    All NRL Games [Round 19, 2024]

    Yep,it's been changed - the rule as it is now "the Referee may award a penalty try if, in their opinion, a try would have been scored but for the unfair play of the defending team". So while some rules are being made black and white this one is still somewhat arbitrary. I'm of the opinion...

    All NRL Games [Round 19, 2024]

    If that's the benchmark for a Penalty Try then it should stand to reason that a lot of cynical offside plays when defending your line should be too. How many times do we see a player race off the goal line way early and shut down a simple two on one because they were offside and knew it. If...

    [Resurrected] Please, please Trent... Pick Tom Wright

    Nicho Hynes was also in our squad that year but wasn't part of the GF squad, not sure if he was injured or not. Interestingly Naden was fullback for the Panthers that year and Edwards was five eighth.

    Yep, never trust a guy that always wears a suit and tie when it's hot.

    [Resurrected] Please, please Trent... Pick Tom Wright

    Agree. In the Parra squad they had Dylan Brown, Dean Matterson, Mahoney, Keppie, Oregan Kaufusi and Ray Stone as names we recognise and only two still there. I've looked at this over the years and mentioned it previously, the average is around 4 from a 17 man squad that "kick on", not...

    Quac dropped

    True, but that goes back to the coach/selectors. They picked him in the team so should have had a plan when/how to use him, if they didn't then it's on them. The ideal time to sub him in was when we were tearing them a new one in the first half not when the game was in a holding pattern and QLD...

    Origin III - The Decider

    True, but that's somewhat on the coach. Get him in the game when it's meaningful. Game 1 - we were under the pump all game with a player short. Game 2 - we were in a holding pattern the 2nd half just trying to keep them to zero. Should have put on in the first half for a stint when we were...

    Bunker Blunder

    Yep, forward pass calls are a lottery, the ones they call and the ones they don't. Also, on watching the game highlights this morning l'm surprised they didn't scrutinise Saab's last try. When they knocked it on and the ball hits Brown l reckon Jake was in front of him so accidental offside but...

    Origin III - The Decider

    Just heard on the radio (2GB) that Mitch Barnett has been asked to stay in Sydney, the Warriors reckon he'll get a run in game 3. An off the cuff comment that Guac maybe the one under pressure to hold his spot.

    Bunker Blunder

    Just another of the rule interpretations that they're trying to make black and white. It's like if you don't get the ball you need your arms to disappear and/or put yourself in danger and balance yourself. As l mentioned in another thread, if Garrick gets tackled short it's six again and play on.

    Post-Game Discussion Cowboys V Manly [Round 18, 2024]

    Yep, this is another example of why we all get frustrated with the refereeing and bunker. Because we "scored" with the Saab decision the ref knows he can get it checked - and they were never going to overrule it - yet if Garrick doesn't score he would've played on, six again, nothing to see...

    Manly - Top 8

    I don't think so, they're on a run at the moment but with SOO3 still to come they'll be missing at least two, maybe three of their best players ( no more byes) and they'll need to back up too. They'll be running on empty soon enough.

    Garricks performance at centre

    That could be a portent for this weekend. Looking at the line up and bench we can safely assume that Hoppa won't be coming off the bench to play back up dummy half, that's Lawton's job. Could Talau move to the backrow or lock for a short stint with Hoppa to wing?

    Turbo back.. at centre

    Koula at fullback Hoppa @ 14 Interesting.

    Knights Salary Cap

    True. But ask yourself, if you were a player who would you prefer to play for? I doubt the chooks are paying Dom Young much more than what he was going to be getting at the Knights ( he would've been looking at a major upgrade to stay surely) They were ready to punt Crichton but he's made it...

    Turbo back.. at centre

    Last weeks injury update from the club had Garrick's return date as indefinite, is there more to his concussion that needs looking at? It's unusual for the club to put out a press release to say Turbo is back and playing in the centres prior to them list Tuesday. So are one of the centres...

    Send-offs in the 'six again', size and speed era

    While on this topic, a send off is a huge disadvantage but a player can be put on report twice and may not even go to the bin. How does that work?

    Jamie Humphreys

    Don't you just love journo rhetoric. "Willing to let him sign with a rival club" kind of implies that Mestrov is in the phone offering him up. Really? Could the real reason be Couldn't match the rivals offer , $$$ and length of deal? Couldn't meet the players terms, length of deal, position...

    Jamie Humphreys

    A quick google search has a preseason article on him where it was all based around him moving to hooker, midway through last year and preseason this year. Another search on the NSWRL website lists the games from this year, so far he has been named as 4 x Hooker 4 x interchange bench 6 x Five...
