@jezza_nastyjvc @LeagueScenePod I don’t think he lead with it. That would require no contact from the body but that wasn’t the case. I believe he lead with the shoulder and it was a shoulder charge but I don’t think a send off was reasonable

[Damien Brown @beatdown155]

@JoelMacRae1 @NRL 🤔 head clash but you’re right deliberate because making contact is part of the game.

Bet you’re a fan of golf 😂

[Damien Brown @beatdown155]

Sin Bin at worst. Ashley Klein nows how to wreck a game. Did it in the Broncos Warriors game and now Origin.

They should’ve known after that game he wasn’t fit for Origin @NRL #Stateoforigin

[Damien Brown @beatdown155]

@carausius286 @NRL To be fair the referees are incredibly inconsistent but it’s the @NRL’s fault because the game is over officiated and now they can’t even implement half the rules consistently anyway because it’s so fast

[Damien Brown @beatdown155]

@carausius286 @NRL I do think a sin bin for recklessness was probably reasonable but a send off was wild.

Klein can’t get game 2!!!! Yellow yes, but a red!!?? It was shoulder on shoulder contact, which led to head on head… @nrl #StateOfOrigin

[Damien Brown @beatdown155]

@carausius286 @NRL Send off is wild from a head clash. Even if a shoulder charge was a penalty and 10 min rest

Mark Shapiro “We're in the true MMA business on a meaningful, consistent basis” yet the rankings mean nothing. The guy is protecting his brand at TKO Group but reality is the fight did numbers and the UFC didn’t take them up on it.

The UFC has spectacles all the time. CM Punk a prime example 😂

[Josh Nason @JoshNason]

At today's JP Morgan global tech, media and communications conference, TKO's Mark Shapiro said the reason UFC passed on Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano was it "more of a stunt than a meaningful MMA event" and one he thought wasn't good for the sport after how it played out.

"(Netflix) wants big spectacle events and they saw this as a big spectacle event. We're in the true MMA business on a meaningful, consistent basis. When we looked at this potential matchup, keep in mind there's a real art and skill to matchmaking....The answers (he & Ari Emanuel) got back (from Dana White & Hunter Campbell) were that fight will be over in 20 seconds.

"I don't believe a fight like that, just the way it played out, is really good for MMA especially because it's Netflix and such an incredible global audience...that is going to sample, depending on what comes up on the front page, to go to that fight and think that's what MMA is, I don't believe is good for the sport long term.

"We saw it that way and decided to pass on it," taking nothing away from Rousey, her win or the viewers the broadcast got.

He’s lucky he got slapped.

Spitting on (assaulting) a police officer and a female is with a solid 30-60sec of dead ground treatment.

Should flogged the little prick https://t.co/Tz0W8bAJZl

@strongcap Thanks Dom, go to bed that’s enough twitter for you 😂

[Damien Brown @beatdown155]

Ashley Klein having the game of his life. Up 22-0 so far #NRLWARRIORSBRONCOS @NRL

[Damien Brown @beatdown155]

HIA but no penalty for high contact. What are we watching #NRLWarriorsBroncos @NRL

[Damien Brown @beatdown155]

@RheinbergerJohn @NRL Excessively one sided. There were some legit penalty’s but wait out for head NRL ref to apologise during the week.

Be nice to slow the game so we can enjoy watching it.

[Damien Brown @beatdown155]

@RheinbergerJohn @NRL The first penalty the warriors player literally rolled out deliberately 😂 they milked half of them.

Jus slow the game a little so we can all enjoy it

[Damien Brown @beatdown155]

@USMAN84kg Surprised it was split aren’t you. Strickland should’ve won 48-47 UD or better still 49-46

[Damien Brown @beatdown155]

@FightAlchemy @SchiavelloVoice No idea I don’t bet on Japanese MMA
