Napas 2nd report

[davos]

if Napa misses games our forward pack will be on life support.

Moa has been very average (7 runs for 59m) and Manu had one run for 13m.

Surely you were in a pub in Kogarah! That was such a dive he should've been issued with goggles and a snorkel (which may have been appropriate in the weather)! That a penalty was rewarded after being reviewed was an absolute disgrace! No contact to the head anywhere, and afterwards he just sprang up! Should've been a penalty to us!

The entire team should charge in and start a melee around the diver.

1 in all in!

That's what I thought. We should have gotten a penalty for diving and he should have been put in the bin for 10.

Don't know about the other shot but the one on Aitken was a tickle across the shoulder and chest that wouldn't have hurt my grandmother.

Sickening display by Aitken but the officials weren't brave enough to call out his lie.

Glenn Stewart at least admitted he dogged it...Aitken lost some caste on Saturday with this act...good player but gee he's got some bad advice or mentors.

[Juggler]

Sterlo mentioned it on MMM this evening. Said that Aitken took a dive and that you'd fight any charge based on how ridiculous it is.

[The Axe]

Was Napa charged?

[mightyrooster]

That idiot Brad Walter is claiming the MRC backed the refs and said Napa did hit the lay down Sally Aitken in the head with his shoulder. It did not look like it to me live.

[elo]

Was Napa charged?

Not for this shot, was for his first report which was pretty clear high contact.

[Spirit of 66]

If you listen to the Press Conference, Robbo has an exchange of words with "Brad" (Brad Walter of the SMH). Walter believed that the contact was real, but Robbo suggested that he look at the video.

In today's paper, Walter presents evidence that Robbo was wrong - (1) Aitken said so and (2) the match review committee said so (though the tackle was only worthy of a penalty).

I don't know which of these two have less credibility, but neither can convince me. What exactly did the match review committee object to? Recklessly attacking a player's chest and shoulder?

... What exactly did the match review committee object to? Recklessly attacking a player's chest and shoulder?

LMAO. Love your work Spirit.

I read that article by that bitter little brad walter. Clearly little brad has a problem with Trent Robinson and with logic.

To little brad if you happen to troll through this forum, it seems you couldn't put the game first as Trent asked of you and your fellow journalists. Instead you resort to a petty, vacuous and glib retort knowing that Trent doesn't have right of reply.

IMHO it as a disgraceful act taking the dive. Of all days, there was no honour in this. Gents, I'm fed up with the game. I started reading the internet today at the match. I'm disgusted in what it has become.

I just listened to Robbo's press conference. It echoed what I just wrote re lying down. Please listen and watch

Fair enough but there was more than that lying down that cost us the match that we are responsible yet these players will be up there next week doing it all again so we can blame the referees again. Either stay down or stop the whining!

[Darkone]

If a player takes a dive, stays down....

automatic concussion procedure should apply

take him off & qualify the carnt

[OMR]

Even Sue, the one eyed st george supporter, on talking sports on 2sm said that was not a high shot not a penalty.
