Re: Pacific Four Series 2024 - April 27-May 25
I’ve been around, just not posing too much. Somewhat stepped away when a call I made in a game got questioned directly to me on here so figured I’d just lurk a bit more. Hope all is well down your way. Bloody hell. Bringing things from real life to have a personal crack on these forums is very poor...

Sitting where he was, it’s likely that this person is known to the organisation. Shouting racist abuse at players is definitely something one will see in Melbourne, which isn’t a racist place. The abuse levelled at sportspeople at AFL games is shocking - I guess it’s a cultural thing. I believe tho...

Re: The Training Thread - all aspects of fitness and health
Training has been going well down this way, lots of time on the rower and have shifted some PRs which is always nice. 2km is down to 6:58, 5km went from 19:09 to 18:20, 10km is at 37:58, HM has gone from 1:34-1:26, reckon I could go a bit quicker on the HM. Currently 7 weeks through a 2km training p...

I thought he did well to get up. Good on him. I thought it was worth a yellow. Was surprised the head clash then shoulder to the head before half time wasn't even deemed a yellow. I guess BOK was consistent in ignoring dodgy tackles. True and yes, Lynagh showed some stick getting up and continuing....

Going by those pictures I am somewhere in between the 15% and 20%, probably closer to the 20% which is roughly what my scales say every day (19.5 on average for last 4 weeks).

Re: New laws for Rugby world cup 2023 including Orange card
Who is doing the usual TMO work during live play while the TMO is reviewing the yellow-possibly-red card offence? The TMO will need about 6 pairs of eyes. There is 1 TMO appointed to the game, and 1 FPRO (foul play review official) appointed. The FPRO judges the YC and sees if it’s an upgrade or not.

As far as I know it’s also different to how it was done in Super Rugby this year. In Super Rugby the TMO for the game needed to review the YC for any upgrade or not inside the 8 minutes (it was actually fairly easy to do), but for the international game there is a seperate TMO who is only appointed ...
