Good back and forth game of footy this one. Both teams looking to use the footy and attack.

Thats a bad call. The Parra player was not even looking to make a tackle , so how can he be impeded

Re: 2024 NRL Round 3: Teams and Game Day
The call was fine. Jurbo stopped in the line and prevented the defender from having any chance of getting there. It’s an obvious penalty, as per the rules of the game.LimeGreenMachine wrote: ↑March 24, 2024, 4:39 pm Thats a bad call.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 3: Teams and Game Day
I think we all know that the defender wouldn’t have stopped Turbo, but if they allow that play we will see decoy runners trying to discretely impede defenders instead of trying to avoid them. The onus has to be on the decoy to avoid the defender.yeh raiders wrote:The call was fine. Jurbo stopped in the line and prevented the defender from having any chance of getting there.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 3: Teams and Game Day
Yeah missing my SC points aside for Turbo, im OK with the call too
Jurbo simply has to run the extra 1-2 metres to get out of the way. The onus HAS to be on the attacker not to impede
It's ugly when you get an instance like that and you have to take a great try away to reward a defender who wasnt even trying, but that's the rule. It's simple - dont stop in the middle of the defensive line.
As an aside, i actually think Tommy T's final pass in that sequence was thrown backwards too. I saw some commentary that it was a forward pass so who cares anyways, but i thought it was thrown backwards

Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 3: Teams and Game Day
Yep, that was a great ball from Tommy.
Pigs right, the onus simply needs to be on the defender.
I’m not having a go at anyone on here in particular, but there are certain people who think that we shouldn’t have obstruction calls made on the basis of black / white rules.
There are always calls for “interpretation” and people like Gould will whinge for hours saying “he wouldn’t have got there in time”.
While I respect Gould as a rugby league god, he is a horrible in-game commentator and does a great job in pissing viewers off.
Of course, there are times when I think the defence “wouldn’t have got there” - but who is to say the attacker would’ve maintained the same line, had the gap been smaller (without a defender being impeded)?
Who’s to say the other defenders aren’t making defensive decisions based on one of their teammates being somewhat impeded? In plenty of cases, I’m certain they are.
But I’m not interested in having the video refs guessing and making more of their own judgement calls on what’s going through a players mind.
I don’t want them guessing any more than they already do for penalty tries. Even that has gone a bit too far this season already.
Andrew Johns of all people, would know what eyes-up footy is all about. And how to sense opportunity based on defensive decisions and his peripheral vision.
It’s bizarre that he rarely, if ever, talks about that when a try is disallowed for obstruction.
In fairness, I’m rarely listening to his commentary these days. So I’m happy to be corrected if he has done a 180.

Re: 2024 NRL Round 3: Teams and Game Day
My issue is the impede part. Where was he impeded. He made no effort to be impeded. If anything he moved into Jurbo .
If that's what they want from the rule , fine but there should be another dozen penalties in game
