Non-Manly Games [Round 8, 2016]

[HappilyManly]

That no try shows just how bad this obstruction rule has become. There was no way in the world that Reynolds would have stopped that try. I actually agree with Joey on this. That was a fair try taken away by a BS ruling.

I missed what happened. Did Reynolds touch the referee?

Yes, to get him to check for the obstruction.

They have to do away with that stupid rule unless the Ref states that he felt intimidated

Which stupid rule, the way the obstruction currently is or players touching the ref?

Another fridaynight Broncos game yawn..

Sure did. After the try was scored ran up to ref and tapped him on the shoulder to grab his attention. He's gone!

Maybe he should go and change his name on Tuesday to "Jonathan Thurston"

 

[Simonmyers11]

Imo its a f##ken ridiculous rule getting suspended for a very light tap to get the refs attention to ask a question

Ref molesting one

The obstruction rule is obvious - run through the line without touching your opponent

Reynolds' dive was GI-esque

 

[Jerry1]

No replay on the high tackle..

Ah ha, then how do they explain taking a try from us a few weeks back against Cronulla when T-Red ran through the line, didn't touch anyone and got himself out of the play.....yet he was ruled to have caused an obstruction. From memory that was the one when Tommy scored in the Arko Stand corner. I remember it was when DCE double pumped before throwing a cut out pass to Tom.

Note - this has been edited lol

Ah ha, then how do they explain taking a try from us a few weeks back against I think Souffs when T-Red ran through the line, didn't touch anyone and got himself out of the play.....yet he was ruled to have caused an obstruction. From memory that was the one when Tommy scored in the Arko Stand corner.

Edit: it may have been against Cronulla

Inside shoulder pass by about 1cm - but I don't have a bunker

 

[Normie]

Jack Reed = Hog!

 

[HoldenV8]

Are Souffs doing well or are the Donkeys just off their game a bit tonight?

 

[HoldenV8]

Jack Reed = Hog!

Since when does Paul Gallen play centre for the Donkeys? I thought he was the NRL's king of the ball hogs

 

[HoldenV8]

Gus talking sense there. That's what happens when you pack a scrum with backs.

 

[HappilyManly]

Rabbids Rabble, they really miss Isaac Luke

 

[HoldenV8]

Just as I ask if Souffs are doing well or if the Donkeys are off their game.....they score two quick tries right before half time with time enough for a 3rd if they're good enough.

Sam Burgess opened the garage door for them there didn't he.....

 

[Jerry1]

Yep the Friday night footballing machine...

Had to like Fatty having a thinly disguised dig about their constant 7 day turnarounds on TFS this week while others have had to put up with 5 days.

S Burgess doesn't look like he is trying and Inglis gone missing as usual

But...but, Channel 9 keeps telling me that I should worship them.
