No often you would heap praise in a team down 16-6 at half time but Warriors have been incredible. If the possession started to level up they might get back in it.

Shame to see Mary go. It was handy to rule St.George out as threats each year.

The Warriors made a pretty good fist of that. Better than we did.

Heighnington, Darius, John Morris....

It used to be a fairly exclusive club, now not so much.

Panthers have been gifted.... they got a rails run against Titans and Cowboys, which made Ivan's comments last week astounding.

Clear strip... While the commentators claim he can't strip with the back of his hand. He had his hand curled around the ball then pushes it out with his hand. Of course the tackler knew where the ball was.

Channel 9 highlighting the Eels first try.... the problem is Moses clearly catches the ball from Paulo on the inside of Matterson's shoulder - instant penalty - then the pass is clearly forward to Gutho.

Yep that was my thought live and both issues were confirmed on replay.

Channel 9 love to ignore referee decisions, but then all of a sudden they’ll make a huge song and dance about a call they don’t like.

I only just noticed that Cummins was dropped this week. Next is Klein hopefully.

Most of the time it's Gould being a total bell end.

Yeah. Sterlo is generally pretty good but throw him in the box for an Eels game and yeah...

Wow, Proctor sent off for a bite on Johnson. That's a massive call.

That doesn’t look like a bite to me and I’ve got experience. Just today my 1 1/2 year old bit my 3 1/2 year bow bit her back, they left teeth marks and blood.

Fair call though

He either was biting or just happened to have his mouth around his arm as if he was biting. Off you go

Have to ask though, why was Johnson stuffing his arm into Proctor's mouth?

Here's another confusing call. If a player flops to the ground he only has to be touched for a tackle to be completed. Bunker calls that a player falling off. That's incorrect as he's tackled on first contact.

That cronulla try off the charge down.

Old mates ball carrying arm touched the ground while the titan was in contact with him then fell off. Croker got penalised for a double movement for that a few years back. I've never seen another player get penalised for it

Even worse it was a surrender. Tackle was made as soon as he's touched. It's quite disheartening when they officials sitting in the bunker who don't understand their own rules.

Mind boggling how Tyrone Peachey can find himself anywhere near a 1st grade spot. He's a total liability.

Fox deciding to harp on about “controversial incidents” instead of focusing on the football, yet again.

Shaun Johnson basically tells them to **** off and rightly so.

Embarrassing.

That's the thing. An arm was being forced into his mouth. He may have bit down but did not instigate to he contact. Definitely mitigating circumstances and enough that a send off was not justified. Let the judiciary decide.

Looked to me like he thought about chomping in and kind of half did so, but not quite. His mouth didn't seem to fully close on the arm. Not quite like Tyson on holyfield where he gripped and ripped 😅

I'm on the other side, I think there's sufficient to send off
