2023 R26 Fri - Warriors 18-6 St Geo Illa @ Go Media

[Mr. Shaman]

m888888 it’s an absolutely clear correct call lol

Yeah, but Gee is a f**king cheat who should drink concrete

 

[Bazal]

AFAIK you need to ground it on purpose (however they judge that).... same as when the fullback can take the ball in their own in-goal, ball can hit the ground when in their grasp, but they can get up and keep going.

I mean it's simpler than that even for this one you can't ground a ball by trying to pick it up.

He's forced the ball onto the ground.
Absolutely clear.

They regularly call it grounded when someone gets ankle tapped and the ball touches the ground.

He's forced the ball onto the ground.
Absolutely clear.

This is the first game thread in weeks where I’m not massively drunk so I know you’re wrong

 

[Mr Angry]

it was grounded, why does intention matter?

There must be downward pressure, he was going upwards. Not grounded.

Looked it up, the law states:

"Grounding the Ball in own In Goal

For the ball to be deemed dead the player in possession must intentionally ground the ball in his own in-goal"

Mate he defs didn't. I reckon you need to join me for an Urkel tbh

 

[Apey]

I feel like that one could have gone either way. Surely he put enough pressure on it when attempting to pick it up that it was "grounded".

Oh well he deserves to concede for a stupid play.

Warriors locked up 3rd spot

first round trip to Brisbane or Penrith

Ok fair enough.
I thought it didn't matter if intentional or not.

 

[Mr Angry]

Top 4 Warriors, Webster coach of year.

How's this work when a player gets tackled in the ingoal though and they say he grounded it because the ball touched some grass during the struggle?

Theoretical question. So if you’re in the opponent’s in goal near the corner, you can pick it up and run it closer to the sticks without it being deemed a try from where you picked it up near the corner?

 

[flippikat]

This has got to be the derpiest game I've seen in a while. Just clunky all over.

That last try sums it up.

The Warriors seem to be taking up some perverse challenge to win more ugly with each successive week.

If that trend continues, I can't begin to imagine the dumpster fire against The Dolphins next week.

Yet the Warriors just keep winning.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

It was really disturbing how a couple of minor changes to our edges and we had no idea how to attack at all. Certainly wasn’t a very inspiring audition for Curran at right centre.

 

[Wizardman]

Absolutely clear.

Blind....he has the clear intent to pick it up.....looking back at his f**k up sealed his fate

 

[Apey]

Yeah exactly.

I thought he grounded it when he tried to scoop it up.
Just saw the post where Yobbo posted that their has to be intention, so I'm wrong.

You're playing crap and winning - you're a good side this year.
