I watch everything rugby league. My TV automatically shifts from rugby league to rugby league.

70+ fox channels....

I love this.

The rookie on now on go, this is where foxsports destroys ch9. Freddie and Lam are absolutely wooden and the whole thing feels like a kindergarten play.

Listening to NRL 360 and all the tears for Wade Graham. This bloke is an admitted drug cheat. He should be still on the sidelines. You hit a bloke around the head, you get suspended.

[greeneyed]

And now we're hearing Tony Archer claiming the ruling for Tony Williams was correct, the knock forward was "accidental". Just what have come to expect from Tony Archer.

[Poida_Raider]

How did he accidentally pass it into his own hand? How does your own hand get into the way of your pass? I don't get that

Because it's nonsense.

I can never subscribe to the call - it's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen which directly led to a try.

BUT, if there's a technical basis on which to justify it, then it is what it is. The NRL reckons it has tried very hard to officiate in a very black and white sense - though we've seen different in some cases - so if the rules permit it and the referees show consistency in officiating literally by the book, then so be it.

I'm sure I've seen it happen before and it's been denied by both the on field officials and the video referee, but that was at a time when discretion was allowed to be used.

It should never be allowed IMO. The rule changed 100 years ago to stop this and these bunker muppets think it's OK.

Hahaha I feel you, I really do. You might note I was as bemused as you yesterday when it was awarded. However, I've since read the rules in this space and it seems - bafflingly - that it's permitted. And, as has been said many a time now, Archer is seeking to have a game in which all things are officiated in line with the rules ie no discretion which is what was probably needed yesterday

[greeneyed]

It all hinges on the word intentional. The word intent MUST be interpreted here as someone expecting to take advantage from knocking the ball forward. Surely that's what Williams has done. There's no unintentional action here.

[Professor]

Hahahaha

I think you touched on an out which the bunker could have taken up - that is, the advantage that was taken which came from an unintentional knock on / knock forward.

I don't know, mate. Hopefully the rule is tinkered with because if that happens again and it's awarded I'll dead set give it away

[gerg]

I think Jarryd Hayne got away with a similar 'juggle' a few years back but then tried it again a few weeks later and got pulled up for it.

What a load...

If this happens this weekend I bet it's pulled up..

This "play" was knocked on the head 100yrs ago.

Bert Funch is on ch9s footy show atm.

Fair dinkum he looks terrible. It's either recent Botox injections gone wrong or someone punched him repeatedly in the face moments before coming on set.

Or

A swarm of bees attacked him...

[greeneyed]

Canberra's Jordan Martin from the NRL Recruit will be on The Footy Show tonight. He's the son of Paul Martin and currently plays Mounties. He's in the final six.

Also there should be an Erin Molan story on the Raiders filmed at the National Zoo tonight.

[gangrenous]

If his name's Jordan he'll slot right into the Raiders in no time.

[greeneyed]

He's playing the level down from Mounties firsts atm. But looks like a good kid.

[-TW-]

Pretty quick, good finisher from what they show of him on the show

Lockyer on the footy show
- Ryan James won't have anything to answer for with the Tedesco high shot
(Personally I think running in from an offside position and a massive swinging arm to the chops to break a jaw of their best player will raise some questions. Looking at the replay Tedesco hadn't really dropped down yet. Hope he's back to play against Cowboys though)
- oates gets rid of his errors he's the best winger in the game
(I think any winger would be winger of the game if they got rid of all their errors!)

Terry Kennedy doesn't rate the Raiders chances .. basically, no way we can get to the GF, has to be Storm v Cowboys

[Sid]

Absolute gold. It had to be a greenhouse member. Was almost word for word what we talk about here.

NRL 360 and Sterlo on the couch are great, so is the NITV Footy Show, the rest are rubbish, especially CH9 with Fatty, stopped watching that crap in the 90s

If Justin Hodges is still part of NITV, it's not good. It's terrible.

Jodan is the only reason to watch League Nation Live.

Is that the guy who stars in Black Comedy? He's good.

Canberra Raiders legend Brad Clyde on The Footy Show tonight.

Gotta love Fox Sports' coverage this year.
