[JokerEel]

Maybe if he had Pogacar’s medical team.

Give me his blood ffs

 

[JokerEel]

Extremely unlikely. He looks gone and I dont think they would be risking him.
It may even be season....
Stranger things have happened

Says 3-6

 

[King-Gutho94]

5 seasons of it actually. Good show but should have stopped after 3.

 

[senior]

Campbell and Moses would be electric

 

[Soto]

Pharken warriors

I am not a fan of this rule interpretation they have brought in where it is obvious there is a benefit of doubt going to the defensive team in strip calls. This "no stripping action/motion" we are now hearing (Parra was on the wrong end of a bad one last week).
My problem with it is they happen when there is a defender's hand all over the ball trying to lock the ball up but not completing the tackle - all as part of a wrestling/gang tackle tactic.
Just about every problem in the reffing of the game comes from wrestling/gang tackle tactics.
I'd give the benefit of doubt in those ones depending on whether there is 2 or less in the tackle (in which case B of D to defending team) or if there is 3 or more in the tackle (B of D to attacking team).

 

[Eelogical]

Warriors living up to the NZ Shaky Isles synonym.

So, the Eels have won, so have the Titans. Can the Tigers make it a threesome?

So the attacking player runs it up, gets tackled by 3 players, and the second he feels them touch the ball, he lets go for the easiest penalty?

 

[the phantom menace]

f**king Warriors, top 4 team letting the Titans snag a win.

We're trying to get away from spoonzone, ffs!

 

[Parrapat]

I'll have to watch the replay at half time but it looked to me the Panthers deliberately gave away the time penalty on the dropout. Tigers were stupid to have taken the two as the Panthers looked gassed which is why they were happy to give up the two.

Then down the other end, Tigers should have failed to pack the scrum and given away their own time penalty. Instead scrum formed and try time Panthers.

I've got no problem with that.
It would be risky from the ball runner though as it would be called a lost ball a lot of the time as it is just "benefit of the doubt" so really just a mentally that the ref/video ref goes in with.
The defending team could either stop gang tackling or not touch the ball in a gang tackle.

I think we should consider a rule change that if you take the penalty kick at goal play is then restarted with a drop out rather than kick off from half way.

Great idea. That would put a stop to cynically giving away penalties when you know your team is exhausted, as all Bellamy and Robinson coached teams do.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

So I've backed the Tigers but if they're going to lose I hope they get absolutely smashed. The heady heights of 13th place await us.

And for the people who think Douehi would be good even for just next season, please stop

 

[Stevie]

Back to my comments from last week. Adam Doughi is f**king shit. Hope he never dons our jersey we want quality!
