That’s a very soft penalty that many teams never get.
You have to be taking the piss.
I guess I didn’t word it properly.
Yes Friend gave him a push but it was milked perfectly.
What I’m saying is you see that kind of push by the marker a lot and it doesn’t lead to a penalty.
I don’t think there was any milking in it and that looked to be a mandatory penalty that is given 99/100
But if you saw it differently fair enough
Watching live I was astounded at the stupidity of Friend and was team pigman.
Watching the replay I’m team BJ. Friend appears to push very little, but left himself open to the penalty being milked by never letting him go and giving a small shove at the end. Finucane on the other hand was arguably planting the ball and trying to play it in the act of getting up which he had no real right to. And he did appear to milk to perfection by falling from the lightest of shoves due to his poor balance position he had no right to be in.
Ultimately the right call is made. But it was more grey than I thought and I think it was well milked by Finucane.
OK that's interesting then, i admit i only watched one of the replays right after it, havent seen any others but it looked clear to me last night.
I'll give it another watch today at some point sober...

You will still see it’s a deserved penalty, but will probably now notice that Finucane made the very most of it.
Yeah not a classic game of high class football. It was an all out battle in the trenches. As enthralling as any game you'll see and an incredible finish (subsequently wrecked by that golden point garbage).

From the first 10 mins it looked like Cowboys might trouble Parra and take some points off them for us. Then unfortunately regular programming resumed.

Most people consider State of Origin the pinnacle of rugby league and Wally dominated a few series. I'm as Blue as they come but Wally was only despised because of how good he was. Gutherson looks and acts like a complete wanker.
What a load of garbage. Warriors player slips into Milford and a try is reversed. If you take a look at the Broncos first try there was a decoy that impeded a defender in exactly the same way.
