I took the word "advantage" you used into different context. I fought you MIGHT be implying they're milking it. Sorry.

All good mate.
Warriors deserved their 3 try's, my issue is with what has become of the game and the ridiculous rulings that have come into the game.

Warriors deserve their lead and have played well especially given the adversity and players missing.

Yup, though by the black and white rule is correct doesn't make it a good call. Yes contact was man with a player behind the defensive line, but it isn't what causes a 10m gap to open up. That was all Kata rushing up.

I personally would like to go back to ex player discretion on obstruction once the season is over, black and white may be more consistent but it isn't a better ruling.

Keep black and white for the rest of this season though.

That's not what caused the gap. Kata was on the left of Robson, and Benji stepped off his right and ran on Robson's inside right shoulder. Guess who was defending on 1 inside from Robson? Hoffman, who the decoy runner made clear contact with.

Kata rushing up and missing Benji created an overlap which Benji should have used. Instead he ran into the Hoffman size gap in the defensive line.

Seriously, if nothing else it's sloppy execution if a decoy make full on contact with a defender. You have nothing to whinge about if you are punished.
 

This Year?

Rein, you are not Cameron Smith.

Please no forward passes from dummy half.

Dragons fans xoxo
