Re: 2024 Round 5 v Eels: Game Day

Timoko. That was one of the best games I've seen by a Raiders centre. Incredible stuff. Huddo. That was his best game since he got picked for Origin. Hopefully it's give him his mojo back. Savage and Schiller on the wings shows what pace can do. Savage was faultless tonight which was pleasing. Schi...

Re: 2024 NRL Round 5: Teams and Game Day

It's better than a lot of rugby league content, but that isn't saying much. Matty's round wrap and his very brief analysis isn't bad. He knows his stuff.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 5: Teams and Game Day

I took Robbo's whinging more as a dig at the lack of consistency. He's not wrong on that.

But if the MRC or judiciary is looking at video of examples of a variety of high shots that swinging arm is the template for what should be a send off.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 5: Teams and Game Day

Actually now watching the presser I kind of agree with him. I'm not suggesting it shouldn't be a send off but he is right in saying that plenty of high tackles like that are just a penalty or sinbin.

I think Hudson-Young has drifted away from what made him successful and reverted to that guy that debuted - the one that looked for the big play, easy option too often. Trying to strip the ball every tackle and get away with it. The niggle, the hands in the face, on the ball, trying to be a pest. Wh...
