I relation to the striping rule to cut the confusion out whether there are more than one in the tackle when the ball is stripped change the interpretation to if there were ever more than one in the tackle make it illegal to strip the ball. Our game has two many grey areas!!!

The game is too predictable and boring it is why I haven’t liked the standard over the past couple of years. Anything which brings in unpredictability is good with me to atleast try

I agree with the general thread and like you enjoy the unpredicatability of some players and teams but what other major sport in the world EVERY year looks at rules and interpretations. What we need are less grey areas and less endless replays of tries etc! Why cant they use the technology they use at the olympics for swimming where they show the world record line not to overturn line ball forward pass tries but the rather obvious howlers. This should could be used in real time or a quick replay so shouldnt result in a lenghty delay

There was always grey before with the stripping. Did x player affect the tackle etc so you will never get it perfect.

That would solve a lot of problems but I think it comes down to cost really. Should be a challenge system instead of the current system. It would stop those 50/50 ones going up stairs and wasting time.

Too many stoppages now. Players aren’t getting tired enough and tries aren’t scored as a result.

So just change it back to how it was.... I agree. The new rule (2019) is shit house.

Then it was grey as too whether x player was in the tackle initally

Interesting reading, Ivan managed to brush the May saga pretty safely.

Finally some sensible news.

Western Sydney teams = Western Sydney trials. The Eels trials have been great and even better now the Tigers are involved. Continue to build up the rivalry between these clubs at all times.

Seems silly for Egan to have left us if he could of shared the Hooking duties. I dont think he will see much first grade with the Warriors.

I said this at the time.

I see

6. Tavita-Harris
7. Green
9. Nikorima

being the starting side. Leaving Egan to fight with Tavega etc for the bench

 

[martielang]

Tevaga is seen as a backrower these days isn't he? I think he's injured anyway, but otherwise he's likely lock.

Egan will get plenty of time. I assume they paid decent money to get him across there.

Maybe so but they have plenty of bench hookers

 

[betcats]

If Roache wasn't so injury prone he would be their first choice for sure, Lawton is a decent prospect also. It isnt going to be easy for Wade to get game time.

Roache did his ACL against us last year and Lawton did his shoulder not long after, if not for both needing surgery I think they do not even bother with Egan.

Tevaga played the back half of the year mostly at lock. I thought he went quite well there.

As Betcats said. Roache is always injured. He never seems to string too many games together.

Lawton is not bad.

Egan will get his chance over there but it won't be easy and then there is Supercoach Kearney.

Do many people go to trials? Only a small thing but I’d play them out at Bathurst, build up the support in our second home.

Good idea, probably tough to convince our opponents to head out that way, everything costs.

Maybe they could play against a local side...

Matches between Western Sydney clubs is all I want. Won't be looking at crowd figures. The more the tigers, dogs, eels and Panthers play each other the better.

 

[franklin2323]

Trials are a mess. Players without numbers or different jerseys. I’d rather keep trials local and move a few NSW Cup games to Bathurst. Trials aren’t the best quality

Not this year but I recall a trial match against Parramatta in the last 2 -3 years where we got a crowd @ Penrith in the 12,000- 15,000 range.
It was 2 weeks before round 1.
