The weekly Paul Carige award

[kdalymc]

I bagged Kahu in the match thread last night, and rightfully so as I can't believe a first grade footballer can make it to that level and not know the rule...

However - it has always struck me as a weird rule, even back to my junior days... I know it's nowhere near the top of any list of priorities but perhaps the rule should be looked at - Maybe they should change it so that the receiving team can pick it up and play on if they wish to... Not many would, most times teams will take the kick for touch from halfway (on a failed kick-off) or the 2 points directly in front if a drop-out doesn't go the 10.... but yeah, let the receiving team pick up and play on if they want, kinda like taking a quick tap from a penalty... maybe there's a drawback I'm not factoring in....

Like someone said, if you drop kick it 1m and you can't pick it up, the other team can and then bang they score instantly

david mead is really making paul carige proud tonight

Ashley Klown. He's not SG Ball standard.

This week's Carige has to go to the blind merkins in yellow and their boss.
However, I think Sargison may have snatched it off Mead as far as players go.
Both were horrible.

 

[SBD82]

Croker butchered the game just as badly by tripping on his laces and swallowing the ball

They both had fierce competition from walker, he was very lucky he landed the last goal or he was a sure thing.

Greg Eastwood

It was a special play

 

[hineyrulz]

Eastwood might have it covered for this season.

That was truly Cargiesque.

The usual nominations for this "award" simply fail at doing something that is part of the job description for their position (for example Mead's fear of catching kicks).
Which makes Eastwood's effort a bit special. Since he took it upon himself to do someone else's job, at the worst time, and then fail at it.

 

[Big Salad]

Definitely overtaken Kahu for mine.

 

[Pedge1971]

Eastwood was special. You cant coach that.

That was truly Cargiesque.

Still time for Ben Hunt to out-derp Eastwood!

I thought Kahu had it wrapped up...and then this

Failed to find Don with that first pass but he persisted and finally hit his man on the chest.

Shame he found his ankles about 10x more than his chest.

 

[AJB1102]

shame Don was on the other team!

 

[TIGER14]

shame Don was on the other team!

Not in Bryce's mind he wasn't.

Tariq Simms, for refusing to pass to his winger and costing Country any chance of winning.
