One on one steals

[Botman]

The Lui steal looked the right call live, i wasnt stunned at all when the penalty came, but the replay showed he timed it up perfectly and they got it wrong.

[gangrenous]

What a clutch play from Hodgo

He was **** dog **** most of the night, but puts us in position to win the game when it mattered

Have we decided what we’ll argue about yet? Got any suggestions?

After that win, i think we should just agree to take this week off and reconvene Monday week
Im promising myself that im not going to waste any time this week on this, the win deserves to be savoured.

One on one steals are the best! Lui was unlucky to be pinned for his.

I just gave Croker points in the fans choice so I can’t really bag him this week. I thought he played well - surprised he wasn’t getting more points actually

I can get on board that!

Radio commentators said that he reefed it out after the ref had called held.

Ah that's interesting. I've got no views on that, i got no views on anything except we're the **** tits

[Northern Raider]

Good rule this. Imagine just watching the Storm tuck it under the arm and shut down the game knowing you can't take the ball of them.

Hodgson is a beast stripper! hes in a league of his own

It goes squarely in the "was it a rake/was it a knock on?" category and Melbourne can cry me an effing river.

Yeah..I got one.

How about Stick spending 80mins in the box. It's not right !!

Should be a trophy at the Dally M’s awards for most strips

[Botman]

I’ll do you one better, Hodgson should just saunter on stage and actually strip at the dally ms

It was after the refs loudly called “held held HELD!!” too, he really gave them no option but to blow the penalty haha

[gangrenous]

Rickman watched that game and is sober enough to write a coherent sentence?

Tonight is just full of surprises!

Refs were calling ‘held held held’ a lot tonight, with players from both sides still trying to strip it or get the player to ground. One from Jesse Bromwich trying to strip was ridiculous and the refs just let him off, despite arguing with him for seconds to let go.

The ruck was abysmal tonight. Storm got away with murder a number of times. Especially if we had a chance of a quick play the ball.

Absolutely one of the best rules introduced in 30 years.
Incredible

Smith tackle on CNK. Held, release. CNK gets to his feet. Smith pulls him to the ground again. Play on.

[gangrenous]

If that’s the one I’m thinking of I was annoyed in the game day thread because you could clearly hear the ref call “milking”

[gerg]

I think the refs get the Milking wrong all the time. A player being held down and is thrashing around ... milking. Cam Smith deliberately wraps his legs around an attackers legs and takes ten seconds to disentangle.... milking. It is the tacklers responsibility to clear the ruck. Unless the attacker is physically holding onto the defender it should be a penalty, every time. Then watch how quickly the ruck cleans up.

The storm have definitely perfected the next ruck art of tangling themselves into the attack on purpose
It’s really quite something the way they innovate in the ruck like this

[Dr Zaius]

There was no tangling. No, well it was line ball. No he was milking a bit.

Smith was lying on his back. As CNK bends to play the ball, smith grabs his Jersey and pulls him to the ground.

It was as obvious a text book penalty as has ever occurred. It could be used in instructional videos for young aspiring videos. Play on.

My only gripe with the rule here is that the ref's often call held, and then a pass is thrown.

The ref will allow the held tackled player to reset and play the ball.

There is an inconsistency with the rule which I'd like to see changed. If a player strips the ball after the held call, it shouldn't be penalised.

The strip doesn't count and the held player keeps the ball.

[Get back the Ten]

They should keep the strip rule because we need to get the ball back after getting 7 penalties against us in a row.
The roosters are guilty of loose carries when they played the Raiders.
Robinson should realise now that the raiders will beat them in the semifinals no matter how many penalties they get in a row.

[Robinson Crusoe]

Still missing the nuance there pig. He says “whether the rule stays or goes there are so many more rules”...

i.e. this rule is not what I want to focus on or discuss, and nor should the NRL as it’s part of a bigger problem. He couldn’t say “no, it’s not difficult for the refs to rule on I want the rule to stay” straight up as an answer because the Warriors were crippled by it a fortnight ago. But he moves away from talking about that rule exclusively as fast as he reasonably can without looking like a goose. He makes it clear that there’s an overall problem, changing one rule won’t fix that (so don’t change just the rule I like).

He answered a direct question, and then shifts the conversation to other parts of the game he’s unhappy with. But he was asked directly about that rule and answered it directly before the move, the reporter even confirms that this rule was one he was speaking to, and he confirms it was.

5 days later his messaging has changed to align more with what most of us think of the rule. He’s done the right thing by walking his previous comments back.

I’ve explained it as clearly as I can. The journalists are trying to drag him into a discussion on that rule and every time he works away from it as quickly as he can.

You’re Robinson Crusoe here pigman.

Firstly, around here that wouldn’t concern me one iota. Wouldn’t be the first and won’t be the last

Secondly, apparently not Robinson Crusoe given the club has made a concerted effort to correct the message, including Stuart specifically addressing his response to that question.

The club obviously felt their messaging/RL politiking needed to be corrected. So here they are correcting it.

Not much more to be said.

Someone called me?

[Botman]

about bloody time you answered the bell, Robbo

[gangrenous]

just searching the GH for posts to bump now are you Robinson?

Anyone noticed we have put the steals away a little bit? Reckon we are in for a theftathon

I think we're still looking for it, other teams seem to be better prepared. We've probably had the short end of the stick the past few matches. The good thing is we're still winning

After people had a whinge they seemed to give a bit less leeway with what was allowed.

[Botman]

It's almost as if once teams really focused on it, they were actually able to stop us from doing it at will. And all the hand wringing about it was a complete and total waste of time.

Who could have possibly predicted this?
