***Breaking News ... Boot Throwing Outlawed!!!

[The Who]

I think this is a rule that needs to be adjudicated by the vidiots. They need to check if the boot travelled forward from the hand; if there was interference from the lead thrower, and if an attacker was within 10 metres of the throw.
This is serious.
I'm happy to spend five minutes watching replays just to ensure they get this rule correct.

*shudder* they probably will check to see if it was deliberate, or accidental when the tackling player slides down 'the leg' and / or if the tackled player pulled his leg through forcing the shoe to come off... etc etc etc

Or, as pointed out, just check with Melbourne in a week to see all the loopholes Bellamy has come up with.

Certainly ... but player safety is the main thing ...... will mothers let their daughters watch their friend's dads game ....

Todd's daughter and her friends must have complained.

would have outlawed it years ago if a manly player was doing it

Choc was a perp

 

[Shoe1]

Theoretical questions here; imagine if an opposition player tackles DCE, Taupau, Turbo's, etc, steals their shoe and tosses it into the crowd.
The boot falls in your lap, by the time you look up, the trainer has already run a new pair out for the player.
Would you be overly upset with your gift?

I’m not into shoes

Finally, someone thought of the children!

Only when it hits the children in the head..

Are you Shoe1 because you lost a thong or because you found one?

I was shoe because on a trip to the USA I bought a pair of shoes.
And the blokes I was with called me it as a result. Absurd right.

On the one eyed eagle site I was shoe. When I transferred over here I put the 1 on to distinguish the persona.

Could’ve been worse, you could’ve been buying sex toys or clothes for the Mrs

...the bloodchilling practise of boot throwing ...

ROFLMAO

 

[pt73]

Is there a grading depending on how many rows back it lands ?

 

[Eagles2nv]

We laugh cause the NRL is littered with larger issues but I do agree it shouldn't be allowed.

If player loses a shoe they likely won't pick it up till play is dead. In the process they could break a foot.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Maloney will be spewing

 

[SeaEagle21]

It happened to Marty last season, someone launched his boot way off the field (josh mooseknuckle if i recall correctly) and thought at the time what a pr1ck. About time they call it out as a dog act.

 

[MadMarcus]

That sort of thing should be save for off field

 

[HoldenV8]

I swear this game is run by the most amateur bunch of nincompoops imaginable.....
