Absolutely, in my experience even at reserve grade level whenever players return to play a side that they have played for most of their careers is always sentimental and highly emotional . So Lomax v dragons and of course Gutho v Eels, should be a beauty. We need a big body off the bench perhaps limited minutes for Tonga may be the way to go against a struggling team. You would think it's Klemmer/ Couchman as our starting props.
Never doubt the bunker, I've never seen a decision of theirs overturned by the on field ref.
That was a try and perhaps could have changed the game if awarded but that's life
I thought it was a try ...... Piss the bunker off , they make calls on everything else but if a team scores from a forward pass it's ok ........
Bunker messed up with the Penrith no-try but got it 100% right in regard to the Kotoa no-try.
Bunker is here to stay unfortunately, too much politics involved
To be honest how can they allow betting on NRL when the Bunker and Refs 6 against can influence the outcome of a game ....... Players ain't allowed to bet on games , but this lot can change a game ........
$$$$$$ and everyone gets a slice of the pie
Sometimes I long for the 80s and 90s again. The NRL does itself no favours in gagging the coaches this season. That is not what I would call accountability. As a coach that was one of my markers, same in my professional life.
