For the Alex Mckinnon and Jordan Mclean game, who won that game? Nobody cares, and that game will be remembered for all the wrong reasons in years to come

Was there even a celebration after that game?

:lol: Andrew Fifita, what an idiot.

Gotta admit, it's pretty funny what's happened.

Alex McKinnon officially a paraplegic. Horrible news.

I thought he was on the mend? Read a report yesterday I believe that his assisted scintillation was removed and he was communicating with his doctors and family? Was also going to be moved from the hospital in Melbourne to RNS in Sydney. :-k :? :-s

News like this makes me sick to my stomach

It's a brown snake, or a keelback.

Jordan Mclean wiped out for 7 weeks for that tackle

Enjoy choking on your meals for the rest of your life, son

Disgraceful decision by the NRL. What's happened to McKinnon is tragic, but punishing McLean doesn't help him. If McKinnon isn't injured he doesn't get a week. As bad as it sounds to say it, if he didn't drop his head down to try and get to ground quicker this probably doesn't happen

Agreed, the judiciary has been a disgrace for a long time now. We'll see the same tackle 20+ times by the end of the year and most wont get a week.

The judiciary are a joke. Apparently added on 4 weeks for McKinnon's broken neck.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the NRL is dead to me. Have fun in front of your 7k crowds (Y)

Agree, a really rough decision. As if McLean wasn't feeling shit enough as it is, I don' think he deserved a suspension, definitely not one that long. It was an unfortunate tackle, and somebody got injured. He didn't set out to break his neck, and consequently turn him into a paraplegic.

The NRL has been a joke for a while now. I struggle to even watch 10 minutes of it.

That's a lot for watered down proper rugby :lol:

It's awful that the Storm bloke is going to have to live with that tackle for the rest of his life. A very unfortunate event.

I've seen a lot of people having a crack at him. As others have said there are always tackles this one with the only issue with this one being a bloke got seriously injured.

That's exactly it. This sort of tackle happens in every game, and if the referee/s pick it up (if they choose too!) it's usually nothing more than a penalty, and it's forgotten about it in 5 minutes.

It definitely not a Kevin Muscat style incident where McLean's got out to intentionally hurt McKinnon. If McKinnon hadn't broken his neck over the incident, we wouldn't be talking about this.

League could honestly benefit from a yellow/red card sort of system in my opinion. Given him a yellow card for the incident, moved on.

Canterbury does in the Roosters on a wet and miserable night at the SFS 9-8

Yeh, if Im actually going to sledge Jordan Mclean, I would say hes a shit player regardless, and we have no idea why he gets paid to "play"

Maybe the neck breaker gets paid to break people's necks?

I hope Jordan Mclean chokes and dies a little bit with every breath he has

Whats Jordan Mclean, his friends or family going to do? Break my neck?

Eels currently 3rd after beating Brisbane Broncos 25-18 last night.

If they hadn't conceded that last minute try to Manly they'd be 1st :lol: Crazy first 4 rounds really.

Yep.

Need rain in Sydney?

Start the NRL season!

Theres been 2 days in the whole season of games in Sydney where the rain hasnt affected the games

As a result crowds have been down, way down

Yeah, blame it on the rain. :lol:

What else are sydneysiders going to do?


Watch afl? :lol:

A-League games??

The Scum (aka the Bulldogs) beat the Warriors by a fieldgoal

In the other game this afternoon, Cronulla might as well have had themselves beat at half time in a game that equates to the special Olympics compared to today's other game
