[Dr Zaius]

Pity Melbourne didn't play like this when we played them

[Northern Raider]

Seen 5 or 6 tackles very similar to the one Horse got 4 weeks for.

[BJ]

Refs blowing the pea out of the whistle. But in his defence both teams are well and truly pushing the envelope.

[BJ]

Pretty gobsmacking when there’s been so many similar tackles to Hors that haven’t warranted a similar charge this last two weeks.

I thought we would have been looking to appeal the suspension. I haven’t heard an ex player or commentator who thought it was a valid suspension.

The Ramien tackle that injured Ponga got nothing but was a much clearer shoulder charge in my opinion.

[greeneyed]

You’ve got to kick long there. Three minutes to half time! Short drop out is not always the best choice, classic case where it wasn’t.

[greeneyed]

Refs blowing the pea out of the whistle. But in his defence both teams are well and truly pushing the envelope.

But only one team getting the penalties.

[greeneyed]

How does Reynolds get a captain’s challlenge, when they’ve used it up!?

5-5 penalty count.

Not entirely accurate. I'd say only one team getting subjective penalties.

[Finchy]

Yes but will their coaches come out and bag the NRL/referees in the post match presser? If not, no BS revenge charge from the NRL

[Finchy]

How does Reynolds get a captain’s challlenge, when they’ve used it up!?

I missed this, did he actually get a second challenge?

[President Clinton]

It wasn’t a second challenge…

The ref said ‘all scoring plays are reviewed’ or words to that effect.

[gerg]

Walsh is such a little bitch. Bring back the biff, just for him.

[Postman Pat]

It wasn’t a second challenge…

The ref said ‘all scoring plays are reviewed’ or words to that effect.

It pretty much was a second challenge, Reynolds told him to do it and ref went with it.

[greeneyed]

That was an outrageous penalty at the other end, then a six again.

[gerg]

Why wasn't that a knock on from Brisbane?

[Northern Raider]

That was an outrageous six again.

He lost the ball into a Storm player. Clear knock on. Touchie made the call.

[Mickey_Raider]

Storm look a bit Raiderish tonight. Struggling to lay a try on.

[Dr Zaius]

Mysterious six again after 6 tackles leads directly to Broncos try

[greeneyed]

Why wasn't that a knock on from Brisbane?

Surely it was a knock on?

[Finchy]

Storm not playing well. Poor sets attacking the line, poor end to sets, dumb penalties

[greeneyed]

Now they won’t even let the Storm use their challenge!

[BJ]

That was an outrageous six again.

He lost the ball into a Storm player. Clear knock on. Touchie made the call.

Yep looked like a loose carry into the contact live.

[Northern Raider]

Broncos sideline telling the trainer to call for a HIA on Carrigan so they can stitch him up and get a free interchange

[greeneyed]

Storm kicking game costing them tonight.

[Dr Zaius]

Clear shoulder charge on Meaney. At least clearer than Horse's

[gerg]

Melbourne are playing pretty bad, but Brisbane has been good.

[President Clinton]

Broncos sideline telling the trainer to call for a HIA on Carrigan so they can stitch him up and get a free interchange

**** I hope these cheating pricks don’t win the competition.

[Northern Raider]

Reynolds milks a penalty

[greeneyed]

The commentators saying the Broncos are the best defensive team in the competition. No they’re not. The Panthers by some margin.

The referees don’t seem to penalise Brisbane for going early in defence, ever, and ignore off side on the goal line. And are allowed to get away with anything in the ruck. They did it when they came to Canberra, so the tactics aren’t new.

[greeneyed]

10-5 the penalties.

[greeneyed]

That ankle is not on an angle it should be. Poor Ryan Papenhuyzen.

[Northern Raider]

Not good

[Northern Raider]

10-5 the penalties.

+ a pair of 6 against. 12-5 overall.
