Huge news for the other game with Micheal Jennings being suspended for a positive drugs test.

The only thing that surprises me is that more of them don't get caught.

Shame to see him go after 298 first grade games. Will always remember the entertainment he delivered, sensational player for many years.

Yeah I won't forget that, but I also won't pretend it isn't everywhere in professional sport.

How many forward passes have Souths been throwing?

gerg · Post by **gerg** » October 10, 2020, 7:40 pm

Souths started well but Parra have bounced back well. I don't know that either side will worry Panthers though.

Sportsbet just ran an advertisement for a multi special that included a try by Tedesco. They obviously weren’t prepared for a Raiders win.

Cook should have been sent to the bin for a professional foul but na

Technical one for Canberra Milk probably.

But in retrieving the ball from the goal post rebound. The souths player looked like he deliberately knocked it forward so he could catch it. That’s actually illegal isn’t it?

Did King Gutho just get dethroned

Both top 4 teams knocked out this round, I wonder how often that happens

I wouldn’t be too worried by Souths if I was Penrith.

Were Parra really a top 4 team though?

Yep,attack great but defence is suspect

I reckon I’d tip Rabbitohs to do in Panthers next week.

Yes it is illegal if it can be proved that the player intentionally knocks it over the top of another player, rather than just attempting to re-gather. Difficult to prove.

I’ve only seen the long shot. Would be interesting to see a closer shot. But it looked intentional I thought.

gangrenous · Post by **gangrenous** » October 10, 2020, 9:05 pm

Just showed a replay. Looks like they were offside and the tap was deliberate. Very unlucky 10 seconds for Parra I reckon.

34yrs and counting Parra.
