Cogger charged for high tackle

Panthers player Jack Cogger has been charged by the NRL Match Review Committee following the Round 9 match against the Sea Eagles at CommBank Stadium.

Cogger received a grade two charge for a high tackle in the second half.

The charge carries a one-match suspension with an early guilty plea. If Cogger elects to challenge the charge and is unsuccessful, he faces a two-match suspension.

The club has until 12pm Tuesday to submit a plea.

Considering it was an accidental head cash, probably worth challenging.

Nathan and Dylan did well in the Dally M points this week. As the score was so close, I expected all the points to go to Manly.

Itā€™s funny, I can be watching a game I have 0 interest in, just love watching footy and within 10 minutes I have a side to support, usually the one the ref is against. The Dogs V Cows was a perfect example, the Cows were being treated like we did, the Dogs getting away with blue murder while the Cows getting pinged for a beard rub. I was soooo happy the Cows got the points. There is no logical reason for such a biased view from the refereeingā€¦ā€¦

And it wasnā€™t even that bad

Regarding Coggers incident, it certainly just looked like a head clash from the ground replay. A penaltY at worst in my eye, not a single bin or suspension.

Back to the actual footy - I thought Leota once again led from the front in his first spell, and Lindsay was dynamite in his second spell.

I hate to say it, but Sorro looks tired playing in the middle, but that said we donā€™t have many options for middle forwards. Maybe once Martin returns we play Papaliā€™i off the bench in prop rotation?

Blaze and McLean were both guilty of pushing passes way too often. That whole rushing the play in the second half was painful to watch.

Agree Tago is getting better each week coming off the bench as an edge forward. We say from Bathurst last year that he struggles with 80 minutes in the forwards, but a 30 odd minute spell seems his sweet spot.

I wasnā€™t sitting in a position to judge on the forward passes for their tries, but I sure did see the obstruction.

I gusty win against quality opposition
