This game is so similar to last night's game

Two in-form teams rolling over the top of shit/injured teams?

That + one side getting all the luck and all the calls.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Jesus christ, Sandow has been a passenger

 

[typicalfan]

Corey Norman is single handedly responsible for at least 2 Warriors tries. Missing in attack and woeful defensively. Plodder.

Yep has gone from average to woeful

Lol swings and roundabouts mate we have been on the end of enough games were we are reffed out if the contest to know it happens to everyone

For the record it's not like the refs have scored 36 points for us but whatever

sandow -3 Sc points atm, lol

The Warriors forwards pushed back and then held onto the Eels forwards after the ball was distributed. The pushed scrum also obstructed the Eels backs that were on that side of the scrum. Tomkins took advantage of the obstruction by running into space that about 8 players would have got there easily.

I'm guessing you've only been watching footy from the 90's onwards. There was nothing wrong with it.

 

[MacDougall]

Absolutely nothing wrong with it.

The 3 Warriors front rowers had hold of the 3 Eels front rowers. They were then pushed into the 3 Eels backrowers. The scrummage blocked the passage of the outside backs to cover. This was all fine except for that the moment the ball came out Tomkins ran into space that the Eels forwards were prevented from reaching. If Tomkins passes wide there is no obstruction. If the Warriors forwards let go the moment Tomkins picked up the ball there would be no obstruction because the Warriors players were not breaking the rules by scrummaging. Instead the Warriors forwards were still pushing almost until the moment Tomkins scored. Clearly an obstruction. If the scrum breaks and one prop keeps hold of another is that not an obstruction?

The rules aren't the same as they were in the 1985. This isn't Rugby Union. The obstruction rule is clearly outlined. Show me where there is an exception to the Obstruction rule in the rule book that refers to scrummaging.

looking like a training run for warriors

Not at all the Warriors have been sensational and the Eels defense has been atrocious. But, alas, soft penalties, and unlucky deflections and a few incorrect calls have helped them somewhat. Nowhere near being responsible for the result though.

sandow -3 Sc points atm, lol

Makes sense, he's invisible out there.

You say this when your team is winning. That's okay. I'd just like to see the game officiated consistently for a change.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Wish Mateo would leg drive like that on every run

 

[MacDougall]

Take the 2. Put some points on the board lol.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Nice 40/20 by sandow has a great kick on him at times

 

[MacDougall]

Corey Abnorman.

 

[no name]

Has there been a 40-20 that hasn't lead to a penalty???

They need to change it to a scrum or play the ball.

Good call Parra milked that.
