[Cumberland Throw]

What's crowds thoughts 19000 ??

 

[chrisD]

Turned scrappy now.

 

[Danish]

Was Champion offside? He was in front of the kicker.

certainly was. Well in front and was always inside the 10.

Seemed like the refs just didnt even think about it, nor did anyone in the commentary box

 

[Tommy Smith]

It's painful watching Fien play. Rather like watching a wounded horse that needs putting down.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Have the ground markings shifted north ??

haha thats a good description of fiensy

 

[northwest9]

here i was thinking souths were exploiting slightly talented, but heavily geniused players in the burgesssss

but wow, the dragons have really got some "special" talents amongst them

also, was i the only one who, when i saw sowards face of disappointment from the corner post camera, immediately thought, well, first of hundreds this year??

 

[tumbidragon]

Rabbits making hey up the middle at will.

 

[Parra Pride]

Think he's dropped this.

 

[chrisD]

I'd give that, but couldn't overturn the call.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Can you kick at it ??

 

[Tommy Smith]

Why is that not a penalty try???

 

[Big Pete]

Shouldn't that be a professional foul?

 

[blaza88z]

why isn't that a penalty try?

 

[tumbidragon]

Would that not be a penalty try then???

 

[Gmac]

At Least I've seen fien touch The ball. Apart from the 40/20 I don't recall soward doing anything!
In the last set I counted 7 dragon players bludging behind the ruck. Maybe I'm being too harsh, still two weeks before round 1.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Is that Luke pattons first f**k up ?

 

[Danish]

well clearly the obstruction rule is just completely different to the guidelines if this isn't a penalty to saints. I mean FFS the decoy runner ran through and clearly obstructed a defender.

Then apparently kicking the ball out is a penalty... but not a penalty try??

Refs need these trials more than the players do it seems

 

[Parra Pride]

why isn't that a penalty try?

Going to say because Nightingale's boot didn't actually make contact with the ball.

 

[tumbidragon]

Fien kicks early. And still manages too find Inglis's chest...
