[The Man Shake]

One less bald team in the 8 now. Just got to punt the Sharks and the top 8 will no longer be follicly challenged.

At 46-4. 10 mins remaining, and full momentum I wouldn’t call it an early crow.

Yeah I realised that after I wrote it
Easy call really…but still

Wow. Would hate to play them anytime soon.

Obviously their biggest win against the Cowboys and also in a Qld Derby.

 

[Wizardman]

Dolphins are the first Bennett side to have kicked on without him

Dolphins absolutely kissed on the dick playing two of the most original-affected teams without their stars.

The Cowboys can defend that way with their normal compliment.

Could have called that a deliberate tap forward, but I’m not sure of the rule.

I think it has to go over an opposing player.

It brings up an interesting point.

The deliberate knock on has gone the way of a voluntary tackle.. it's in the rulebook but never penalised - unlike union which penalises it unless they've changed it in the last decade since I've watched it.

I couldn't find a reference to a deliberate bat forward to gain an advantage in the rule book, but recall at least one major example of it being penalised when Hayne or Benji did it on a chip and chase in a pretty high stakes game from memory. That was over a player.

Unless I've missed the rule, it could only been penalised if deemed not in the spirit of the game? And what bostock did definitely wasn't that so play on. And he didn't knock on, so couldnt be penalised for that.

Edit: Annersely cleared up the interpretation after a lomax try last year (on youtube). He referred a knock on as the same as a knock forward. Which isn't how it's applied in rugby. Given league rules came from rugby, and annersely dribbles a lot nonsense, I'm still unsure given the lomax try was awarded.

Ooof that was Cowboys biggest ever loss at home.
