2024 FW2 Sat - Sydney 40-16 Manly @ Allianz

[Vee]

First touch knocks the ball back...LOL!!!

Fair dinkum, the bunker will say anything to justify a decision.

 

[Gmac]

Well really are a competent centre, hooker and a forward away from being a good side.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

He knocks it forward and then never “re-grips”…did they change that rule or do they just make it up as they go?

 

[Artiste]

well why don’t we just go f**k our selves then eh?

 

[YoHadrian]

20 minutes for the chip swoopers to come back.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

I thought players were supposed to regain possession?
Glad it was giving and hope they rule like that from now on.

Bunker decided it was knocked backwards so no need to re-grip.

Mental gymnastics…

Turbo is a massive liability as well

 

[eagles4eva]

Irrelevant at that point, they ruled he was pushing it backwards therefore no infringement. At that point any downward pressure, even with separation would have been ok.

Here come the square ups

Union is my main game but at one point the game became about refereeing so I switched off, that was about 5 years ago. NRL is something I watch now and then - but it's just refereeing, no football. Time to switch this code off for me too.

But you can knock the ball forward and then bat it back before it touches the ground/another player...

So he knocked it forward, pushed it back before it hit the deck, and grounded it with downward pressure. To be honest the fact you can score a try like that feels a bit wrong but under the rules it's fine

Turbo hits a slight gap these days like me after 12 beers.

[skeepe]

Shocking penalty

 

[Artiste]

Might be time to learn the rules.
