"Close Proximity"

[Rynostradamus]

Okay so I can't claim to be a scholar of the international rule book for our game.

So first things first. Has anyone ever heard of a shepperd judgement based on rugby league rules called "Close proximity"?

I ask first as a Manly Warringah supporter. Turbo was denied the first try of the test match due to this invented Call.

I ask second because my punters club stood to win a motza if turbo scored first in the first try scorers market.

The back rower did not go through the line. Yet he was called for obstruction when he stopped before the line. Nor was their any touch of any defender. He stopped behind the man with the ball.

So the video ref to my knowledge invented an excuse. Again happy to be schooled on this.

After watching our players and club be scrutinised and cleared for match and spot fixing at what point do the Police investigate officials. 1 official is easier to influence than a team. As evidenced in many sports around the globe.

I think the Police should be looking at the payout trail from the first try scorers market in tonight's game.

A long shot forward vs the favourite. House wins.

I think gambling in league should be banned. The officials and the players need protecting. As do clubs and fans.

To quote the great man "there needs to be an investigation". It needs to happen now before the criminals win; year to year, month to month, game to game.

Nuff said.

I liked the call, would like more of it.

 

[Rynostradamus]

Is it a rule defined by an extent?

unhappy Tom got denied his first try for Aus but that was the right call. Attacker stopped in the line and didn’t allow the defender to continue his chance to tackle the player with the ball

Um the house always wins.

Its just part of the obstruction rule.

Whilst the French player wasn't touched by the Roos player, he could not sidestep to tackle the ball career due to the Roos decoy standing right in his face.

______
Obstruction
The indicators for an obstruction include:
1. (a) ‘Block’* or ‘Flat’ runner (who do not receive the ball) must not stop in the middle of the defensive line
(b) ‘Block’ or ‘Flat’ runner (who do not receive the ball) must not run at (chest or outside shoulder of) defender
and initiate contact
(c) The Referee or Review Officials can determine the significance of contact initiated by the ‘Block’ or ‘Flat’
runner (who does not receive the ball) in impeding a defender’s involvement in a try scoring play

 

[Supreme Leader]

It's a Greenturd conspiracy! He heard he was offered the Manly CEO job so he told the refs to do any Manly player over!

Stopped before the line

So the rules agree with me

I do not see the words close proximity in the rules

 

[Shoe1]

I called shepherd before the ball was kicked. It should have been a penalty before tom started chasing.

 

[HappilyManly]

The rule is c) Ref determines ...

This Ref is just into tautologies 😀

 

[Shoe1]

When I played, the whistle went as soon as a player went behind one of his own. It didn’t matter how close the defence was or whether a try was scored. Clear decision.

I cringe when play continues these days in those situations.

 

[wombatgc]

Is that you @Ryan ?

 

[ricardo]

I quite like the international reffing and thought they have been great so far. That was a shepherd. Feel bad for Turbo and your betting team but there it is.

I know I probably sound like a wowser, but gambling is a blight on the game and always has been in my view.

Hell no. Not sure if the guys name is actually Ryan, or he made the name to take the piss outta me.

I agree with you. That's why I don't bet on league. It would be hypocritical of me to do so...
