RIP NRL

[Cockosh]

Wrong. Someone already posted the rule proving this wrong. As he was committed before Keary kicked the ball it can't be a penalty.

You guys really need to read the rule book. This last week has just been educating Roosters fans about the rules

Being committed to a tackle is completely irrelevant. Someone is being selective with rule application.

Tackling a Kicker
When affecting a tackle on a kicker, the defender must make a genuine attempt to tackle which is not:
1 . Late
2 . High or
3 . Dangerous

Actually yes refs did ignore the rules. Soliola should have been penalised for dangerous tackle on keary. Trainer irrelevant*
Agree Cummins shouldn’t have changed call on 6 again

I am with you up to here. Have to watch it again to check the others.

*Not irrelevant though I know what you're saying. Having missed the penalty, the trainer is relevant and his impact I lay squarely at the feet of the nrl asleep at the wheel.

 

[Vee]

So one affects the result more than another.

No. One is in the rules. The other is not.

 

[Valheru]

Refs didn't ignore the rules


So just to be clear, ball hits your own trainer and you get the scum feed
Roosters fans: "oh well, that's the rules"

Ref, breaks the rules and changes his call mid play from 6 again to last tackle
Roosters fans: "f**k the rules"

No they just got the call wrong.

You seem to prefer incompetence over an error in process.... in the event it favours the raiders of course.

You got thoroughly owned on this topic in the match thread.

Seek help.

 

[ram raid]

It's been bound to happen and it has in the GF

Total confusion between 2 refs with one ref over calling another.

Time to go back to one ref.

I think we should keep the second ref, but only in a subordinate role to defer to if the main ref isn't sure about something. Also I think the vid ref needs to be able to step in and veto things when the on-field refs miss something really bad. At any time they want. For any reason. Orwellian type deal.

It wasn't any of those, so how is that relevant? He was tackling around the waist when he committed.

The relevant rule is Section 15 Note 1(j). A player can't jump after the tackler is committed to force a penalty

 

[carcharias]

Get a third ref
One to let Jack know what’s going on.

Hahaha. By you. Hahahaha. The bloke that can’t answer a simple yes or no.

It most definitely is one of those. It is clearly dangerous. But I am sure you will try and make the case that keary is actually just flying peacefully.

Sia is commited, Keary is not in the air yet.

 

[Captain Apollo]

Mate it can still be dangerous even if he is committed, and even if there is no intent to injure (which knowing Sia I doubt there would have been any intent to injure).

 

[Cockosh]

Sia is commited, Keary is not in the air yet.

Completely irrelevant as keary is ultimately put into a dangerous position which the rule clearly states is not allowed. Unless you are trying to argue it isn’t dangerous then a penalty should have been awarded.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

keary is ultimately put into a dangerous position

What does the NRL define as a dangerous position?

 

[Cockosh]

What does the NRL define as a dangerous position?

A tackle where there is potential for a player to land on their head or seriously injure themselves.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

A tackle where there is potential for a player to land on their head or seriously injure themselves.

A player could seriously injure themselves in just about any tackle.

Have you got a link to that definition?

 

[carcharias]

C’mon merkins
Get this baby to 50 pages

 

[Cockosh]

A player could seriously injure themselves in just about any tackle.

Have you got a link to that definition?

So you are saying there is no such thing as a dangerous tackle in nrl then? Obviously they do because they are referred to in their own rules. Why don’t you then enlighten us all on what dangerous is then? Most would agree that some attempted tackles are more likely to cause injury then others ie the tackle on keary.

 

[Pete Cash]

No they just got the call wrong.

We accept some amount of ref error because they are humans but the reason why they aren’t supposed to randomly change their minds is because it impacts the play. I can’t think of a sport i follow where a live decision can just be randomly changed especially while the ball is alive because it has an impact on what the players do. See the difference in cricket between the third umpire overturning a missed no ball and not overturning an incorrectly called no ball. In one example the umpire has perhaps had an influence on play


Next season we will no doubt have some incorrect 6 to go calls go against us but I bet we won’t have the ref change his call while the ball is alive

Ok so you basically made up the definition and passed it off as the NRL's. Cool.
