Can’t agree with the commentary. That was deliberate, learn the rules you goose.

Touched the ref so he should miss a week like Wighton did

How is Reynolds not sent off for contact with the referee?

Penalty almost in front for the Dragons.

Dragons 12-11 with four to go.

I thought it was still a two man tackle even if one drops off? Seen Raiders penalised for the same strip many times...

I can’t get over that 5th tackle option. The worst exhibition of game management you will ever see

Raiders kick three field goals all year, despite multiple one point losses. Rabbitohs kick three in a game.

Fixed (although I’m not certain on the 3 years bit. Did we actually kick any in 2016/2017?)

Great game! I thought stg were very gutsy. Probably the better team.
Souths were off, but gained momentum enough to win.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Dragons have done wonderfully well. They looked like shot ducks in the month or two leading up to the finals.

I thought dragons were the better team for most of the game, but Souths were well on top in the last 10 minutes - the bunnies were offloading at will and the dragons weren’t getting up in defence

How many of those games did we win?

Also that Dragons last play has NOTHING on what Isreal Folau just did :lol:

So Souths know what to do and just hit it up the middle to get in position for the obvious play. Three times. Is that what all that Seibold "periodisation" training (or whatever tf it was called) was about? because if so, I'll have some of it.

And if, like St George, you can't count to six, get a new coach who can teach you how....

I dunno. Seems like a weekly occurrence for the Raiders
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.
