Whether it technically meets the criteria for a cannonball, its a dangerous tackle with serious ability to injury a prone player
I don’t know that his solution is right, would have to think more about it but that sort of tackle HAS to get legislated out of the game. Whether he technically hits the hamstrings first doesn’t change his intent, which is to attack the legs and buckle the player, and if you wreck his knee is the process, so be it
That all being said, and I won’t harp on it because as others highlighted last night, he’s improved dramatically in this area… but tarps can’t react like that and get himself binned. He’s just gotta compose himself a bit.
I think in the NRL you want rules to be as black and white as possible. But when it comes to safety issues like this I’m more open to grey. I think they should adjust it to: “it is illegal to use dangerous force on a stationary (or near-stationary) player’s legs as judged by the referee. “
I’d like to see the rule also cover unnecessary force for players on the ground or submitting. I don’t like seeing the thugs of the game deliberately smash a prone player on the ground when a hand on them constitutes a tackle. They’re only doing it to injure.
If we get to the point we are legislating how hard people can tackle each other then it gets a bit dull.
Sometimes people get hurt in tackles. The rules can't cover every circumstance like this guy getting away with a not quite cannon ball- but you can jam in the ribs of a guy and break one or whack a shoulder into his kidneys in just the same circumstance and it's A OK.
My central point is- not everything has to be legislated. There's room for things that are a bit ****. Not every single injury needs to be legislated against or it never stops. They've already stopped the cannonball. No one got hurt. But we want to change the rules... again!?
They are coached techniques. And yes, **** does happen, it's a physical game but when you're engaging in very specific techniques that have great risk of injuring a player, it should be legislated out. There was absolutely no reason what so ever for that player to go at Tapine's knee's that way.
It's not natural and he wouldnt be doing it if he wasnt specifically instructed to attack Tapine, a man known for being able to stand in tackles, that way.
Re: 2022 Rd 20 V Titans: Game Day
I don't disagree. But for the sake of preventing the danger, ref's can call held. We have a little habit in the game of refs calling held and everyone being given 3 more seconds after that to keep going. A mix of applying both is enough, I'm on board with that.greeneyed wrote: ↑July 31, 2022, 9:17 pmOr they could just say... that's a dangerous tackle, driving at a player's legs with force while he's being held up by two other blokes.

Re: 2022 Rd 20 V Titans: Game Day
I don't know about specifically instructed. But yeah, Tapine tries to stand and walk in every tackle, so people will try and get the legs to stop that. The bloke got it wrong and was penalised (just got reversed due to Joe's actions retaliating), I don't think it's quite worth all the hoopla.Botman wrote: ↑July 31, 2022, 9:22 pm

The worst act at a knee I've ever seen was just brushed over and completeky ignored- Cam Smith going after Croker's knee off the ball when play had stopped. I don't think either one particularly needs a new piece of legislation though.

Re: 2022 Rd 20 V Titans: Game Day
There are points where a player has dived on a ball and has no opportunity to get up or protect themselves. I see the fair players just fall softly on them or put a hand on them. I see the grubs deliberately drop heavily driving in shoulders to cause injury.BadnMean wrote: You're supposed to smash the other bloke when he has the ball though.

I’m here to watch football. For the best football players win the game. I’m not here to watch someone deliberately try to injure a prone player.
But that’s just me…

Secondly i dont believe it was penalised at all, it was play on at the time, in fact it was reviewed due to the stink, and cleared by the bunker as legal. There was no penalty at all coming for us on that play. The league feels that tackle is acceptable. They are wrong about that.
Thirdly, attacking knees like that put peoples livelihoods at risk. If someone was attacking a head/neck in such a targetted way it wouldnt last a round. We're either about player safety, and that means protecting players against all deliberate dirty play that puts a player at unnecessary risk or we're not. And absolutely no one could IMO, credibly argue that action on Tapine was necessary or that it wasnt dangerous.

There is already a rule in place that is currently not enforced that would resolve this and that is to penalise players for involuntary tackles. If that rule was enforced there would be less instances of heavy contact on a player laying on the ground with no intention of getting up. I personally can't stand involuntary tackles and would love to see what would happen if a team forced the hand of a ref by not touching them at all

Re: 2022 Rd 20 V Titans: Game Day
Yep I also think a rule along the lines of “unnecessary force by a third person on a non moving player” would stop or reduce these ridiculous tackles.
As well as the third guy hitting the legs with force, I also hate the guy who comes in late and forcefully hits the kidneys and/or ribs of a held player.

When Croker limped up in his knee brace to accept his Captain of the Year award at the Dally M that year and the interviewer asked "How's the knee?" I SO wanted him to answer "It's all right, no thanks to Cam." But of course Croker is too gracious for that.

As noted above, there’s plenty of cases where a player cleans up the ball and has no real chance of getting up.
For the cases where a player dives (usually to not be forced back in goal) the league has clearly decided that’s fair game. If so I think the should protect players by punishing acts with intent to injure.
If you do go back to penalising players for voluntary tackles, you’re going to end up with worse looks like players crawling to avoiding getting to their feet where they’ll clearly end up in goal.

Re: 2022 Rd 20 V Titans: Game Day
I'm still pretty happy with this win, but I've been reflecting on the past few weeks a bit
...we have actually had some pretty crazy luck right? I'm nervous about these games "we should win" that are coming up. We don't seem to be able to score 'simple, clinical tries' like many of the other clubs. For example...
- Sharks, Huddy charges at the kicker, catches it on the full, runs 70m to win it... amazing, but phew
- Huddy grubbers through for himself with 30 seconds to go against tke Knights... amazing, but phew.
- we barely beat Melbourne, that insane pass from Paps that Kris caught, barely, with one hand, ball against his leg, runs 80m to score... amazing, but phew
- whatever the freaking heck Schiller did in the corner... amazing, but phew
- then this week with the Titans, miracle flick pass from Huddy... amazing... and then Cotric in the corner sort of barely catches it, spins 360 and hangs onto it to score in the corner... phew
It's why it's so stressful for our little family to watch. We live life on the bleeding edge, we get 'dudded' by the Warriors, 'dudded' by the Dragons, it's like no result is ever in the bag, and a huge portion of our points are from miracle plays.
Now... where's my drink...

Re: 2022 Rd 20 V Titans: Game Day
In my view, Booth should have been penalised and charged by the MRC under the "third man in" provisions.
Given both the officials and the MRC did neither, the NRL clearly has to issue some instructions to enforce the rule.
Third man in
When a player in possession is held in an upright position by two defenders, any other defender[s] must make initial contact to the player in possession above the knees/knee joint.
Regardless of the point of impact, a player can still be penalised for any ‘forceful, dangerous or unnecessary contact’ at the legs that involves an unacceptable risk of injury to the player in possession.
In relation to this type of tackle, the Referees will call ‘held’ and then ‘release’.

No wonder fans and commentators are regularly confused by what Annesley discusses in his Monday review.
A few weeks ago he was doing verbal somersaults claiming a Roosters pass wasn’t thrown forward, despite anyone who was side on in the stands could clearly see the ball thrown forward straight from the hands.
He’s unfortunately creating more confusion amongst the on and off field referees. I’d hate to be a ref these days trying to make ever more complex decisions on the fly.

They don’t need to rewrite the rule. They have it spot on already. They just need to enforce it properly and not hide behind a condition that’s explicitly called out as not strictly required in the rule!
Now I’m all angry again!
Re: 2022 Rd 20 V Titans: Game Day
I have to admit that is the stuff that makes me most angry too
Like the Ben Hunt situation... everyone is talking about bringing in new rules and then you find out, no it's fine. They have the rules. We just need to **** enforce them
Under that rule GE quoted, its unquestionably a penalty even IF it technically hit the hamstring first.

Re: 2022 Rd 20 V Titans: Game Day
Spot on. There’s certainly some confusion out there.
Remember when we got a penalty just before the half time whistle, but then the ref changed his mind and said it had to be a 6 again after the siren sounded, then it turned out there was a rule giving the option for the ref to blow a penalty.
So confusing.

Re: 2022 Rd 20 V Titans: Game Day
I dislike Graham Annesley very much. Politician. Was a sub-par referee and administrator of GC, and now hopeless at what he's doing. Picks and chooses to suit the organisation. Confuses the hell out of people, and the NRL's refereeing and MRC would be one of the most inconsistent decision makers. He's the Head of Operations for quite some time but it all hasn't improved on his watch - the refereeing, bunker use, and MRC citing and charges. I would have more confidence in the legal system of some South East Asian judiciaries than the MRC and the bunker.
And he can **** take Horse Maxwell out of the building with him.

I guess Ricky and I just watch the game at a deeper level than you.Pete Cash wrote: ↑July 30, 2022, 5:29 pmBilly mate you had him pencilled in for fullbackBilly Walker wrote: ↑July 30, 2022, 5:27 pmBut even for a 5th choice winger speed is a key requirement. Edrick Lee never rose to great heights with us but at least the potential was there. He was quick and if he could sort the hand out and fix a few things then the sky was the limit. If Hoppa is truly that slow it hardly matters what other tools he adds he will still be slow…dubby wrote: ↑July 30, 2022, 5:21 pmHoppa was limp.Billy Walker wrote: ↑July 30, 2022, 5:06 pmWhy do we keep collecting slow outside backs?Hong Kong Raider wrote: ↑July 30, 2022, 5:02 pm
Hoppa is slow, Tino outran him at the end and beat him on the outside
Slower than a snail in reverse. Couldn't break a tackle and made stupid handling errors. But, he is our what....5th choice winger? Hoping HSS is ready next year.
Are you actually watching the games ? How could you not see he's a bit slow

Probably for the best this season, hopefully it’s good-busy!
Looks like that’s the Raiders done for the finals so perhaps we’ll have a bit of extra time to update scores on the finals
