I disagree in this case. The initial problem happens a very long time before Walker does the "punch".
Agreed. Commentators whinging about it not being a punch but it looked like a clear 'palm' strike.

Both teams pose a lot of danger, but of the two, I'd rather face the Rabbitohs. The defence in this game from both teams has been poor.

This is kind of better. Plus there has already been a little chippy action, i like the prospects of this boiling over if things stay tight...

Burgi and Roids Kapow love to set the tone with a big shot that can slip high or end in a shoulder.
But ultimately my big takeway here is if these teams show up defending like this next week, it wont **** matter who plays, we'll give them the business.

I'm not arguing about Walker being sent. But there wasn't much in any of it, and the initiator should go if Walker goes.

Yep agree.
Manly stay offside out wide constantly and rush up hard to stifle the halves.
Souths are way too timid and passive.
If the Sea Eagles get through... we need to work out a game plan for these tactics. We didn't have one last time. Or at least it wasn't executed.

Was it a fist or a slap? Slaps normally come from the side, his hand was thrown with a punch action, but I couldn’t see whether he had a closed fist or not.

I’m starting to think it was a punch from the reverse angle.

It was a punch, no question in my mind
It was disgusting, these one punch attacks can kill people

Between he and DCE, the behaviour in this game is appalling and i expect both to be charged and to miss AT LEAST one game

I think it’s dangerous to think either of these teams will defend like this next week. Whoever wins will have a rocket put up them at that training, and for the most part these teams have defended well this year

No. Say Bateman pushes an opposition player and the player punches Bateman back and Bateman stands there laughing - should they both go to the bin.

Agree.

They did it to us last time too.
The refs need to control it, but is suspect no ref wants to overblow the whistle now, as they risk tainting the game and not allowing it to flow.

Manly are a bigger risk with their gameplan and aggressiveness.

Souths in paper have more talent.

48th min TRY SEA EAGLES to Moses Suli, just fends off Gagai easily. Reuben Garrick... terrible conversion attempt. Sprays well wide.

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.

Both teams are looking so garbage... I want Souths to win though, they look weaker in both attack and defence. Plus DCE always plays well against us :(
