Wrong on every level. Mitchell wasnt a decoy runner he was a support runner. Cant just disappear and Taylor was never going to get Tupou. Clear try.


What kind of support runner is 2-3m in front of the ball?

He certainly can't disappear, and that is the risk you run by running a decoy line. If you don't get the ball you are now an offside player 100% up to you to avoid obstructing any defender. If it's physically impossible for you to do that, you get penalised

That's how I see it. you may as well penalise a fullback every time he brings the ball back if you're going to penalise that.

Most ridiculous part about it is if they don't score a try they never even consider a penalty for that. But they get the try so they take it back 40 metres for a penalty.

Lol who was burgess covering?!?


The invisible man playing outside the invisible man Ferguson was covering. Seriously Fergo is the worst defensive back in the game, and is never called out on it in the media or by any commentators

This Roosters side have beaten only the Knights and the Rabbitohs in 10 games, and they want to put half of them in NSW jumpers....and they wonder why they lose every year.
