2021 R22 Fri - Brisbane 20-21 Sydney @ Suncorp

[Exsilium]

Are you referring to the crusher last week? That should have just been a penalty.

Kikau was a missile! Hit the head and neck region. Should have been binned.

 

[Sonny83]

Broncos deadset robbed. Rorters = NRL protected species category. Just like the Storm.

you must've had the same melt down last yr GF lol

Hmm...

In the case of foul play, it can only be challenged by a team which has been penalised. All other incidents of
foul play are separately reviewed by the Bunker.

Forget the two points, all I really want is Graham Annesley to look deep into his webcam and apologise sullenly. That will make everything right.

Also not sure about Klein's claim of Butcher never playing the ball.

David Mead, Alex Glenn, Adam Keighran, Dale Copley and Danny Levi.

What a grim f**king crew that is.

If this were the pound, they'd be put down.

In the wild, they'd be eaten.

You get the idea.

I believe it is the rule. In the context of a charge down, if rads got the ball there and still contacted Kelly in the same manner it is play on.

Just checked the rules and they are actually quiet on the whole thing (about going for the standing leg); it could be looked at in a couple of areas.
- spearing the legs of an opponent is foul play
- you can tackle a kicker if you start your dive before they kick (it is actually the kickers responsibility to kick before the tackler starts to tackle; ie the onus is on them to kick in good time, rather than the tackler to ensure that the kicker hasnt already kicker).

Of course, there may be some NRL specific by-laws and judiciary charging guidance, but from my reading their doesn't seem to be something specific that Radley did. Still, not a great look and one that can really injure a player.

If you can't accidentally glance a guy in the face when your hand physically touches the ball there's no way you should be allowed to attack the legs of the bloke kicking the ball

It's just there hasn't been any sort of major injury as to a reason why they haven't come down hard on it, if someone went for a charge down and severely injured the kicker they'd write a black and white rule on it for sure

Sounds like you are after common sense and consistency. Are you new to rugby league?

 

[Nerd]

We lost the count

Penalty count was 7-6 to the Roosters

 

[Sphagnum]

Brisbane almost winning this just reinforces how bad Parra are.

 

[Cockosh]

Penalty count was 7-6 to the Roosters

Yeah 7-6 penalties
1-3 6 agains
We lost the count 9-8
They are all infringements

 

[mxlegend99]

Say what you will about Kevvie's coaching, but listening to his presser he is a class act.

Can you imagine if the result had of gone the other way....

Just had a listen. Really awesome to see him take it in his stride. Robbo definitely wouldn't have copped the loss that well if result went the other way. Not many coaches would be that classy tbh.

 

[Saxon]

hahahaha as if every team doesnt slow it down if in front with a minute to go

Yeah, but the way your boys do it is just f**king embarrassing. Honestly looks like they don't believe they can keep the ball secure for a few tackles and are too scared to play football.

 

[Vee]

Giants did what now?


No shit. Final quarter, GWS 105 Richmond 47

Get a room, you and your gay fl-loving boyfriend.

The guidelines seem pretty murky.
Another thing I noticed per the link you provided is that the Roosters challenged the call of knock on. That is the call that made the whistle blow. The tackle on Tupinua was deemed play on and you can’t stop the play to challenge a call that has been called play on.

The refs ask the captains specifically what they want to challenge. When Teddy said, I want to challenge the high tackle, he should have said you can’t challenge that.

In messy plays in the future, can captains challenge the call (if a whistle is blown) and go referee style and say we challenge the whole play, please check for everything?
The bunker shouldn’t have even been looking at the Tupinua tackle, should have started the vision from when Butcher gained possession.

Last week Penrith specifically challenged a knock on and ended up getting a penalty for foul play.

 

[Valheru]

Teddy last night

29 runs
271 run metres
1 try
1 try assist
1 line break
1 line break assist
9 tackle breaks

What a shit game.

I missed that. I don’t reckon they should be able to.
Like I said the rules are murky. Whichever way the call went last night, there was going be people pissed off.
Another NRL rule change where the process wasn’t completely thought through.

Completely agree. The captains challenge is a mess.

Klein as referee, Perenara in the bunker - what could go wrong
