Rumours and Stuff

[T-Boon]

I am not a fan of this rule interpretation they have brought in where it is obvious there is a benefit of doubt going to the defensive team in strip calls. This "no stripping action/motion" we are now hearing (Parra was on the wrong end of a bad one last week).
My problem with it is they happen when there is a defender's hand all over the ball trying to lock the ball up but not completing the tackle - all as part of a wrestling/gang tackle tactic.
Just about every problem in the reffing of the game comes from wrestling/gang tackle tactics.
I'd give the benefit of doubt in those ones depending on whether there is 2 or less in the tackle (in which case B of D to defending team) or if there is 3 or more in the tackle (B of D to attacking team).

6 agains can f**k right off as well.

We already have enough Morgan Harper types in the roster. In the outside backs it's Samrani. In the halves it's Hawkins and Volkman. In the forwards we have Doorey and Mataele. Every club needs backups in their mid-20s.

Thanks pou but you'd be the last person I require advice on rugby league and how to structure a roster , you are nothing more than a bomb thrower who tries to get a reaction out of people, your constant belittling of fellow forumites says more abt you than the people you attack

How about just giving the ball back to the player and having him play the ball? Unless it's an obvious strip or drop.

So many merkins still getting riled up over Pou. He's been at it for years, the Rubik's Cube of the forum. Keep on Pouing on, Pou.

I made a comment about rugby league and you made it about me. That's says plenty about you.

Working class people are happy to disagree, but they don't like it when you present a rational argument with evidence. Suddenly you're a lowlife merkin who thinks your opinion is the only one that matters.

 

[Delboy]

Delboy thinks because he attends under 15s games in Baulkham Hills that he has the inside scoop at the club. Then he believes what he's told instead of thinking for himself. You can't be pulled up for aggressively singling merkins out if you're passive aggressively singling them out.

Seriously you’re an idiot, just accept that you don’t know much. I haven’t attended junior games for a few years but have solid contacts, so stop being a child when someone suggests you are incorrect .

If you spent less time trying to be superior in your judgement than others, you maybe slightly more accepted. Mostly you just use some sort of circular , infantile insults that proves you are far from what you believe you are.

Too many merkins get their feathers ruffled on here. We all talk shit at times, you have perfected the art. I don't care, it adds to the forum. No sleep is lost.

@Delboy is first, right?

Dude… it was right there!

Mate, you're being trolled by a pro. Just lay back and enjoy the experience.

Implying that your solid contacts mean you're always right? I don't doubt you have contacts, and I'm sure some of what they tell you is legit, but you're not understanding the difference between fact and assessment. Your contacts repeatedly telling you that Serdaris and MON are the problem is an assessment (an opinion that is informed, or otherwise, by facts and logic). I have no doubt there is a solid body of petty, resentful whingers in rugby league circles. People very quick to form an opinion and look for somebody to blame. The prevalence of this sort of person in rugby league is why I am certain you have these contacts. I have no doubt they would share their gossip with the likes of you.

If you spent less time trying to be superior in your judgement than others, you maybe slightly more accepted. Mostly you just use some sort of circular , infantile insults that proves you are far from what you believe you are.

I'd say I am exactly the right amount of accepted on here.

I'd rather just talk rugby league but there's just so many smartarses who don't like their shit opinions challenged. They make it personal and suddenly it's no longer about footy.

Did we just lose ?

Road trips fix everything.

Seems like it. Between next Thursday night until the end of the weekend will be interesting. Best we are prepared.

Not me:



Let's go Tigers.

 

[Happy MEel]

Back to footy, I’d rather Hawkins be given the 6 next year if we don’t get a quality replacement between now and then. Hawkins can organise a side in attack and his kicking gives us a genuine option, which allows Moses to run the ball more. He’s no worse in defence than Joash as well.

Shaun Lane has announced his next career move HERE and I am hearing his Eels future will be announced next week.

I hope he does well in the next stage of his life.

Here here MJC. He has taken up way too
Much cap over the last 3 years, but I wish him every success
