It is absolutely wild the amount of people I’ve seen online saying Moses ‘milked’ the penalty that got kikau sinbinned on Monday.
Wether you agree with the sinbin or not if people actually watch the replay, Moses gets spinned in the air since he’s off the ground when kikau comes in contact with his leg, immediately gets up and starts heading towards his team who just got the ball back.
You even see he’s not bothered by it since he’s signalling 6 again based on the contest for the ball.
Absolutely infuriates me seeing online media and different podcasts still going on and on with the narrative of Moses ‘milking everything’ how ever when he where’s a blues jersey people are commending him for his brutal physicality on his defence, make it make sense!?
Cooper Cronk led the milking moan.If he was being sensible about it, he would have seen that Kikau creates the momentum for Moses’ body to twist in the air from the initial contact with the leg. I don’t see any secondary movement like ‘I’ve been hit now I’ll accelerate the body twisting and movement’. Also if Cronk wants to look at all previous Moses kicks he will see Kickau in aggressive chasing position(no problem with that). His strategy to intimidate was always a risk to go wrong, it did and he got what many others have been punished with. Could Cooper have a look at Crichton’s milking tricks?
Cronk does say that it is a penalty, just that maybe not a sin bin. However, touching the kickers leg has bin a sin bin this season, so milk or not this year it has gone to the bin.
Mind you, Moses was nothing like Herbie Farnworth playing dead against us.
It’s crazy too me that one of the only people I’ve seen in media say it actually deserved 10 in the bin and it has for awhile was actually Willie mason, one of the Bulldogs greats on his own podcast.
