It was an audition for Crokers centre spot so they had plenty to play for. I would say that Nick Cotric was pretty good. Eddie Aioni could not have played any worse. I would have Cotric in the lead as far as replacing Croker in the first few weeks go.

Watching that game kills me that we (Leeds) didn't get Kevin Brown from widnes.He's exactly what we need attacking wise and our defence is that good that we can cover for him being a bit of a liability. It was nice seeing us minnows in super league actually win one of these games against the NRL though in the first time since forever, deserved it too

Rebecca loving Wilson still getting poisonous articles about the private lives of players out there even in death. She was a muck raking hack who made a career out of concern-trolling the NRL about off-field issues/rumours and frankly deserved whatever came her way. Still dumb from Foran but he obviously wasn't in the right headspace to let it pass by.

I think Robert Hicks had a shocking game though, our crew is bad but not usually that bad. Puckish Rogue posted:If only they both lost, because gently caress Wigan.

It was offside by the rules of the game, he's in front of the kicker and then within 10m of the catch and try. I'd prefer this was more "encroaches on the play" or similar rather than exactly within 10m. But the decision was correct given the rules.

Not sure if it's subtlely different in the NRL but our version of the rule is: Section 14 (2) states: An active offside player shall not encroach within 10 metres of the ball. An active player is defined as someone “who takes part in and/or influences the game”. Eg. If the player is completely out of play (and in this case he arguably was) then he doesn't count. It's the same rule that was applied to Jennings in origin 3 last year to give Fifita a controversial try.

Any off side player who remains within ten metres of an opponent who is set to catch a kick up field by an opposing player shall be deemed to be interfering with or attempting to interfere with the catcher and shall be penalised unless the non-offending team gains an immediate advantage. I prefer the NRL rules, I can't be arsed to look for the international ones. Edit: the ref in commentary just said this is under international rules, so we should really look at them. I watched the second try finally now, it possibly/maybe hits his left elbow on the way through, and the ref sent it up as no try, knock on, so its correctly no try, you need proof against the refs opinion to overrule. If the ref had ruled try it should have been given. I don't think he's been bad so far and Cronulla are niggly as gently caress. Dirty Frank fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Feb 20, 2017 |

Dirty Frank posted:Actually I'm not sure, so I looked it up. Here are the official rules for English RL (although maybe this match was international rules which are different again) http://www.rugby-league.com/the_rfl/rules/laws_of_the_game/offside The second try was much less questionable for sure, but this is coming from a league where the video ref generally has no expectation of "going with" an on-field decision anymore. Watching the video I just don't think he touches the ball before it hits his leg and for me that is a try. Sharks deserved to lose either way but I can understand why they might have been tilted

I like the NRL version as it was designed for situations like when the dummy half or first receiver puts a little grubber through the line and someone dives on it which would 99% of the time be a No Try as the player playing the ball would be within the 10, although completely irrelevant to play.

That's interesting, I don't see mention of the ball player in the RFL rules but they'd give that as a try anyway. Not so many grubbers in the English game as you can imagine with the size of the in goals. On that note, we adopted the 7 tackles on dead ball rule from the NRL this season and I'm not sure its a good idea here.

I wish they would amend that rule to only be from kicks outside the twenty. It seems super unfair and chilling on little attacking kicks, when it was intended to lessen teams just drilling it out long down the field.

Jono C posted:It also makes no sense for things like knock ons in the in goal area. Yeah, it penalises actual attacking play in extra time rather than just taking potshots at field goals. Any kick you put in the air or roll into the ingoal, even from right on the line, is a massive chance at a 7 tackle set going the other way. I'd pin some of the blame for the ridiculous 40m field-goal sessions we end up getting at the feet of this rule since from that range there's a good chance the ball won't go out so it's "safer" to try.

quote:Tim Simona faces allegations that he arranged bets to be placed on opposition players he was marking to score tries against the Wests Tigers. Yeah, that's not a good thing to do, Tim. That's going past "kicked out of NRL" and into "straight into gaol" territory if its true.
