ROUND 15 DISCUSSION : NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS vs NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS

[packo]

Did well to come out of that 6 4. Hopefully we can really come good second half. Desperate for 2 points

 

[nunnsy]

We have been scrappy but I like the intent we have been playing with. I think we have got them covered.

clifford has got a couple wrong but his variety gives us more creativity than the rest of the team

 

[Kurriboy]

Surely you cannot say that wasn't a pathetic call....it wasn't forceful so shouldn't have been in the bin

It was the right call, in fact I would expect him to get suspended.

It was obvious he was going to pick up the ball, plenty of body to aim for, just reckless by Fitz.

His also got us two repeat sets. Geez some people are harsh judges (referring to earlier posts)

Are you dumb, stupid or dumb

But what’s the difference between this head high and one that warrants just a penalty?

Your the bloke asking if I am the same 3 things lol.

Are you rude, arrogant or just a d!ckhead?

 

[danknights]

There's the other 90% of his body to aim for.

Yeah sure.....1 thing that are told now is to wrap a ball. If nikorima is standing Fitz hits around rib/ball. There's thousands of a second to react to him falling. No human no matter your reflex under fatigue can react to either pull out of said tackle or hit lower. It was hardly forceful aswell. He hit more shoulder before head contact.

 

[jamesgould]

A player can’t just change his target area in a split second when the player juggles the ball and drops his centre mass by a couple feet.

Remember all the replays are in slow motion. Play it at real speed and it’s impossible to do.

He was crouched over the whole time Fitz was coming towards him in that example.

 

[Billy]

Fitz only had to fall on him and he couldn't resist going hard and mistiming it, although from at least one angle it looked like he only got shoulder.

Disagree....it wasn't forceful, he couldn't avoid it and no intent....it's BS and I'm dumbfounded that people are actually trying to say it's the right call

 

[Kurriboy]

The refs opinion? The force? Who knows. Its the rules these days.

The NRL will likely jump on it and probably cite him.

 

[Battler]

I look forward to seeing what Mitch and Jake can do once they get some game time together. It's easy to bag Mitch when the opposition know to just rush him every last tackle. Having a genuine alternative should be great for him and us.

No need for posts like this please. If you disagree then say why, don't just insult the other person.

I think you need to watch the replay. Just before impact Nikorima lowers himself even more. There is no way Fitzgibbon should of been sent for 10 there. It’s a joke.

 

[Kurriboy]

He couldnt avoid it? Seriously?

Some full on one eyed supporters here.

Im not saying it was brutal, im not saying I want him suspended, but im saying I expect the NRL will cite him.

He could easily have just fallen on him, didnt need that.

Bro it's a song

 

[slotmachine]

Fitz was dumb, but hopefully it doesn't cost us

 

[cowboyman]

Classic example right there that this game is getting soft and becoming more like OzTag.

You see an easy target you punish them not just flop on them.
