LIVE GAME Wests Tigers v St George *Spoilers

[gregjm87]

I'm pretty sure that he didn't have control grounding, but if it was acknowledge that he was tackled/interfered with in the air and you could see Kelma's arm being grabbed which caused him to lose control of the ball then surely it should have been a penalty try.

Alternatively if it was a penalty in a try scoring situation is that not a professional foul and 10 in the bin?

Help me Mr Annusley, I am confused.

There is a rules committee that meets several times throughout the off season. They essentially outline how rules will be interpreted and enforced. Whilst i dont agree with most of their decisions of how rules should be interpreted, i don't overly care so long as the outlined interpretation is consistent. The tackled in the air not being a penalty try is consistent with past rulings and in line with the what the rules committee's interpretation.
Basically they felt the need to protect attacking players when in the air but agreed that the defender has little option when beaten in a contest but to attempt to defend the try so we are left with the interpretation that we have seen today.
Another is side-on 'shoulder charges' by cover defenders attempting to bump an attacker over the sideline is a penalty, but not the penalty try or sin-bin that typical shoulder chargers or penalties that stop a try being scored are.

That was me. No inside info, I just don't see To'a as a fullback. He does not seem to organise numbers in defence and has not shown any ball playing ability. I would have Logen Dillon at fullback, Kepaoa and To'a in the centres, Nofo and Gildart on the wing. I think that is the best of some truly crappy options.

Jill Tart back to UK 👍🏻

Brooks was playing as a fullback on that try they scored

I thought Gildart was just over here on work experience.

You're telling me he gets paid?

$50 for every bombed try and missed tackle. He’s on track to buy a small pacific island.

It was a try and they checked after it was awarded and then looked at the grounding for one second. Terrible decision. We've had heaps this season.

They check plenty more times (and angles) than the one second clip shown on tv. Surely all fans know this by now.

I am not saying he is good, but he is quick and a winger has a lot less defensive decisions to make. We have no one else and he may be less bad there.

There are still sand bags on the building site at Concord that will suffice 👍🏻

When is the centre of excellence supposed to be done?

 

[FinestTigers]

It would have been deserving and nice to get the 3 straight wins since whatever,
But the focus should be on the teams recent Performances,
This team (and it's a depleted team) is now achieving good consistent footy for the third week in row, But just prior to those 2 wins many people did not expect this to happen for the rest of the season.

We should be grateful for these performances and will just get better when our injured players return,
It's also worth noting that T Sims was full of praise of our forward pack and said that we are a very good team.

The stats showed too that we were the better team, so, a bit unfortunate but well played again WT.

We’re coming unlucky 13th on the ladder atm but our luck will change soon 🍀

Can’t afford to drop games where you are the better team.
We’ve dropped 3 this year already.
Not good enough if you are fair dinkum.

80:1 bro 😉

Good for.a sly $10 🙏

 

[TSP]

I never really blame the refs, but It was garbage officialdom out there.

Still we cruelled a few chances.

Some great forward performances all the same.

Flip of the coin and we dropped it!

It’s been canned

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

After the last two wins, aiming for 3 in a row was pushing it too much.

They’re calling it the Garner of excellence now. A place for disinterested types.

He was Shit today … normally pretty reliable ..
I blame you know who for repeatedly going down the left with the useless Pom and the other bloke who played his 1st game in a year .
While on the other side we had a winger doing nothing apart from chatting to the crowd
