SOO 2 - 2018 Game Day - Blues Win Series

[HappilyManly]

Just curious... given it was a professional foul and a penalty try, why isn't Hunt in the sin bin?

Penalty try or foul , not both.

If Hunt tripped Boyd and not just tackled him without the ball, then the Ref would have called sin bin

Great game with minimal penalties. Why can’t these morons do it in club games. Its destroying the game and these clowns can’t see it. Same ref gave 30 penalties in a game earlier this year Toddy at his best

Thought a penalty try was 2 kicks at goal. One in line of where it would have been scored, and one in front of the posts??? I must be 100 years behind!

Nah, they’re two different things - the ‘(possible) 8 point try’ is what you’re thinking of - when the try is actually scored, but there’s foul play during the act of scoring - say, Studs-Up Slater sliding in to kick a winger in the face as he puts the ball down (kidding, as if he’s ever been penalised for that!)...so you get the try, take the conversion from where it’s scored, then the penalty from in front.

Penalty try is what we just saw - you get your 4 points for the try, and the conversion from in front.

It’s a bit like basketball free throws - if the foul stops you from scoring, you get two free throws for a possible two points. If you get fouled but still manage to score, you get one free throw for an extra point.

Hunt is going ok for NSW. Useless fukka!

I think it only applies when there is an act of foul play that that prevents a try. Like someone dropping a ball while in the act of scoring because they got tackled high

ie. '99 GF

The link that Slater supplies must be broken.

Hope Turbo replays this game and watches how a fullback organises his team

It'll somehow still be DCE's fault!

Not quite - the 8 point try is for when the try is actually scored, but there was foul play committed during/after it was scored. Penalty try is for when the foul play actually stops the try - like the one we just saw.

In your example - dropping the ball = not scoring = penalty try. Actually getting the ball down even though you’ve been cracked across the head in the process = 8 point try.

Going to be some tired boys in the last 20. That first half was played at a cracking pace. Bench will decide this one.

Shut up, Wally you clown

Surprised Billy hasn’t given up an extra 400 points over his career.

He should’ve, if only he hadn’t been a protected species his entire career

 

[Class of 96]

Look at these lying biased qlders fmd two dumb fools right there. Penalty try all day everyday but for some reason no 8 points or send off

Really surprised he wasn’t binned.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Impressive first half strategy from Qld.

Their forwards, with the help of GI playing as an extra forward at times, have more then held their own, and given their backline something to work from. In defence, they have really driven NSW back.

To NSW's credit, they have held their composure and stayed in the game when in the past we have seen them fold in similar scenarios. Maloney I thought was the difference in giving NSW a half-time lead.

NSW forwards need to muscle up and start hitting hard and dominating the middle.

Oh, and please... somebody iron out Maguire the twat.

 

[Scorpio]

Tom is farked. He got snapped there

I thought he got a shoulder charge from Ponga which caused the most damage.

Having said that, Manly are missing a forward like McGuire who just wants to lay out as many of the opposition as possible. Every team needs players like that to intimidate the opposition in defense.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Ah yes, classic Hunt lol

 

[HK_Eagle]

We look clunky and disorganised in attack, yet still up by 8. If we can get more direct and sort out our timing we will only get better.

 

[eggson]

Like that addo carr and Mitchell combo. Latrell is having a great centres game

Well yeah Mitchell just f’d up

 

[HK_Eagle]

Argh! rocks and diamonds, Latrell.

 

[KOMORI]

Might be just me, but Tommy is have a quietish game and I think it’s playing outside of Jimmy. Bloke wouldn’t pass wind after a pea and ham soup ffs
