Anyone see this kicking incident on the weekend? They replayed it on TV last night and, without a word of a lie, it is the worst incident I've seen on a football field.

Full on kicked the guy in the face.

A king kick.

No it isn't - look up the Crimes Act.

Liquor laws vary by state. It is illegal to buy, drink or possess alcohol if under 18 on licensed premises, but states allow drinking or possessing alcohol on private premises for people under the age of 18 (under the supervision of an adult). In New South Wales there is no law against minors possessing or drinking alcohol on private premises, but there are laws against supplying or selling alcohol to a minor, as well as against minors "carrying away" alcohol from a licensed club.[48][49]Minors may be on licensed premises accompanied by a parent or guardian (but not purchase alcohol) and parents can not provide alcohol with a meal on licensed premises. In Victoria, if a minor is caught with alcohol it will be confiscated and guardians notified of the offense, and a fine may occur. It is also illegal to provide minors with alcohol, and one can be fined by it if caught in the act. It is illegal to buy alcohol if already drunk, and to supply alcohol to such a person.

From the above, it is legal....

I hate the player who did it, even if he is a Rooster. The Toyota Cup has been getting getting out of hand lately, and the referees need to stand up and show they won't tolerate it.

Great to see Greg Inglis stay in league.

I agree. He is a class, star player, and is setting the example for younger players, by staying in the NRL. After Gasnier and Money Bill William$ controversy's, this is exactly what our game needs, even if he is a New South Welshman, playing for Queensland. :p

So good that NYC games are being shown live on Fox Sports.

Broncos vs Bulldogs starts in 5 minutes.

That's the build up to the Broncos v Roosters game isn't it?

Think it is. If it is, it's great scheduling by the NRL, as the teams that finished in the top 8 in the Toyota Cup have been given venues that their NRL counterparts are playing. Even though Dragons v Warriors is a 3v6 game, they're playing it in Melbourne on Sunday as a build up to the Melbourne v Warriors game.

same with Raiders vs Titans. It's 1vs8 but its being played before the Raiders and Sharks NRL game tomorrow night.

Tonight will be the battle of the forwards. It is crucial that the Roosters win the battle upfront, because if we let them walk all over us, we will lose, and quite convincingly at that. The Roosters, with there compressed defence, will get plenty on tries scored against them if we slack off, and let them make metres and spread the ball to the wing. We will be demolished if we don't win upfront. Without Mason, we will struggle, and it's really up to Myles, Tupou, Shillington etc to really stand up and prove they are first grade quality. O'Meley will stand up as usual.

We have a lot of pressure on our halves. We will need Anasta to step up, with the captaincy, and with O'Meley, really lead from the front. It's also up to Pearce to lead us around the park.

I am so pumped for tonights match, will be watching every minute, might even write up a little report after it.

And finally, CARN ROOSTERS!!!

Yeah it's being played at the SFS. Well done NRL/NYC.

Broncos leading 10 - 6, great try by the Dogs a few minutes back.

Reckon this weekend of finals is the most interesting in a long time. Can see all of the top 4 teams getting beaten. Broncos have a great record against the Roosters in Sydney, Manly are no certainty against the inconsistent Dragons, Raiders are a big chance against the Sharks, and Warriors are one of only two teams to beat Melbourne in Melbourne in the last two seasons, and can beat anyone in their day. Should be an interesting weekend.
