Other Games [Round 15, 2021]

[Rafferty]

Papali’i is a machine

 

[47MVEagle]

LOL what a circus!

Doggies trainer asks ref to stop game but doesn't know who he's supposed to be tending to, play breaks down then complete self-implosion by the dogs resulting in a penalty try to Parra.

 

[Rafferty]

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

Probably better for the dogs than to go down a man for 10

 

[Cioran]

Normal service has been resumed.

 

[Will on the hill]

Jeez, Meaney just gave up. They would've scored either way but just gave Lane a saloon passage.

 

[Cioran]

Crazy rule though. If the Eels had scored seconds after he went to the bin he would still have had to serve the rest of the 10. Perhaps teams should be given the option of giving the opposition 6 points but keeping the penalised player on the field.

Adam Elliott faking an ankle injury hoping to hide the fact he was KTFO from a head clash hahaha

 

[Rafferty]

Waddle

or as GE has suggested players in the sin bin return after a try is scored.

Back to normal service eels doing it comfortably.

Its a conundrum. Most players are being sent to the bin for innocuous offences that should never had resulted in a sin bin but some are going for dirty play and professional fouls that deserve the full 10. I agree that if a penalty try cancels a sin bin then any try should.

 

[Cioran]

Are they going to come back for the high tackle on the Parramatta winger who took the drop out.

 

[HoldenV8]

With his effort level in games in recent years, sometimes I am glad that Will Hopoate never came back to Manly.

 

[The Who]

Doesn'tmatter appears to be flying high, but a check of their remaining draw shows some tough matches.
They gain two points from a bye, but six of the remaining nine matches are against tough opponents:
Penrith X 2
Storm
Manly
Souffs and
Easts
They are no certainties to make the top four.

 

[StuBoot]

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).

Thanks for your responses @will on the hill but I still don’t get that Rapana “made it dead”. The ball hit him, he wasn’t trying to touch it at that point and was out, he was on the ground. No wonder we get so confused as to what some of the rules are.
