That was my first origin game, dead rubber but free tickets so thought I'd check it out. League crowds are so devoid of atmosphere it's kind of sad, best parts were when someone scored and they would flick the flame thrower things on to warm us up a bit.

Thought I'd check out the rules to see if they clear anything up, and typically for the NRL they're fairly open to interpretation (which the rule book and interpretations section do nothing to clear up):The NRL 2016 Rulebook posted:Out of Play 2. An offside player shall not take any part in the game or attempt in any way to influence the course of the game. He shall not encroach within ten metres of an opponent who is waiting for the ball and shall immediately retire ten metres from any opponent who first secures possession of the ball. Now, clearly Jennings is in front of the kicker. As such, he shouldn't try to influence the game. He doesn't touch the ball or another player, and isn't directly involved in the play. No opponent is waiting for the ball or secures possession, so he's not infringing the second part of the rule, either. As such, it could be argued that he's fine. Now we get into the magic of interpretation and conjecture. As he runs, O'Neill definitely takes a look at him next to him and starts chasing. You could argue that's influencing the play. On the other hand, past this moment O'Neill immediately runs towards the ball, which he would have done regardless, never looks at Jennings again, and only runs towards Fifita and the ball, which are several metres infield and away from where Jennings is running to. As such, Jennings isn't actually making any difference in the play - you could remove him completely and the result would have been identical (unless you want to argue that O'Neill wouldn't have sprinted towards the ball had he not thought there was a man on his left chasing it, which is a bit of a stretch). I'm still not sure what the correct call is, and it'll be interesting to hear what Archer comes out and clarifies it as being, but I'm comfortable with the ruling as made. I think the rule could be updated to be more clear about these situations, though.

Many of the obstruction and shepherding penalties wouldn't be called if you applied this logic to the situations, but the game doesn't allow that any more. The rule is the rule, you don't know what O'Neill would have done if Jennings hadn't been there, but the fact that he was should have instantly shut down the try. But anyway, the ridiculous overreaction and subsequent lack of learning any lessons from the series by NSW is worth a dead rubber loss. Daley and his dumb selections will continue for at least another year thanks to last night's ludicrous display!

The rule is the rule, you don't know what O'Neill would have done if Jennings hadn't been there, but the fact that he was should have instantly shut down the try. You're ignoring the actual rule (lol just like Queensland all the time last night, right ) which explicitly says that an offside player is only to be penalised if they actually interfere with play and gives specific situations in which they should be penalised. The refs had to apply some of their own judgement to whether Jennings was interfering with play, and evidently concluded that since he was running away from the ball and O'Neill was effectively ignoring him that he wasn't a factor. Whether that's 100% right or wrong is the grey area, but you're being a bit deliberately blind to claim that the rule doesn't allow for some flexibility with this situation.

Good to see Tony Archer has gotten his ref review out quickly and confirmed my theory about the "offside". He also confirmed both sinbins were justified and that the penalties against the Maroons were basically right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxrOBp8vq80

You posted the relevant excerpt yourself:quote:Out of Play 2. An offside player shall not take any part in the game or attempt in any way to influence the course of the game. He chased the kick through and got in the way of a defender, it's a no try. Who's to say what Fifita does if O'Neill is a step or two closer to him when he attempts to gather and put it down? As for Archer, provided it's not a 100% no doubt about it clanger (this one was close) he's going to back his refs.

He's on the opposite side of the defender to the ball - the only way he's in his way is if O'Neil was going to get to the ball by going in the opposite direction to it. Yeah but you can clearly see that O'Neil is running to get himself in the way between Jennings and the ball. Jennings was offsides, so if he'd been the one to reach the ball and touch it down, rather than Fifita, it would have been a no try. O'Neil couldn't see that Jennings was offsides (pretty sure Jennings thought he was onsides too, to be generous) or else he would have gone towards the ball. He was denied the chance to cover Fifita and/or the ball because he had to cover a player who, on review, was definitely offsides AND who was clearly running to ground the ball. Jennings probably would have gotten the try if O'Neil hadn't blocked him, and then it would have been a no try, but because O'Neil played good defense, an illegal try was scored. OTOH it looked like the ref could have made a case for a penalty try on Cronk's sin-binning.

Turns out NSW were justified in turning their backs on Smith because QLD said some mean words to them during the game and it hurt poor Paul Gallen's feelings. Glad they sorted that out.

 Apparently the "mean words" that made Gallen snub Smith's speech were Thurston saying "gently caress your Blues" (http://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/sta...778ad59e9e3bed0) and the Maroons blaming him for NSW's poo poo record and the poor attendance on Wednesday (http://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/sta...01ec19a276c2b1b). Gallen has to have the thinnest skin of any high profile athlete. I wonder what would have happened if his drug suspension had been brought up.

JT sledges a lot and whinges about a lot of poo poo as well but certainly no more than Gallen and he has a meteoric career to back it up. Gallen's a grub, a drug cheat and a chronic whinger and I'm a bit sad he's gone because he typifies the hilarious NSW losing culture over the last decade.ili posted:The blues apparently celebrated 2014's fluke one in a row victory by getting diamond rings made. Makes sense because if Cronk's arm was made from diamond they wouldn't have won a single game
