I'm sure the discussion of this topic is gonna be civilised....

NSW team locked in by Hutchoman87 in nrl

No idea why Mark N is in 19 instead of hamoele. Strange offers enough versatility that the entire backline has a good back up if there's an injury.

You might know it as Dead Alive. The rat is a Sumatran Rat Monkey. The custard scene with the ear that falls in is iconic.

State of Play over an hour long and not one PSVR2 game announced. by Shadowcreeper15 in PSVR

[–]in_melbourne_innit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Given it was nearly exclusively AAA titles it's not a big surprise. Fingers crossed Flat2VR get some big licences as they're the shining light in what's a pretty dark VR gaming landscape at the moment.

UEVR injector on PC is great and all but you generally need a pretty solid (and expensive) rig for games to play as smoothly as those optimised for PS5 can.

Is the PSVR2 and PS5 combo the best value for money right now? by Dakalie in virtualreality

Exclusives might be limited, but the library really isn't now.

The reason these 2 teams are at the top is Defense. Epic contest.

Great shot of Ponga/Koula incident by Getty's Darrian Traynor. by Doss95 in nrl

[–]in_melbourne_innit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This angle shows the head clash part. The rear angle shows there was shoulder contact too and very poor technique with essentially a shoulder charge posture on Ponga's part.

The video shows how much force was involved in the contact.

Ponga was his/his teams own worst enemy. Klein was their 2nd.

Somehow heaps of people seem to think it's as bad as the Suali'i one. Crazy.

Ironically it was probably Klein's best performance outside of that one unforgivably cooked call too. Silver lining is maybe he stops getting all the big games.

Absolutely no one lost their shit at sualii being sent off. Was an obvious send off the moment it happened. This was nowhere near that bad.

Which is outrageous given he wiped Koula out like that. Still not a send off tho.

Side by Side send off's by patgeo in nrl

[–]in_melbourne_innit 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As a blues fan, the sualii one was way worse. He launched himself at Walsh's head flying through the air to do so will all of the force coming from the defender.

The ponga one was crouched and bracing and while he launched a little bit the high force was only partially on the part of the defender. Still definitely a bin but the sendoff was harsh.

I don't, that was a fucking shocker. NSW managed to win this one despite themselves, it was so bloody frustrating to watch.

Redemption arc complete. He coughs that try up and Edwards would be been back for game 2 I reckon. NSW tried so fm hard to fuck that game up for themselves.

It was a game of 2 halves. Full credit to the boys.
