Almost all props do it, and the ones that dont lift the knees.


Seems stupid to me that forearming to the face is illegal but palming isnt

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It is illegal. That's the point.

If it was illegal he'd get penalised for it. And probably suspended.

You can do more damage with your forearm than you can with your palm. You can't fend with a closed fist.

You can do more damage with your forearm than you can with your palm. You can't fend with a closed fist.

So why are high tackles with an open palm illegal for defenders?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You can do more damage with your forearm than you can with your palm. You can't fend with a closed fist.

You can fend with anything you've got at the end of your arm. Even two fingers aimed at the other bloke's eyes.

This is a man's sport.

Are you seriously unaware that a forearm can do more a lot more damage than a palm? Seriously?

:crazy:

 

[Raider_69]

Where was hayne on that try?

Your incessant whinging is damaging my precious little mind.

 

[God-King Dean]

Yes! Great grubber Boyd. Hopefully Saints just kick chipping away & not let the time scare them.

A penalty in front of Parra's post would be nice....

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Where was hayne on that try?

He was all over it lol

 

[Pete Cash]

Where was hayne on that try?

He was hard to spot because he was practically off screen but he was the guy watching the Dragons score.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Where was hayne on that try?

Did they score in the middle third?

 

[Danish]

A palm strike to the face "can" be equally serious. Either can very easily break someone's nose with very little effort.

Both should be illegal IMO

 

[Pete Cash]

Did they score in the middle third?

:lol:

You haven't got a penalty anywhere in 60 minutes, you think you'll get one in front of the posts in the last 20?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

:lol:

No I'm serious, it's not on live down here.

Hayne just barely beaten to a grubber in the corner from 15 out = poor positioning

Dugan easily beaten to a lofted kick to the corner from 30+m out = wingers fault

One was the fullbacks ball the other was the wingers..... hint its not the way you seem to see it.

 

[Raider_69]

So i guess we can scrub parra fans idea that dugabn was responsible for the JYY try, given it wasnt in the middle third. Slater one too was probably on the outer third, was close though

but i guess it shows how much i know about the sport, i wasnt aware the fullbacks only responsibility was the middle third
superhayne flew over the top of the ball... missed the ball and man. Smart player like dugan would have taken the man and stopped the try, not watch the ball bounce like a douchebag and flew over the top of the man without laying a glove on him
