My sister has done a fair bit and worked out shit going back to the early 1700s on my Father's Mother's side. My mum's side is a bit weird as they moved out to Australia from Holland, via Indonesia, after WW2...plus, my real grandfather was estranged so we don't know too much about him. Interestingl...

A try, or a linebreak. Equally, if they were in a realistic place to take the intercept then its not anything. I don't think a penalty try can be awarded for preventing a line break? I thought you were talking a card. I was asking about a penalty try. Awarded when a probable try was prevented (and ...

Jesus Christ, mate. He wasn't executed on the spot. He spent 10 minutes in a chair on the sideline. He knew the risks. High risk...high reward. If he managed to latch on, he would have run 100m and scored. He knew that if me missed the ball, the Reds would score. He also knew that if he knocked it o...

Prove that.
He went for an intercept that was unrealistic. That is how I know.
I know it was unrealistic because he only got one hand to the ball, and knocked it on.

Is a player making a realistic attempt to recover the ball from a chargedown? nope, the only difference is you are allowed to cynically knock the ball downwards off a kick, but not a pass. Similarly, a defender is allowed to cynically knock the ball out of an attacking players hands if they are hol...

Israel Folau was forced to watch on as the cold reality of his return to Australian sport was hammered home in his team’s 88-0 loss.

Sort your countrymen out, GS.

I'll take an 8 tries-to-three bonus point win, away from home with a crooked referee everyday of the week :thumbup: What is it with Kiwi supporters and ‘cheating refs’ stuff Spiritual Guardians my arse. :P I know we are all generally amazing rugby pundits but the average Kiwi mongs on social media ...

Speaking of locals...my mate moved to Maroubra in the early 2000s. Was a great skater and an average surfer but knew little about the Bra Boys. His first day there the surf was 4ft and clean and he grabbed his board and paddled out. Smiled at the first guy he saw in the lineup who promptly told him ...

I had a poster of that snap on my wall. An insane ride on a wave that he shouldn't have been able to do that on.

He's a real pedant ref too. Easily my least favourite. he is usually fine just a question about where the brumbie was toppled over his head at the ruck. this is OK ? The referee said it was Ok because he was just lying there in the ruck i.e. it wasn't a lifting tackle from a standing position. I fe...

I'd like Vunvalu in the squad. Dude is flash as a rat with a gold tooth. I'm a huge Wright fan though.

I wanted a 19 minute red card penalty. So close to have been the one that changed the law.

19? Nnno. Not 19. It's 20!

I saw two examples on the weekend. In the Canes - Force match in the last passage of play a Hurricanes player slapped a ball down that was being offloaded by a Force player. He knocked it backwards though and the Canes got it and scored. That's fine. Last night with a 2 on 1 overlap and certain try ...

Just caught a replay of this. Their was zero contact of shoulder to head, but he did catch him with his hip. Zero chance of a citing. Nothing in it. Just an opportunity to put the boot in. Dog act from Thomas, it must be said. He could have stabbed a player and you would have said there was nothing...

Will Reece be cited for his shot at the end? Edit: watched it again. Probably not but a dog act from a bloke who hits women. It's easy to troll Sevu Reece. But the fact in that incident was, according to the police he was being physically attacked over a sustained period of time by a very intoxicat...

That's some abysmal defence.

You’re the horseflesh-spotting benchmark, bro. All the rest are pretenders

I am pretty amazing.

You see him about a fair bit down at Coolangatta -Tweed Heads. Dude is a nugget and loves a yarn. Apparently, he’s a massive drop-in merchant as well. True? He's a local, he can do whatever he wants. You'd be a brave person to call him out for dropping in. Sounds like a great way to get a fat lip. ...

As much as I would love to see the Saders lose ... well done to them having to overcome yet another bent Aussie ref performance vs a Kiwi team. Last 2 yellows were bollocks. The last yellow was a clear turnover as the Crusaders players was on his feet getting the ball. The previous yellow very unlu...

Canterbury did actually get a court injunction against SBW and Toulon. IIRC Toulon and Canterbury came to a financial agreement and settled out of court. I believe they paid some of SBWs remaining contract. Going on this, Catalans could seek remuneration from the Southport Tigers. Looks like they be...

I saw that too.

Farva wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 9:57 am Was a little confused on that - is it OK if it goes backwards?

Just rewound it. Force player was offloading and Canes player slapped it down (went backwards) and it was play on.

Probably fine.

Missed a slap down from a Canes player there.

Are Kiwi refs looking at obstruction this match?

Cubelli.

kiap wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 9:27 am That is unbelievable

Sums up Kiwi reffing.

Wonder what would have happened had it been an Aussie. Clearly hit him in the head with a swinging arm. He made an attempt to wrap...his head. JFC.

Swinging arm to the head.

"Just a penalty, bro..."

What colour card? Yellow or red?

This was always the aim. He doesn't even want to play footy. He's a puppet of the Australian Christian Lobby and Clive Palmer (who is pretending to be religious because he likes people talking about him). Yeah, that stands out like dog's balls. Just the wording of the statement regarding the suit.....
