I saw the half time stats for the Manly v NQL match and was wondering how Manly were ahead. Haven't watched the second half - they must really have fallen apart.
Has Ponga decided who he's going to play for yet?

He hasn't said anything yet. My money is on Qld. Why would you turn down Origin given the half arsed nature of international league?
I'm thinking Queensland as well, as unlike Taumalolo he was actually born in OZ IIRC?

@Nepia I think so. NZ parents. They went back to NZ for a while then returned to Aus as far as I know.

After the Warriors gave Des Hasler a stay of execution, the Tigers getting another hiding is making it look like Jason Taylor will be first out of a job

@mariner4life The Raiders are looking the goods however - my GF pick for this season is Raiders/Storm.

I'm watching the Roosters replay now and the refs have done them a few favours so far, and that's before the biggest call.
Reports Taylor will be gone in 24 hours. 3 games and fired even though they won one. Who do they bring in? Cleary?
-
Taylor gooonnne. Former Warriors coach Andrew Webster will take over until they find a new coach (either Cleary or Toovey).

Oh and surprised to see no comments re the officiating in the panthers v roosters game? So many shocking calls. Roosters very luck to get the win there

The lack of urgency from the Knights staff to bring their fullback Brendan Elliott off for a concussion test was the most shocking call of the weekend. He had to get knocked out a second time for them to act. Considering the club is being sued for their lack of urgency regarding a former player's headknocks, you think they would have taken that a bit more serious.

@Sneakdefreak similarly the Dragons yesterday calling Dugan a jaw injury and letting him stay on
-
Titans, Knights and Dragons all in line for big fines apparently
-
Already facing legal action from former player James McManus, the Knights allowed fullback Brendan Elliot to play on after being struck in the head by a swinging arm in the 28th minute. Elliot was then floored again in the 62nd minute after a tackle, this time resulting in him limping from the field. The scenes come as the NRL faces immense criticism for their alleged disregard for their treatment of player concussions.Geeeezus, have you seen watched that video? Can't believe they left Elliott on the field! Also wonder whether the players that tackled him have been cited for foul play.

Yea the swinging arm is getting 4 weeks i think

Just the arm or is the rest of Hymel Hunt included?

@Sneakdefreak the arm showed no remorse
