Other Games [Round 16, 2022]

[Terry Zarsoff]

Geez that Averagedildo is bloody ordinary.

Fair play to him. His great hands in these atrocious conditions have since shut me up. lol

Is there an Aboveaveragedildo?

Is it called the Super Bowel Trowel?

Terry, you're not going to the right adult toy shops.

Peter Gough was today's referee in Wollongong. I wonder if he'll get punished by being dropped for a couple of weeks for the end of game blunder??

The sad thing is that there are a couple of other refs who would never get dropped over a similar blunder.....

Kryptonite Klein and the Sutton cartel spring straight to mind.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Tipped a perfect round!

i am
the tipping god!

If old mate ref from the Raiders game gets dropped for the last second "no call", what happens to Chris Sutton who frantically had to penalise the Tigers #13 for tackling too hard on Josh Curran ....fired into the Sun?

Not with that surname.

I think the Canberra players were correct there. Ravalawa picking up the ball after Ramsay dropped it should have been offside.

Not 100% on the rule here, but I thought the ref rules on the first infringement, being the knock on. I think it happen early in the game as well and was reffed the same way.

Moses the Monster Suli is in his best form of his career

Des could not get the best out of him at Manly

You could be right. TBH I'm not 100% certain either.

He still can't read a defence above mini-mod level. We all know he can actually tackle, that's not the issue. Its his defensive reads that let him down. His running game however has always had the potential to be Mal Meninga like.

Still, I can't fault either of our centres right now. Koula started off good defensively and now he's backing his running game too and with his pace he's an absolute weapon. And Harper's form has been great since getting a re-call thanks to Parker's knee injury. He's bounced back bloody well from the hammering Talakai gave him and his subsequent dropping for the next game.

But it's technically not an infringement (knock on) until that player or another player touches it.
The Raiders didn't get a chance to touch it due to the offside player.
I know it was an innocent pick up from the Dragons player but he was still offside, it wasn't an accidental offside where the ball hits him, he chose to pick it up.

What if there was a Raiders player running through to dive on it?
Surely it'd be a penalty then.

It shouldn't change the ruling just because there was no Raiders players in a position to contest for the ball.

Just looked at the highlights (well the ending) of the raiders game and 'nothing to see here' will be the result.

The ref said he thought hunt was square but even if he did, it must be an anomaly as 99.9999% of the time if a dummy half makes that tackle, he's ruled as off-side.

annesley predicted response options:
1)ref made the right call
2)ref made a mistake but they're human so leave them alone as players make mistakes all the time

 

[krusty]

I think this journalist should also be stood down along with the referee.

Sorry for quoting myself but I just listened to Annesley use "option 2", above.

I think you are being to generous in your use of the term "Journalist", as when it comes to rugby league they are just rumour mongering hacks who would be clogging up jails and AA meetings if it wasnt for RL ,much like many of the players

I feel the same applies with Schuster

 

[HoldenV8]

How on earth did Jarrod Wallace only get 2 weeks for his spear tackle when both Karl Lawton and Brent Naden got 4 for theirs???
