Wasn't this the guy that allowed the no-tackle try in the 96 Grand Final?

Glass houses and that

That was David Manson.

Fresh twist in Tigers saga: Holmes should’ve been penalised for illegal kick-off

The NRL has admitted the call that cost the Tigers a stunning win was wrong. Now they have another problem.

www.smh.com.au

So the Captain challenge by James Tamou was NOT allowed claiming the kick was illegal and called offside..Ref says already cleared.....mmmmm

Kick offs have been taken in that style for years, and with penalties been given as the emphisis is more on the other players. Even Rugby Union has to apply that same agle of approach to the ball in their 10 yard kick offs.

We've got rid of Noffasnoozer for the rest of the year so I'm happy that we've been compensated.

 

[GongPanther]

The amount of errors proves we need the bunker. Just need refs to follow the rules

I suppose with online gaming, it keeps it honest...to some degree.

Some talk that the audio is now with the commission and is looking a tad ugly for the NRL. Like everything else that has a bad smell for the NRL it will be swept under the rug or a deal will be struck

So after hearing the NRL explanation.

Why couldn't Canberra challenge Hunt being offside v Dragons?

I think the raiders blew their challenge earlier in the game.

SOO 1 then. NSW wanted a penalty at the end, Had challenges but the game was ended without giving them a change to challenge. It is a stupid rule to now say you can

Agree. Anyway, I'll be listening for the short and long whistles at the end of every half of footy I watch from here to eternity.

A shame the club's longest serving current player is thought of in such a way. Take the last 24 months out of the equation, he's been a great servant for the club.

But there wasn't a short whistle!

Longest serving AND most handsome.

Unless something happens at the end of the game (like a push and shove), the short whistle is immediately followed by the long whistle. Teams won't have much time to get their challenges in.

Both teams should just scream "challenge!!!!" Non stop for the last 60 seconds of the game, just in case.

One of them is bound to sneak in between the short whistle and the long whistle

Can you generally make the distinction between the two whistles? I can't say I've ever noticed a short followed by a long, unless we're talking my coffee drinking habits.

Have a look at this. Fast forward to about 7:10 when Reed Mahoney gets away with one of the most blatant voluntary tackles ever seen.

You'll notice a whistle to stop play. A couple of seconds pause, and then the full-time whistle.



Compare it to this one, where the short whistle to stop play, leads directly into the full-time whistle. About 6:15 into video.

A very well paid 'servant'. Hastings into halfback this week so things are looking up for us.
