[40 years an eagle]

Did Ricky the sook blame the refs again?

No.

I haven’t seen the presser but imo the bunker rorted the Raiders with an unsuccessful challenge in the first half, not a big deal in isolation but it impacted the next set and the inability to challenge for the rest of the match.
Dragons grubber through, goes dead and ruled a dropout, Raiders challenge, replays show the ball hits Rapana outside the deadball line whilst Rapana was on the ground.
Forgive me if I’m wrong but if Rapana has touched the ground and is out before touching the ball then isn’t the ball out?
They checked it, said Rapana played at the ball so challenge unsuccessful. The ball hit him ffs.

Yes, the Faders should be better but seriously how does the bunker stuff simple things up?

The bunker was technically correct.

The ball has to touch the ground, outside of the dead ball line.

Stupid rule, but it was applied correctly.

And it has happened a few times this year as well.

Really??
So how come in an attacking situation if the attacker is out but flicks it back in the ball is deemed out?
Is it one of those anomalies between attacking and defending?
Also to me it appeared the ball hit him rather than he played at it, is that another stupid rule anomaly between in the field of play and the in-goal area?

I don't see how that's right. Is this the rule? Section 9 Touch and Touch In-Goal

Then there is also the above. Seems contradictory tbh.

I'm certain I've seen the rule applied a couple of times this season. One was Manu from the Roosters, from hazy memory, where he ran out of the dead ball line to grab the ball, got it before it bounced, and got pinged with a drop out...as the ball did not hit the ground, or an object, prior to the player touching it.

I'm not sure we're all taking about the same rules/situations.

The most famous example was Inglis.

That is the rule for a ball that is touched on the full. Doesn't apply to a bouncing ball.

Yep, sideline and dead ball line are treated differently.

 

[Will on the hill]

It's in the notes at the bottom of page 21.

Where the ball which is stationary in the field of play or the in-goal area comes in contact with a player in touch, touch in-goal or over the dead ball line, the ball is deemed to have been made dead by that player.

Should the ball, whilst in general play, be made dead by a player straddling, or over, their own dead ball line or touch in-goal line, play will re-start with a goal line drop-out (S8, Law 4(i)Page 19).

 

[Shnorky]

5 x six agains, 3 x penalties v 1 x 6 again.

 

[Rafferty]

Did anyone just see Gutho, tell his player he was a ****ing disgrac?

 

[Disco]

This sounds wrong.....but C'mon Doggies

Doggies playing tough once the season is over is the cornerstone of their current culture.

 

[Rafferty]

Yep, I hope they play it like their gf, back to back for the first time in a long time, then party all night and into the week.

 

[davohan123]

Dogs are being made to look good

parra should of scored at least 3 more tries but have butchered so many overlap opportunities out wide.

dogs look more up for this

 

[globaleagle]

doggies hit the lead!

 

[globaleagle]

half time 10 - 6 dogs

I wonder

 

[Spartan Eagle]

I can't stand either of them. But prefer to see dogsh't all over an eel.

 

[Cioran]

I can't stand either of them. But prefer to see dogsh't all over an eel.

And it moves the Donkeys one step closer to consecutive spoons. Wouldn't that be grand.

 

[Will on the hill]

Pretty soft penalty try, professional foul for sure but still questionable whether he would've scored.
