Yeah that looks a pretty bad hit

Where was this poo poo a few weeks ago on him and Smith

Canberra / Queensland conspiracy

(more seriously, the refs make this rod for their own backs by ignoring so much and then overreacting to little things so much. They can never get their poo poo together and just do what the park refs do every week. Hell, they make mistakes all the time but manage to be consistent and not hilariously inept)

I think the core problem is that Ricky is a loving oval office.

They don't. That was the bit of Rickys rant I actually agree with.

And then the refs give the knights an offside penalty even though the offside player clearly had his foot in the in-goal.

Lol the knights get the win in a game with almost the worst refereeing of the year. Someone needs to check their sports betting accounts.

Although the dragons somehow bombing half a dozen tries is also part of the result. Absolutely hilarious.

Watching all the games today and Jesus Christ the standard of refereeing this year is horrific. So many blown calls and "refereeing by crowd" it's not funny. It's gone past the point of wondering whether they'll gently caress up something in the finals but rather how important the gently caress up will be.

Royal Comission Now.

Yeah it is shocking. But it has always been shocking. The refs consistently fail to enforce the rules which is maddeningly brain meltingly annoying.

If they came out and admitted they were just going to WWE it and fix poo poo then id actually be ok with that.

Considering the way all the commentators (esp. Parker) were mystified about the Tedesco try I did check the rules today and yep, if you kick the ball after dropping it you get to play on. Not quite sure wtf they were on about. Rule below for reference.

quote:

If, after knocking-on accidentally, the player
knocking-on regains or kicks the ball before it
touches the ground, a goal post, cross bar or an
opponent, then play shall be allowed to proceed.
Otherwise play shall stop and a scrum shall be
formed except after the fifth play-the-ball.

I mean, seriously, this is loving basic rule-knowledge (what a knock-on is). These guys love to pay out the refs, you'd think the commentators would have even the slightest clue.

hint both the refs and the commentators are fuckwits hth

It a good rule, means that the ref doesn't have to decide what is a drop or an intentional kick. Also seems like the obvious rule.

Anything that takes grey areas like intent out of the ref's decision making process is a good thing imo

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.
