Is that the love child of Flacco and Sandman?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Those two used to give me the shits.

 

[Gronk]

Huge news.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I can't believe his previous club let him go. Whoever they are.

 

[Gronk]

I bet BA never spoke to this kid either.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

When you've got no footwork, go with the head step. Used to fool merkins right up until about under 12s.

The other one still has the fancy stepper covered

Sliding defence sorts out the fancy steppers.

BIg League mag goneskis (for at least 2020 anyway).

Why are they switching to a single referee now? ... what has changed? .... we only want one referee getting covid? Cost cutting?

People still buy that shit?
It’s made of paper ffs! Get your team list from the Internet like everyone else you fossils.

I’m more concerned about this new ‘6 again’ rule for ruck infringements. Why bring it in now after the season has already started and without it even being trialed anywhere before? Makes no sense.

Dunno if that is a definite change yet or just talk

Oh f**k, its a definite thing .... the post Todd era has started very Todd-like

 

[T.S Quint]

Am I correct in thinking it’s a discretionary penalty where the ref can choose to either give a full penalty or just call six more tackles?

If so this is just more unneeded pressure to be put on the refs.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Not really. It just means when in doubt he'll give six again rather than a penalty. It also means he'll be more likely to give six again than allow defenders to slow the ruck.

I'm expecting a return to 2001-style rolling up the field and defences constantly on the back foot, which won't suit the likes of Junior Paulo. I'm expecting to see more milking as well, as refs will be more inclined to give six again than they were to blow penalties. Whinging dummy halves with their hands in the air on every tackle. Do us proud Gutho.

On the flipside that would suit Paulo in attack

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah he would be unstoppable if he wasn't fingered from the previous defensive set. But I reckon even quick middles like Evans, Niukore and Terepo would be a lot more effective.
