The Shepherd

[happy_tiger]

Happy, there is no such thing as a Shepherd in the Rule Book… Actually, a player in possession CAN run behind his own players, as long as no opposition player is obstructed from actually making an attempt of tackle.

Unless FPN is Superman, he was never going to be in a position to tackle Farah!

Yes its real name in obstruction and it is in the rule book

Why do players drop on the ground when they have done the wrong thing ?? To pray to the Footy Gods or to look for Geo's tickets which blew off yesterday ??

Regardless we should of never have lost that .
Raiders should be commended for having a fighting spirit and winning that after being down 22-0 midway through the 1st half.
Shows they have character , something i think we are lacking at the moment.

AS JT said yesterday , it did affect the outcome , a try was scored

JT doesn't know the rules either We are both dopey then ??

He is being polite….10K fines we don't need..

Who was obstructed ?

I think it should have been a penalty. Clear shepherd for me, old school run around your own bloke.

But I understand Geo's frustration, the refs have to be consistent, which they are not. Rule the same way every time, same interpretation, and people do not get upset.

It's like the Hodges try in origin, which should have been called up for the same reason, but was not.
