Archer last night

[Willow]

C'mon Willow, don't fight facts with him. You'll make him look stupid.

LOL. You're right. I should stick to exaggeration and melodrama... a far more effective method.

I'm still looking in the rule book for the section which says its OK for a man playing the ball to interfere with the marker. Be buggered if I can find it but clearly the Sharks were ripped off in that movement as well.

 

[Riddell]

he missed that barrey try it was forward

Yeah it probably was and if i was a sharks supporter i would be complaining too but also if you were a dragons supporter you would be complaining about the push on barrett. When you look at the whole game archer was fairly poor, especially in the play the ball and the supposed 10 metres.

 

[Willow]

So how many forward passes are we down to now?

 

[SHD]

Absolute piss poor consistency. Just terrible. The 10m, how quick you were allowed off the line, what constituted a bad enough high hit for a penalty, when to stop play, how long you could niggle to slow the play the ball... all over the place.

agree with the 10 meters it wasnt existing all nite , as for the barret thing he took a dive he is a cat , what more would you expect?

there where two in that play. thats all

BWNB sometimes i think we r the only 1s with some sense on here
like i said if u wanna penalise vagana for touching barret thered be another 30 penalties in every game. play the balls always touch the markers, its a habbit in nrl. there was nothing wrong with wat vagana. did a little push to the chest which he somehow fell to the ground off (cat).

 

[Iafeta]

BS.

You are not allowed to impede the defence. Barrett is a defender at marker.

Penalty. No try. Stop exaggerating, 30 penalties? Willow's right, in your next post you'll have it down to 14, and then 2 when the shoe goes on the other foot.

You were beaten fair and square, and if anything you were damn lucky to have Tony Archer officiating because if it had have been a referee mentally capable of keeping teams back ten metres we would have got to see some footy - rather than a scrapathon. And we all know who has the better footy team out of those two mobs.

 

[Riddell]

Barrett probably did put it on a bit but the point is vagana, quite forcefully shoved him in the face when barrett was just standing there waiting for the play the ball. No matter what the result of this is, hes hit him in the face and it should be a penalty

agree when have you seen stevo or one of those players who arnt cats fall over like that , i would hate to have any of you other guys as refs there would be a penatly every tackle

Your buddy thinks there were seven.

Can one of you show me where in the rules book that interfering with the marker is allowed? And didnt Sharks get a try from that?

You're whinging about it but the decision went your way.

 

[Iafeta]

Stevo not a cat? Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah - Mr Wedgie!

I nearly fell off my seat. You should go into comedy.

 

[Craigshark]

cronulla didn't make a linebreak for 79 minutes.

thats why they lost.

Um, i seem to remember a line break in the first half to Beau Scott.. Down the left hand side of the field.
Barrett is a cat. Vagana basically just touched him and Barrett fell over. You see it at every play the ball, though not everyone is a cat and takes a dive like Barrett. Maybe he should take a look at taking up soccer.
And that try to Barrett did come off a forward pass. ;-)

In the END, we lost. St.George-Illawarra won. Simple.

That just shows how much you DON'T know about football. If you had even watched one game this season which Stevens played in, you would realise that he has been one of our best players.. On his day, he is still one of the best front-rowers in the game, even though he is retiring.
Wedgies don't make someone a cat.

Are you serious ??? you need to watch the incident again. Just touched him hey . . . lol. he got up and quite forcefully shoved him in the face. Explain to me how this isn't a penalty.

 

[Craigshark]

It wasn't a penalty.
Barrett maybe should become an actor. He seemed to do a good enough job to have all you fooled. There was nothing in it and Barrett knew it.

 

[Saint 60]

Archer tried....and was extremely trying -

Ill leave it at that...and i hope he just leaves for England-

 

[Willow]

And you see a bit of hollywood in every match. Perhaps by attacking Barrett you're feeling a little better now.

Put whatever spin you want on it and convince yourselves that what Vagana did was all legit. But in my opinion, he was lucky not to be penalised - he broke the rules, and the Sharks scored a try. So what's your problem?

And the pass was probably forward but the ref errors went both ways.

Fortunately none of this had any bearing on the match outcome.

Sharks did well to make the finals and acquitted themselves admirably. But at the end of the day, 2nd defeated 7th in a close fought match.

There was nothing in the incident. That is my opinion.. You have your's. We will never agree. So lets no go around in circles.

I don't know, you seem to be making a big fuss about Barrett's role in it all. He fell on his back after copping one in the face from Vagana. God dammit! Let's hunt down Barrett and hang him from the nearest tree.

You might want to address the question being posed. Did Vagana break the rules Craigshark?
