The NRL is a bloody joke.

If you watch the whole presser, a minute after Annesley gets done being mealy mouthed about camera angles, etc, he shows the Cowboys obstruction confidently stating it was a penalty because the support runner was in front of the ball carrier. You sure on that Graham? it could be a camera angle, the support runner could very well have been behind the ball carrier.

On the technology front, how long does it take? The NFL has had a virtual 1st down line on the field for a decade at least, That's all you need, superimpose a straight line, forward or not?
Yeah - more technology

That'll solve it and make people happy!

On viewing the replay, the Rapana break downfield after which not a single Warriors player - not event the marker! - was onside, which didn't even get a six again waved, was almost as egregious. The commentators were genuinely flabbergasted when that wasn't called.

One thing I absolutely loathe is obstruction. This outside shoulder nonsense. Why isn't it considered an obstruction when a defender on the inside shoulder of the blocker is impeded. The defender is directly behind the receiver of the ball, depending on the angle. I've long held the belief that a player can also be obstructed simply because their line of sight is obstructed.

If they make it available as another piece of kit for the bunker to refer to when reviewing a try what's the problem? I'm not suggesting it gets used in general play, but it would hopefully catch a few of the "last pass a meter forward" problems. Having said that with the stupid backwards out of the hands BS approach, even a virtual straight line would be open to interpretation.

You can't use a straight line on the field to decide a forward pass. Physics dictates a ball thrown by a player running forward will actually almost always travel forward, even off "good" passes and even if thrown backward over your head.



That's why they went to "backward out of the hands" or backward motion or whatever it is these days.

Forward pass technology trial 'not far off' as Annesley concedes costly Warriors try error that cost the Canberra Raiders the match

Graham Annesley has conceded the Warriors scored a crucial try from a forward pass against Canberra and said the NRL plans to trial technology to eliminate such errors.

While the NRL head of football stressed that technology to determine forward passes won't be used in a 2021 Telstra Premiership match, he said it could be tested in a training session sometime this year.

If Nikorima’s pass went backwards out of the hand before floating forwards with momentum, my high school physics suggests for the ball to travel that far forward he was running at 8090 kmph.

He’s pretty quick off the mark however, so I expect that Annesley expects the officials factored that in.

The thing that gets me with this one was that Perenara was in the perfect position to call it, he knew it was forward, he even stopped at the point it was passed, but because the useless touch judges didn't give him the reassurance, he didn't pull it up.

I've seen that video before, and particularly the over the head is a pretty disingenuous example if you ask me. I personally think forward pass should be any time the ball travels forward in relation to the ground. The passer simply needs to give it enough backwards momentum to ensure that doesn't happen. It's an old school view, and I'll no doubt get shouted down on it. But Meh.

Injuries probably cost us a handsome win. Given injuries occurred, an incorrect call from the referee ended up costing us the win.
By that logic you could also say Jordan Rapana failing to ground the football cost us the win too.
You might.

It might also be pointed out that one of those is a legitimate part of the sport, while the other is a misapplication of the rules of the game. So they’re not really the same are they?

You won't get "shouted down" (how do you even DO that on a forum?), but you are wrong.

So NRL have introduced a new rule for an 18th man if three players have been ruled out via HIA.

I don’t think they’ve actually solved the problem with this rule change. 2 HIA maybe would have been an improvement.

Won't come into effect for another fortnight. I doubt it'll get used often (if ever) if it's only for players lost through HIA. People were using the last Raiders game as an example for why an 18th man is needed, but even then we couldn't have fielded an 18th man as we only lost two players to HIA.

Can guarantee if the rule was in place last week that Scott would have “suffered a head knock” and would have been interchanged.

But don't they have to fail their HIA after being assessed by an independent doctor? All good faking it to get subbed initially, but I assume you would then need to fake it for the doc to rule you out as well.

Yeah every single pass thrown by a fast moving winger would be ruled forward- even when they go to ridic lengths to throw it 2m backwards. The science is so clear they changed the wording years ago.

"Looks backward" when everyone is running forward and actually not forward are two very different things. They aren't even travelling half the pace a top NRL player would be moving in those videos- so the forward error would be even more magnified. Note the amount of forward passes that are called if the ball runner is suddenly stopped/stops for some reason or the pass occurs right on a fueld marking line- the physics issues becomes more obvious.

Yep.

Our best players make a poor decision or two, a misread and maybe a skill error or two per game. Refs will too.

This was the argument for 2 refs back the late 2000s.

I'm ok with one ref despite fatigue. I think at least the players learn to deal with the devil they have, instead of trying to play to two different interpretations.

I commented on it recently and for years- I hate the amount of emphasis ref decisions get in commentary and media in general. Most things shrugged at as "50/50 move on" at the ground become needless negativity in a telecast.

And junior leagues/refs amplify it horrendously to the grassroots. League isn't alone in that, but to grow the game, improve that aspect.

If that option was available, I would absolutely instruct him as a coach to charge in for a tackle hit the deck and we'll figure it out from there
That's part of why i've pulled about from emergency replacement options, there is avenues for gaming the system

where as an extended bench with same number of interchanges, just provided the adaquate level of flexibility and use in game as you see fit. If you mismanage that bench situation then the questions need to be leveled at the coach.

If Curtis Scott was that damaged, and I'm sure he was, any opinions on just replacing him with Starling in the same position? Or Starling to the wing, Bailey into the centres?

At least it would have put Hodgson in charge on those last couple of sets...
