Doggies playing well with an 18 - 0 lead at halftime. They've faded badly in all their games so interesting to see how they go.

The bunker got it wrong, as there was inconclusive evidence to overturn, based on the fact some of us think it was a try and others think it wasn’t. If it had been sent up a No Try it should’ve stayed a No Try, but this was sent up a try!

Let me frame it another way, does anyone doubt the Sutton one was a No Try? THOSE are the decisions the video ref are for, when the ref has made a clanger. When it’s 50/50 and nobody can tell for sure, it needs to go with the onfield call!

Boy, the way the Storm beat the Panthers really made our game last week look a little better, didn’t it?

Storm are just so hard to beat at this time of the year, they really transition from preseason into the regular season better than any other team I’ve ever witnessed.

Boyd dumped to the bench already. Glad we are not paying $800,000 for that slug.

So our defense is about 3rd best in the NRL, but our attack is 12th....

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.

Which is pretty good I think considering how much we have struggled defensively in recent years and the fact we are still settling into a new spine.

Looked to me like he lost control of the ball and forced it with his forearm. Unfortunately you can't force it that way anymore. You're using 50/50 on a Raiders forum as proof? I'm sure 100% of posters on the Knights forum thought the bunker got it right.

Maybe someone with greater internet prowess than either of us can come up with a bunch of 'stills' to convince either of us?
