OT - OTHER GAMES 2022

There is multiple things I see each week that I feel are a result of lazy officiating.

For example kicking for touch on the mark, kicking for conversion not aligned to the grounding of the ball and my most hated which is resetting a tap kick after a player took a quick tap with a player Infront - pretty sure that was a scrum to the other side once upon a time.
Pretty sure the last one was a penalty for offside once a upon a time.

Current Laws of the game from nrl.com say

20m Re- start Penalty Any deliberate offence at the 20m re-start by either team shall incur a penalty to be awarded at the centre of the 20m line. Section 8 - The Kick off and Drop-Out, Law 2 (c) Any deliberate offence at the 20m re-start by either team shall incur a penalty to be awarded at the centre of the 20m line, except where the defending team is offside. From an offside infringement at a 20m restart, the penalty will be awarded opposite where the infringement occurred on the 30m line

In posting the above I do realise the NRL has all sorts of unpublished rules to mitigate fekk ups

No governance equals no accountabilty.

It was an out and out movement towards the "blocker" by Feldt with a very obvious dive. A real CAT act by Feldt. Makes it onto my CAT list now that fekker
the WT player starts on the side line and ends up just inside the 10m marker.

watched it this morning and paused at point of contact. he's run across corridors and contact is made in front of two other WT defenders.

What line is he actually running?

A block which is illegal.

I share a lot of your views. Not this one.

Do me a favour and have another watch. Ignore the WT player and watch what CATboy Feldt does. He doesn't even react in synch to the bump he caused

I don’t disagree with this. However, you can’t challenge a non-decision.

I absolutely agree with this.
He went in looking for nothing more than a collision and a chance at a penalty.


Butter bottled the call. Rule on the escort or blow full time. Took the soft option and got it dead wrong.

Klein made a pedantic call to favour the home/higher profile team. Klein has no feel for the game. Feldt took an obvious dive.

NRL roll into damage control to defend the indefensible. What a game.

And damn right I agree with this.

I get it trust me.
but the WT was a sitting duck.
ran into no man's land and was ripe for the picking.
gamesmanship.
maybe teams need to learn a lesson from it and stop doing it?
shits me to tears these escorts.
it's not f**king NFL.
if you want to escort with your back turned then you are fair game and can cop a whack.
watch how quickly it stops then.

for me, the bigger whinge should have been for the inside ball from doueihi.
foot forward.

WT were great yesterday all kudos to them.

I thought the right call was made.

Well Annesley has said the challenge was OK but the penalty should not have been given. Not enough evidence in the replays to justify a penalty. WT player was running an unusual line but was moving towards the ball and didn't look for Feldt at any stage. Not enough contact.

he knew what he was doing.
feldt got him.
was always going to happen.
no diff to Reynolds last week hitting the decoy on the inside.
now they need to work out how to stop it.

They can’t stop it, it’ll always be a grey area that may or may not be a penalty.

The only thing the nrl can do is employ people that seem to have an actual feel for the game. Klein had made it abundantly clear in many games he’s an inconsistent pedant.Yet….the nrl have been sniffing his farts and seem convinced he’s the number 1 ref.

there's no one more than @Snoop Shark and I that despise klein.
billion dollar sport and he's all you've got?

they need to come down harder on the coaches for looking to exploit every inch of the game to their own advantage.

every time there is a rule adjustment you can guarantee the next day coaches are trying to work out how to get around it.

its garbage and detracts from what otherwise is a simple bloody game.

This is absolutely correct but again, this is next to impossible to govern. I don't have an answer but perhaps the game has to be like NFL and have black and white rules which are adhered to. So many rules are sacrificed in the name of speeding the game up. If they just adjudicate the rules as written maybe it's easier to address coach cheating.

Maybe.
