Just watching the Cronulla game. They did the dummy runner thing - contact - yet try given ! Again - the contact did not affect the try - but why is one not given and the other given. Either taking out a man does affect the line or it doesn't.
Game of the round. Broncs mounted their usual talented game but the sharks held them out to take a well earnt win.
Terrific contest. The Broncs came back at them like champions in the second half, but the Sharkies did well to hang on. How good was that defensive set at the end where they held Brisbane in their own 20 for six tackles?
The only blight on the game were a few grubby tackles. It will be interesting to see if because he has been recalled to the test side whether the judiciary whitewashes Gallen's unnecessary forearm to the head tackle
