Gal comes to Storm's defense after costly sin bin - Round 10 Recap: Sunday Footy Show | NRL on Nine 

Billy questioning the referee's decision now? I thought last week you were standing up for them 😂😂😂

This is why NSW lost under Fittler, he had no idea.

Exactly the same thing happened in the easts v wahs game not even a penalty called for contact to the leg. No consistency. Let's see what the NRL say this time.

you know when you have gallen saying the sin bin was harsh, when his own team gets the benefit, pretty clear cut xD

Fittler is such a pansy these days. He must be close mates with Sutton or Klein because he never has a bad thing to say about the bunker. Thank the lord he isn't coaching the blues any more.

They're comparing reserve grade kick pressure to NRL. Yes, those examples used in the reserve grade are 1000% worse than what happen with Grant or even SJ. Yes, don't attack the legs, but refs need better judgement calls. If the contact is negligible then maybe a penalty. Now we have more and more players milking for penalties, its become soccer where 90% of goals are off milking penalties.. Its getting soft and the NRL need to do better.

Dylan Walker gets much heavier contact, injures his ankle in the Wahs v Roosters game. Nothing called. No penalty, no sin bin. Play goes on literally around him. It doesn't matter who the kicker/tackler is in any game, fans (and players) just want consistency.

wouldnt be a problem if they didnt change the rules to remove blockers

I agree the prevalent diving in the NRL this year is very frustrating to watch whether it is against your team or more so if it is your supporting team doing the diving.

To be fair this talk should’ve been had after the many vs warriors game

The “slap” on the face penalty on Tom and now this. Rugby is turning soft

i was never a fan of Gal as a player but loves his sense of humour and his non biase views from New Zealand

There was a similar incident in the previous game. If the next incident is not a send off the the Storm shoud hit the NRL with a firestorm that the NRL will have to try and get the UN to intervene. But as a Storm supporter the Sharks were on fire and the better team.

Sharks have gelled recent weeks, strong work along with good skills,band of Bros

I think Harry Grant's sin bin is completely justified. I think the other similar instances so far this season should have been sin bins. I think that kind of contact should be a sin bin every time from now on.

Happened with the roosters and warriors, also happened to drinkwater last week against the dolphins, nothing came of it, they can’t say consistency when it’s happened multiple times and nothing was done…

Love how latrell only comes into the game within 20meters of the line

Yip sharks tuff. Win it all. Jez not sure but goin good.

Did Freddy mention manly to one of the 6 contending teams? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Seruisouly ref 😱😊

Same thing happened in the Roosters v Warriors game. Dylan Walker kicks gets clipped by a Rooster, Dylan Walker goes of injured but in this case not even a penalty. It’s one or the other the inconsistent officiating is ruining the game.

Freddie can't mention Reece Welch Billy had to remind him

Good point on the HIA for diving Gal. Good point on the HIA for diving Gal.....bloody second head. SHUT UP...!

Has Fittler ever played the game. What a fool.

My problem with reffing over the weekend is why wasn’t Crichton yellow carded for the trip near the line. This game is fast turning into a joke.

It’s a absolute disgrace if didn’t even touch him he’s a joke

The Harry Grant ruling was appalling. A sin bin ruling will always advantage one team. Referees should not determine the outcome of a game by being legalistic. Thirteen against twelve is an unfair advantage. If you wouldn't make the ruling in a grand Final with 5 minutes left in the game, then don't do it in a club match. The same goes with the accidental brushing of the head by Bromwich. Turbo should not have been rewarded for dropping the ball. He used the opportunity to cover up his mistake...watch hime grinning when he got away with it. Maybe he was embarrassed but all of these decisions are embarrassing and they change the momentum in a game.

How come use never talk about newcastle

NOT A FAN OF EITHER TEAM BUT THAT WAS A BS PENALTY AND SIN BIN.

nrl turning into touch footy soon with all these soft rules

No Hughes, Papenhuyzen and Coates is not the equivalent of No Hynes. The Sharks got Melbourne at the best time to get a win. The win is being overhyped.

Freddy continues to show how out of touch of the game he really is. No wonder he lost the NSW job.

I dont think sharks are better side if u were they were to play 10 games it probably be 50/50 It all depends on abit of luck and ref calls, the sin bin made a big difference. Where the try was scored is where Harry sits 😂

Is anyone else genuinely dumbfounded Freddy was the nsw coach last year? Virtually every thing he says doesn’t make sense. The other hosts treat him like their brother with special needs

Rules are rules and Melbourne play to the rules and use them, so don't spit the dummy when they get penalised for going past them.

Ok, no touch the leg in any way shape or form. So every game 20 sin bins. It changed the momentum of the game. The actual final score is St 18 Sh 6. Without the match bias n no try, called a try with no evidence. Poor form.

I think filter getting a job in the bunker soon.

The person to blame for laying down for a penalty is bully slater he was the king of milking when. He did it was called gamesmanship and now it's diving hypocrisy at its finest.

It's closer to grant getting kicked than grant contacting kicker. It's nothing either way.

Freddy’s cooked

This segment proves Fittler has no idea about the game anymore and is the prime evidence why Slater coached rings around him in Origin

The "gamesmanship" and penalty milking rests squarely on the modern coaching methods..squeezing and manipulating the rules to the enth degree. In some instances it could be classified as blatant cheating..but thats where the game is at right now. As soon as a rule is brought in to try and improve the game..the wily coaches find a way to bend it to advantage. Also the players have far to much to say to the ref..they are constantly barking in their faces at every opprtunity.

Its plain and simple they wanna make an example of storm because apparently we get away with everything. But we didnt lose the game because of the sin bin.Harry came back on and in last 10 mins gives away a penalty and a set restart then with 6 mins left they do a short kick off. Those 3 stupid things lost us the game. But officials need to pick their game up because its fast becoming a joke

Fittler is so clueless it hurts. So happy he isnt coaching NSW anymore

Gal talking his 3 outs 😂 nothing compare to melb outs Hughes and paps and Coates are big outs that’s where storm points come from

Could sharks have won if Harry was not sin binned ? 🤔 IDK

100% gal, HIA for anyone moaning about head contact. Starting with whiny Tedesco.

Harry was probably Melbourne’s best player then got taken off for no good reason. Refs are bad, no doubt, they’re terrible, but there’s no quick fix and bad refs will continue to ruin close games

Freddy isnt at all smart with analysis of the games.

Lol, Gal speaking about hits to the head. Go Gal, go the sharks 🦈

Sharks always get an easy draw, last night they bought the ref

Atki did tops,Grant's shot was cheep & cynical ,coulda caused bad injury, jil those supporting it

Freddie is lost again

Like l always said Raf from NSW hated Melbourne Storm 🖕 Melbourne Storm all the way 2024 🏆 💜

there should be degrees of intent to injure with this call. you can see players going to acting school and looking like soccer dive theatrics. Refs need to have some leeway but sad as it is refs are human and do make mistakes, what is the crime is the bunker with all their tech making the wrong call

Yer penalty for leg touch. Not 10

Gettin bit soft.

Fitler is so lonely .

I agree with Fittler: the defender can't touch the kicker's leg/s while in the motion of kicking the ball. The defender has to either try and charge down the kick or tackle the kicker before he kicks it .
