So as Wales RL fan (not Welsh, long story) The england team frankly has little interest i'll watch the games as i watch most games. However the squad thats been picked. They may as well save the ticket money and stay home.
Gotta say the ref is already looking dodgey in the GF, roosters get a soft as 6 again despite him not seeing holding down ruck interference and a blatant shoulder charge against the Knights.
My concern is in the roosters game Katoa looked out of ideas too. Either the pair of them will click and be leathal or the pair of them will bring out the worst in each other.
so in an interesting twist the kiwis havn't named their 23 for the world cup. if they pick crossland now he serves his ban at the WC if they don't pick him his ban carries over for the first 3 rounds of next season. If they had already named their squad he would have served his ban over WC...
Next round of contracts with the increase in cap i think you'll see the top centres around 1.3. like many things though it remains to be seen. No doubt the NRL will pull some utter bullshit rules like you get a bonus point if you hit 20 offloads a game or some other stupid trial
Basically my point. Radley committed the same action with the same risk and is passed to play. The mechanic is dangerous therefore should be equally punished. But if you are lucky enough to get away without injuring someone you don't cop the ban. If people are continually let off with small...
Sorry the injury is irrelevant to me. its the mechanics that cause it so if you want to stop is stamp out the action. Crossland was the 1/1000 who got unlucky meanwhile Radley who is famous for it and did it to Herbie walks into the GF. Crock of shit
Crossland got 4 games! Personally i felt he fell off the upper body as opposed to deliberately dropping the hip but either way this is a classic example of judging the injury not the offence. Essentially every player landing on the leg with force from now on should get 4 weeks.
You cannot...
