I think a degree of one-sided retardism is healthy in a forum. Say, for example, sportingbet.com.au, which have NSW as favourites this year.

That's disappointingly soft from Luke - barely even grazed him whilst lashing out and hardly 'stomping' you battler.

Worst case scenario I'd give that a penalty for accidental contact but hardly an incident.

I personally have more of an issue with the cannonball tackle which isn't as plausible to shrug off as an accident.

The QLD squad are getting old. Smith and Cronk have looked nowhere near their best, Slater is a massive loss so NSW should be favorites.

And go back through the outrage that occurred at the time that one was given.....
Far more than what has occurred with CLaw's correct call on thw eekend you utter goose.

What about this one then:

If it was a simple exercise (and I could be fucked) I'd look up how many over the years have not been awarded penalty tries in similar circumstances but at the end of the day, I don't care what you say mate, the ref's will err on the side of caution when it comes to whether a bloke was going to score or not and never go down the path of awarding a penalty try if there is a 'reasonable chance' a try would have been scored......
Hence why there is this sentiment out there that the ref's interpretation is that they have to be 'certain' a try would have been scored.

Ice will be quick to shut that talk down!  No doubt we will hear how a NSW win would be more unlikely than Leicester, Buster Douglas and The Miracle On Ice combined.

haha fuck off! A team that has won for a decade, and still has the majority of the same players cant even be the underdog.
Crazy.

Sportsbet are off their heads - NSW cant even pick a team till Mitchell Pearce returns let alone win a fucking match.

Should be the first half you blokes pick.

I'm astonished Daley is even considering that dud Hodkinson.

Does the bloke perform an extraordinary amount of favours during camp or something.
