Green offers too little. Ineffective is a nice way of explaining his offensive kicking game. Every week we seem to go up against a half that can kick a spiral bomb. They float in the air and change trajectory right before you catch them. In other words, they are hard to catch. Green goes down their end and puts up picture-perfect parabolas. Not particularly high parabolas. Just high enough to allow the opposing fullback to get into the perfect position to collect them on the full. Low enough that the chasers are nowhere to be seen by the time it's been fielded and returned for 5-10 metres.
He had a goodish game last week and it may have made some of us think he still has something to offer but he doesn't. Good guy and all, probably would have finished his career on a higher note at any other club. But it's seeyu, seeyu later time thanks.

@raznomore I agree. Green is a solid option, but only when you have a really attacking creative 5/8.

Oh sure. And you league fans say rugby has gone soft?
Don't mess with Melbourne.
What happened?
Two guys going for a grubber on the ground, TV ref decides the raiders player took the other guy out without the ball in a try scoring position. Definitely wasn't clear that was the case, if anything it looked like he was swiping at the ball and came into contact with his legs.

Sounds exactly like the Warriors last night

Really hate how a player can milk a penalty in league just by acting like they’ve been decapitated if they get touched on the neck or head.
If it’s that fucking bad just make the refs call it without making us watch the shit acting.
-
Worst thing is that it was Addo-Carr that made initial contact. And the fact it was a YC just compounded the bad call. Two tackles later and Storm score.

Exactly.
Further proof that the Warriors continuously get butt fudged by the refs and the NRL, who let or more than likely encourage this to happen. -
@Gunner huh that's not the usual impression I get. Seems to be a lot of head/face contact in league that is let go as just part of the game.

Yes you’re right, sorry I didn’t explain myself properly.
Most of the time it is let go, unless a player decides to make something of it and pretend he’s hurt.
I’m surprised the players don’t do it more, as any sort of acting always seems to result in a penalty.Edit, or if they’re not acting and actually hurt, why do the NRL only penalise high tackles if someone gets hurt?
Really highlights the difference between the codes in player welfare doesn’t it?

We’re discussing armchair rides from the refs Not wins. The Storm would be close but the NRL has systems in place so that one team can’t hoard players.

@ACT-Crusader Yeah, for all their dominance they only have 2 premierships under Bellamy to show for it.

Does that count the stripped titles?
