Rd9: Parra v Knights GAME DAY thread 12/7/20

[IFR33K]

Have to say, Lane played his worst game for us today.

seemed disinterested, I don’t actually know if he did touch the touch line on the kickoff but he shouldn’t have been in a position with it possibly looked like he was (and if that close why not stick your foot on it as you catch it and we’d have a penalty at half way), and I reckon he gave away at least 3 set restarts with lazy efforts after completing a tackle.

His form is way down on last years! May need a rest

Yea sin bin. But I was responding to Sphagnums post that said it should have been awarded a try. it can’t be a try.

Yeah I see that, I'm just pointing out it really had to be either a try or a sin bin, I can't see any wriggle room for the ref there at all.

Unsure if it was deliberate or clumsy.

The advantage rule is really inconsistent. 99% of the time Gutho gets called back and Reed scores.

I understand the ruling on reeds try. If there was an infringement, I get its not play on for a try and i dont think its a sin bin. ... but i just dont think it was a penalty. There are dozens of play the balls like that every weekend that result in nothing

 

[yy_cheng]

Yeah ... and giving the 2 to penrith because, well just because

And they are giving our 3 dally m pts to cleary

 

[84 Baby]

Well it makes sense given they already gave the 2 points to Korisau

I'm still confused why Reed was not allowed to play on.

Assume wiki is correct

Advantage
"Advantage" is the period of time after an infringement, in which the non-offending side have the opportunity to gain sufficient territory or tactical opportunity to negate the need to stop the game due to the infringement. The referee will signal advantage with their arm out horizontally, toward the non-infringing team. If no tactical or territorial advantage is gained, the referee will whistle, and give the decision that had been delayed. If sufficient advantage is gained, the referee will call "advantage over", and play will continue. The Advantage Law allows the game to flow more freely, and not stop for every minor infringement.

Who is suggesting this and for what reason?

Hindy111 needs a rest

The rule is two wrongs don’t make a right. Like a double knock on. The question is whether Decore’s play the ball was correct or not

Watch the replay and sutton does not blow the penalty until after reed scores...try should have been awarded

 

[hineyrulz]

No he just needs a rest I feel. He isn't dangerous anymore.

It might be time for you to have another rest.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Thought Field did pretty good defensively. Was targeted at times but made most of his tackles.

Ok.... it wasn’t like he waited 3 tackles to call the penalty.
FYI I think the play the ball was fine. Gets to his feet, plays it fine and gets pushed as he’s playing it. A captains challenge would’ve been interesting

they would have found a way to penalise us

 

[84 Baby]

Steve Chiddy - “Kalyn Ponga is within 10m of the play the ball, playing on from here, Marata Niukore fails to play the ball correctly within Kalyn Ponga’s vicinity. We have a decision.”
NO TRY

Forum copping ain’t easy........


Whinging about what people post, same boring shit from Suity. Grow up.

Mate, Suity's not wrong. I get why you would be pissed off at him calling you out, but he's not wrong.

All these repetitious jokes get boring, then outright annoying the longer they go on. Surely you can see that? Imagine if every time you turned on the tele the same comedian was on, telling the same joke. It would have lost whatever appeal it originally had real quick.

Unless you can change or add to it in some way that makes it fresh and unexpected again. But you haven't and so it just isn't funny. Period.

So don't get your knickers in a knot if the peanut gallery boo you off stage for being a stinker. Repetitive bad humour deserves it. Think of it as comedic Darwinism. It keeps humour evolving, fresh and alive. If we all just kept repeating the one joke we felt comfortable in telling, comedy would very quickly wither and die. It needs to keep changing for its very existence.

Or are you the guy at the office that when people see you coming they say, 'quick look busy or he will tell us again how exciting everything is with a big stupid grin on his face?'

You don't want to be that guy, do you?

He spent most of the second half in the middle. That means a lot more tackling and a lot less running at halfbacks.

"AND SIN BIN THAT MERKIN, NIUKORE, FOR COMING WITHIN 10M OF PONGA."

I agree - Lane did a good job.

The NRL app has hos stats as 108m, 42 tackles, and 2 offloads.

Just because he isn't breaking the line like last year doesn't mean he isn't contributing.

And a lot of Lane's runs were tough runs, coming out of our own end.

I reckon he's going a great job.

Made f**ken heaps of tackles. They didn't have any trouble getting at him but the little fella kept getting his body in front. Now I understand why Arthur's picked him.
