2017 R23 Sat - Storm 16-13 Roosters @ AAMI

[Smack]

penalty on the advice of referee's boss, smith

Nice forearm to the moosh by Juju there. And the Roosters wonder why the whistle is not their friend.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Lol who is running the agenda here?

The onus is on the defender to not put the opposing player in a dangerous position whilst attempting a tackle. The defender is allowed to get himself into a position to catch the football.

If the attacking player then lands on him and ends up in a dangerous position it isn't really his fault.

Like I said, watch the replay again.

The defender in this case took no attempt to get the ball. The defenders hands were only to make contact with Ferguson whilst he was the the air.

The attackimg player takes the risk by putting himself into that position. How should defenders defend these plays? Stand there and wait for him to come down?

By tackling the player in the air without putting them in a dangerous position.

Its pretty simple

 

[This Year?]

That 10 minutes went fast.

 

[Pedge1971]

The difference is penalties (incl penalty tries). Nothing in it in terms of general play....

Nail on head here.

Great defence Roosters

 

[This Year?]

If Gus was commentating he'd say the Storm are like Boa constrictors.

I fkn loathe that penalty.

When will the NRL learn that quality legs tackles need to be rewarded, not penalised.

 

[TheFrog]

We will never play for penalties....what a load of shite.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Too many kids in our team

[soc123_au]

WTF was that!

 

[Unscrupulous]

We will never play for penalties....what a load of shite.

4 years of clearly not doing it whilst teams like yours have always had players that thrash around on the ground like they're having an epileptic fit.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Vuniculo dickhead legs first should be sent off

 

[Danish]

How is this not a f**king send off? This is the biggest f**king knee lift in the history of the NRL

 

[OzDragon]

LMAO dafuq

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Looool Vunivalu you f**king moron

 

[Bowzy]

Should be in the bin for that blatant knee
