesn't he know Cameron decides who gets penalised and when ?

Moylan sorryb

Now let's watch how a decent team scores points against 12 men.

I agree he didn't go completely through with it but he clearly braced his arm and turned his head so as not to break his own nose. If he was pulling out of a legitimate tackle, he wouldn't have had his right arm braced to his body, it would have been out by his side, cause that is what a legitimate tackle is. Usually when players pull out of tackles they end up giving the hugger a little cuddle. That was a clear shoulder to the head whether he meant it or not. Don't get upset at me about it, I'm just reporting the irrefutable facts, nothing more nothing less.

Nah, try by the rules and by the score board.

Fuck me, Farah has to go.
