    '14 // R20 // Fri // Knights 16-12 Roosters // Hunter

    Think yesterday was the most frustrating game I've watched as a neutral I felt the refs favoured the Knights as is the case often with home ground advantage. But after the JWH sinbinning and the way they dealt with the bad calls I knew it probably wasn't going to be the roosters night. I was...

    Ref Watch 2014 (aka the Skeepe Thread)

    Agreed. If theres no evidence to overturn their decision, then I liked the old method of refs call after they've all had time to look at it. If they think something's not a try or a try and then they refer it it then ultimately they're not even confident with their decision. The rabbits...

    Refereeing was appalling

    Heremeia is ahead of Robertson throughout, until MR breaks a tackle and does a right foot step whereby Heremeia gets ready to make the tackle as he heads his way, (but the rule above speaks about the player not in possession, DCE, Heremeia is never behind DCE), this is where DCE knows they will...

    The annual finals system debate thread

    As a Warriors fan, I bagged the system last year when we were bundled out from 5th, I still prefer the AFL system. Yes the Warriors, are lucky to survive in that we were smashed in wk1, and anything could have gone, my argument last year, but I disagree that we would be undeserving if we win, we...

    Gerard Beale quickest over 40m in the comp?

    stats might not lie but they can be deceptive, not knowing the specifics as to how it was timed + wind conditions etc., there are other factors to consider. eg. offseason was most likely summer so great conditions for sprinting, i was at the gatorade bolt, it was freezing cold, terrible...

    '11 | Women in League R16 | Sun | Warriors 8-16 Storm | Mt Smart

    Unbelievable, well actually when you've been playing backrowers in the centres all year I can(actually beat storm last time doing that) but when your winger and fullback get injured you drop your most consistent winger/centre all year and fill the centres with players you've been playing as...

    '11 | R15 | Fri | Broncos 21-14 Dragons | Suncorp #nrlbristi

    Not sure what constitutes a first grade side as teams have players missing throughout the season, just how it goes, don't follow the Broncos too closely but having a look, 2 out of their four losses 2 i think were when rep players were missing, the other was a 2 point loss in round 1, while the...

    Ricky Stuart

    I was critical of Ricky (not on these forums) because he was being hypocritical with his positional selections by saying they had to be specialists then not sticking with it, which just frustrates fans and players trying to get into the team i assume. also disappointed when he said that one win...

    '11 | R14 | Sun | Warriors 22-26 Tigers | Mt Smart #nrlwarwes

    can't believe how Beau Ryan has conned everyone with the put down of the last try. He had no downward pressure can be seen from the sideon angles, particularly when watched in real time (from any angle). from the front on angle when they slowed it down it was deceptive that he had his hand on...

    '11 | R14 | Sun | Warriors 22-26 Tigers | Mt Smart #nrlwarwes

    just watching the replay in AUS, was in front ofthe kicker but did not give chase and so was not within ten metres when ball was contested, (the kick went deep into in goal). after the spill accelerated from no where to get there so fair try.

    Archer wins the grand final

    It shouldn't matter who deserved the win, or if this call evens up that call. eg. Morris runs out, roosters get the ball. We then don't see the dragons from the kickoff set kick to leilua who is believed to 'knock on'. I as much as every other fan just want to see decent refereeing so there is...

    '10 PREMIERS | Dragons 32-8 Roosters | Grand Final | ANZ

    wow, at least I know why we never win origin, knocked out by that? ( in all fairness he probably got knocked out on contact with the ground, but it was reported, what a joke)

    '10 PREMIERS | Dragons 32-8 Roosters | Grand Final | ANZ

    think anastas try was fair game. The dragons were desperate to force the ball as well. They only blew up after Getting beat to it

    The annual finals system debate thread

    I think people have always had their views and preferences and don't simply just knock the system because their team is out but just become more vocal about making their views public. I actually think its been a pretty well debated thread rather than simply whingeing, the different views of...

    The annual finals system debate thread

    My personal issue with the system is that team number 5/6 loses, and their punishment can be something from just playing away the next week, which they just did or going out completely depending on other results. The reliance on other results for their fate is what I personally don't like. You...

    '10 | QF4 - 1 v 8 | Sun | Dragons 28-0 Sea Eagles | WIN Jubilee (MAN elim)

    If it was illegal and they saw it, they should have penalised it instead of letting the set play out and for the dragons to score until even raising the issue. Watmough is probably wrong for giving him a gobful but to sin bin him is pretty big after giving him a talking to for a play not...

    '10 | QF4 - 1 v 8 | Sun | Dragons 28-0 Sea Eagles | WIN Jubilee (MAN elim)

    decent effort I guess but considering that is where Watmough defends, and he is not there for who knows why is nothing special. If this game were tight, that sinbin call probably wouldn't have even occurred.

    The annual finals system debate thread

    to rely on other results I think is not really the best system. I mean the 4v5 game they can go from playing for nothing but home advantage next week to what has eventuated and skip to 3rd week with other knocked out. In 04 5th dragons lost by a point and got knocked out iirc, then the year...

    '10 | QF1 - 4 v 5 | Fri | Titans 28-16 Warriors | Skilled (NZW elim)

    looked like moon calledfor the passfrom Manu. Which is pretty disappointing since he didn't even lay a hand on what he should have been ready for.

    '10 | R25 | Fri | Rabbitohs 24-16 Eels | ANZ

    Fair enough then if its a knock on. The forward pass rule has had me confused all year with the backwards from the hands concept. Wesser and Kris Keating in my opinion have been pushing it all year with their long left to right passes, the ball always seems to be caught in front from where it...
