2017 R10 - Sea Eagles 14-24 Broncos @ Suncorp

[Life's Good]

It's what I thought but sure i saw one given a couple weeks back after it bounced.

You may have mate given the lack of consistency.

One bad bunker decision away from a Broncos win as predicted.

 

[wibble]

I've never understood why that's not a penalty. It's another ridiculous rule, he was every bit as high as he would be contesting a bomb.

It's because the rule was never, ever about player safety, as the NRL claims. If it was, attacking players would get the same protection, as would players after a bounce.

It was clearly only introduced to make defending bombs easier, to deter "boring" football.

 

[t-ba]

Bleh.

 

[Hutty1986]

Broncs will be bloody hard to stop now. Seagles needed at least one try from all that possession about ten minutes ago.

Edit-and they score

 

[Frank_Grimes]

Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Bazal]

Cause players will jump randomly and claimed tackled in the air, should have caught it on the full

Pretty easy to police a random jump as opposed to what happened there....

 

[coolsteve]

so u can get tackled in the air now. f**ked refs

 

[skeepe]

Lol.

 

[Smack]

wow what a collapse

Pretty much spot on....

ball bounced mate

 

[wibble]

Teams swapped jerseys at half time again.

You can't be tackled in the air when contesting a kick as a defender. He was contesting a bouncing ball. Play on.

 

[Red Bear]

Kevin Walters is insufferable

 

[t-ba]

Wind in the Broncs sails. Oh well...

 

[Life's Good]

Walters barring up. I could hear his c*ck touch the mic.

 

[Cockadoodledoo]

TT has awesome talent but makes more mistakes than I have had baked dinners, not ready for origin at fullback.

 

[icewind]

Ball bounced before catching it.
also LOL at not playing to the whistle.

 

[skeepe]

Pretty much spot on....

Where do you draw the line then? If someone has to jump to catch a pass, does a defender need to stand there and wait for him to land?
