Our Premiership winning 5/8? Your point?

You got nothing.

 

[skeepe]

Well skeepe got it right on the second attempt. Which kind of leaves the door open. Is a team "properly formed" and "ready to contest" if there is no halfback present? Also does the rest of that section include anything about blowing time back on if the formation is broken?

Yeah leaves it open to interpretation I guess, which is stupid because the notes on the laws are supposed to clarify the rules rather than create more ambiguity.

 

[Jason Maher]

Wtf are you on about? It doesn't say anything about both front rows interlocking before the 2nd row can join. It says your own teams front row has to bind before your own 2nd row can join.

Um...

To form a scrum not more than three forwards of either team shall interlock arms and heads and create a clear tunnel at right angles to the touch line.

Buggered if I know how one front row can interlock heads and create a tunnel on their own...

I'm a lurker here but thought I'd chime in with 2 things & I don't follow any of these two teams so it's a non-bias approach: the first is that something needs to be done about the officiating in Golden Point. The referees don't want to make calls that would affect the outcome of the match and the end result is offside players, strips going unnoticed, touches which would extend a teams tackle count being ignored etc.

The other is the back & forth lottery that is kicking a field goal. I think someone else here said it as well, but in my opinion it should be the first to score wins. I think Manly were the better team tonight, their defense was outstanding and Melbourne did look out of the match until late in the 2nd and if they would have won in Golden Point I think it wouldn't have done Manly justice.

Popular Alm was a great horse but he spent too much time at the pub away from his family

 

[Jason Maher]

You got nothing.

Which still leaves me with considerably less than nothing in terms of understanding what the f**k your point was meant to be...

 

[Parra Pride]

First of all, derp for the attempted images.

Secondly, here is the relevant section for time off.

Can't contest a scrum if there is no one to feed the ball.

 

[no name]

Um...

After re reading, it doesn't mention anything about the order of when they have to pack.

 

[skeepe]

Can't contest a scrum if there is no one to feed the ball.

So does that apply to when the non-feeding team want to stop the clock? Or does it only apply when the team with the feed wants to stop the clock?

 

[BunniesMan]

Obviously you cannot contest a scrum if you have no halfback. You sort of need a halfback to feed the ball. No halfback, no feed. No feed, no scrum. derp

 

[Parra Pride]

So does that apply to when the non-feeding team want to stop the clock? Or does it only apply when the team with the feed wants to stop the clock?

The non feeding team obviously wouldn't have someone to feed the ball, but they'd still have to have someone standing in place of the half to stop their clock.

 

[skeepe]

Obviously you cannot contest a scrum if you have no halfback. You sort of need a halfback to feed the ball. No halfback, no feed. No feed, no scrum. derp

So if the team without the feed wants time off, the team feeding the scrum just has to keep the halfback away and the ref can't call time off? Is that what you're saying?

 

[BranVan3000]

Keep the halfback away? What is that even supposed to mean?

 

[MSIH]

You're embarrassing yourself now.

Golden try wouldn't work, look how long it took tonight between tries. Unless you made it unlimited time

Otherwise golden try period might as well just equal a draw

Agree on both points

Man of the match: Matt Cecchin (Manly Sea Eagles)

Open ur eyes genius, Cecchin was pathetic for both sides

 

[Beachy Eagle]

What a game of footy from both side.
No disrespect to Melbourne cause they can only play the whistle, but 6-1 penalty count second half and a missed 6 again and strip call in extra time... Manly we're unbelievable to get a draw in that game missing troops and away in Melbourne
So proud of my club
Great game, great result not to give in.
Again not dissin Melbourne as they were great as well.

You should be proud of Cecchin most of all. Without him, Melbourne win in normal time.
