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!
Totally agree Pickles, but round 24 isn't the time to start changing how the intricacies of the game are interpreted. Like I said earlier I'd be ropeable if it happens to us in the semi-finals.

Hold on, the NRL hasn’t changed their interpretation of this rule. And I don’t think they should.

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 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.
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/
When have you seen an advantage played for 2 or 3 tackles?
I've watched nearly every single NRL game this year and I haven't seen it once.

I recall it happening before... but if you think I have a catalogue of every game situation when different rulings were made, I’m sorry, I don’t have that. I suggest you ask the NRL.

Even if it doesn’t happen frequently, so what? I hadn’t seen differential scrum penalties given for a long time... but I’ve seen those this year too.

I genuinely don’t understand why anyone could have a problem with this?

Would you like the referee to have immediately blown a penalty on Sunday? Haven’t fans all over the league been complaining about stop, start play? That the referees are unnecessarily stopping the flow of the game?

Is an immediate penalty for the late shot on Sezer preferred, allowing play to stop and defences to regroup? I don’t understand why anyone could have a problem with seeing if the attacking team can take advantage. Isn’t that what we’ve all been wanting the referees to do?

What are people going on about. 100% penalties have gone back a few tackles for foul play and it has also happened against the Raiders.

Once on Cronk when he played for Storm and I remember another against the Rabbitohs at home when we were up by about 12 early. The South’s one I couldn’t work out at the ground until I had seen the replay.

I think it happened against the Storm again and the Dragons another time as well. I think in the Dragons one, our fullback was tackled after taking a kick and it went all the way back to the tackle the previous set.

Also maybe CNK fielded a kick in his in goal this year and we went back for an earlier penalty.

I don't know how many times I need to say it mate, but clearly I need to say it one more time.

I agree that it is a good interpretation by the referees, for all the reasons you, Gangers and Pickles have said.

I have seen many instances this year where an act of foul play has been committed and they have not - I repeat, they have not - handled it in this manner. Not once.

In fact in all the years I have watched rugby league, which is getting up to nearly 35 years, I have never ever seen advantage like that.

Just for a moment be a little objective. If that went the other way on the weekend you would be really annoyed. I would be.

I suspect all of those incidents were a tip off from the bunker/VR.

What's Sia supposed to do after he passes the ball? Start running toward the in-goal?
I thought it was tough but others on here have said it was the right call. There weren’t many replays shown and I have to say the bloke in the bunker must have had a hot date after the game because he didn’t take a second look at anything before make a call all game.

If your watching the replay can you try and get to the bottom of that feral bomb that was called to have bounced dead in goal but on replay appeared clearly in. I suspect the replay showed the second bounce but good if you could confirm what happened as a few of us were head scratching on that one. Pretty sure it was Hodgo who kicked it.
Impossible to tell conclusively whether that bomb went dead or not, the camera was too far away when it happens and then the little replay box in the corner doesn't even show the first bounce.
It sure looks like the ref just took the winger's word for it though, he was nowhere near it when it bounced.

If you’ve never seen an advantage like that in 35 years then maybe you are confusing Golf with Rugby League.

Granted it’s doesn’t occur often, but occasionally the refs will pull it out of their arses and it’s happened against us and for us.

I remember the one on Cronk as clear as day. He stayed down for a few tackles and on replay it wasn’t even that bad.

Is that true? Because I thought he slowed down at the time and watching it again today it certainly seemed like the case
Yeah said to 'Roaming Elliott' he had the obstruction in mind so slowed down to ensure he didn't score.
Hahaha I **** KNEW it!!

In your faces afghfjfkrkkr and Billy Walker!!
It crossed my mind.
Our Captain is a smart bloke and chances are on video review they look at an obstruction.
I feel like people routinely underestimate the skipper's game-smarts. He's a clever little dude.

I think the "tactical tackle" thought was the second one that crossed my mind. He's actually done it before!

greeneyed wrote: September 2, 2019, 9:51 pm What, he was supposed to run into the in goal when play was still going on? That’s ridiculous.
If he wants to avoid a penalty, yes. Or conversely run or walk back behind the football. Either way. The only thing he cant do is stand in the middle of the defensive line and impede a defender, which is exactly what he did.
That's the rules. Black and white. He's in front of the football and it's up to him to make sure he's not impeding defenders.

After he passes the ball, (and it's a pass, not an offload, he is effectively a block runner here, his presence in the play is not to receive the ball and engage the line, he receives it and immediately turns to pass for the run around, he doesnt engage the line at all), he takes 3 steps and stops. So he could just take 5 or he could not take any at all, either of those options would have seen him avoid impeding a defender.

Instead he walked right into the defensive line and stopped. And then Papalii literally runs around his back and in a gap that a defender is unable to close because Sia is standing in his way. Honestly, this is text book obstruction, which is why it was sent up no try and why it took them about 3 seconds to confirm the ruling.

No idea. But listening to sports ears at home games I know the bunker provides these tips regularly.

I have no issues with the Red Horse no try.
Sia should have just run through the line and we wouldn't be talking about a "no try".
It's just a crappy rule that needs serious attention. Take a look at the "no try" to the Panthers in the Roosters game....the defender had every chance to make a tackle but milked it for all its worth. Yes that's the rule, but my point is the rule (and interpretation by refs and video refs) needs a serious scrub.

I don't dispute that it now a rule now, or even back then. But it does seem nonsensical a bit, and I'm not whining because it went against us in this instance. I just don't believe that a player who has partaken in a passing rush and no longer has possession of the ball should have to remove himself from the vicinity of the action in order to give untrammelled access to any and all defenders however unlikely or likely they are to effect a tackle. A more sensible rule would allow him to continue in support of the play unless he has to change direction which might bring him into a blocking position against a defender.
That current rule could make it dicey for any player running too close to a dummy half who has moved forward in front of a stationary marker.

The foul play advantage i am completely happy with, I only wish it was applied more consistently. (There is that word again!)
Maybe because I’m getting to be a cranky old man too... I agree with you! :lol:

Page 41 explains how a player passing the ball is an obstruction.

It is permissible for player 4, after
passing the ball, to slow down in order
to position himself for a return pass from
player 5. He must give ‘right of way’ to
opponents who are running across in
front of him to tackle player 5 but is not
guilty of obstructing opponents who are
coming from behind him.


Player 4 passes to player 5 but
continues to run in front of him in order
to obstruct opponents who are running
across to tackle. Player 4 should be
penalised.

I'd argue pretty strongly he's guilty of both of these. He did not give right of way to the defender coming across to make a tackle, he takes several steps forward after he passes the ball, for a set play where Papalii comes back in behind him, the only reasonable conclusion the referees can make is that he's there to intentionally obstruct defenders. Otherwise why is he taking steps forward and stopping in the line, rather than stepping backwards to make himself available for a pass, or going forward far enough that he's not an obstruction?

It really is open and shut. A text book example of obstruction. It's genuinely baffling to me that we're having this discussion... well it's not actually, this is just the GH and how it operates i guess.

Hello there, Chicka.
I'm conversing with the supporters. Must be finals time!
I was stranded on Rottnest Island yesterday and missed the game. Awful turn of events.
I was in Wellington NZ and went to the fillums (Tarantino) with my niece and missus. I'm almost home now, with a double bill to watch tomorrow!
