When have you seen an advantage played for 2 or 3 tackles?greeneyed wrote:I don’t agree, because I’ve seen it before. And it’s not just an interpretation, it’s a black and white rule... if you haven’t watched this video from the NRL today, it explains: https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/09/02/gra ... -round-24/pickles wrote: ↑September 2, 2019, 10:39 pmI’ve said I think it is good but i can’t recall a single other time when a 3 tackle advantage has been played in a similar situation. It doesn’t mean that it isn’t following the rules but to argue that’s the current interpretation is a bit far fetched.greeneyed wrote:Hold on, the NRL hasn’t changed their interpretation of this rule.

Like I said earlier I'd be ropeable if it happens to us in the semi-finals.pickles wrote:I’m all for playing advantage until the end of the set for any penalty. It would make teams defending their line think twice about giving away a penalty if the team was going to get the full set as well as a penalty at the end.
That said I have never seen an advantage played for that long unless a referee was tipped off about an infringement that was missed on field.
The NRL need to do something about the way teams give away penalties when defending their line but I hardly think the second last round of the season is time to make a stand!

The rule says that in a case of foul play, which we saw on Sunday, the referees can play advantage until the end of the set and then go back if there is none. This actually a good rule, isn’t it? See if the disadvantaged team scores, if not, they go back for the penalty. You shouldn’t allow foul play to go unpenalised.
In the case of other infringements, I like the current interpretation. Limited advantage played. Once they’ve used the advantage, that’s cancelled.
No one is talking about changing the interpretation on the eve of the finals. These are the established rules and interpretations.
I've watched nearly every single NRL game this year and I haven't seen it once.
