Idris in

Pretty weak attempt at a tackle from Cordoba

 

[Ausguy]

Soft. Farkin hopless.

 

[nathanbrown'sghost]

Barba just took them apart.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Why would the Sharks go for a penalty goal? Deadset. Matthew Reick must be itching to get back out there for his old club and show them how it's done...

 

[Rovelli]

Barba is some talent. You take the bad with the really really good.

 

[Meth]

Geeeez this kid Barba is great to watch. Great footwork.

It's a good thing the Sharks took that goal while it was on offer. Maybe a field goal next?

 

[skeepe]

Is there a case for a penalty try there? I would have thought it was Goodwin's illegal tackle that carried him into touch

No. The kicking team is fair game when in the air.

 

[Rovelli]

Ferguson in - will go to the video again

 

[Meth]

Fergusson in- good for the match as a contest

 

[nathanbrown'sghost]

Ferguson gets one eventually

 

[Rovelli]

Sharks begin their comeback.

Bulldogs 18-8.

 

[Meth]

No. The kicking team is fair game when in the air.

huh?

Are you saying a defender can tackle an attacking player mid-air?

 

[skeepe]

huh?

Provided they have the ball, yes.

 

[Meth]

Tandy is a great pick up for the Bulldogs

 

[Meth]

Provided they have the ball, yes.

Geez. Given how paranoid the NRL is about players being lifted in tackles, that's a bizarre rule

 

[Meth]

Oh Lord

 

[Rovelli]

Going upstairs for another Canterbury try.

 

[skeepe]

Geez. Given how paranoid the NRL is about players being lifted in tackles, that's a bizarre rule

Without the rule in place, all an attacking player would have to do is catch the ball in the air in goal and the defender wouldn't be able to do anything to stop him scoring.

 

[skeepe]

:lol: what a disgraceful decision. That's disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

 

[Meth]

Without the rule in place, all an attacking player would have to do is catch the ball in the air in goal and the defender wouldn't be able to do anything to stop him scoring.

Sure

Does it only apply in the action of scoring a try? Or only in-goal? Or anywhere on the park?
