NRL 2023 Round 9 Discussion

[Brocko]

Got big concerns about Val heading into Origin..

Challenge... you're allowed to tackle them the second they touch it.

You do not need to give them time to juggle it and catch it.

 

[JayPee]

That is a straight up wrong call.

 

[BroncsFan]

@Big Pete help me out here... you aren't required to sit there and wait for the attacker to catch the ball... the second they touch it they're free game

 

[Dash]

How can none of them know the rules?

 

[Wolfie]

So you cant tackle a kicker, and now you cant tackle a player touching the ball.

 

[Kimlo]

I feel like that's a blatantly wrong call, I'm sure you've always been allowed to smash them once they touch it.

Yep it’s a knock on innit?

 

[Dash]

Cant tackle a player juggling the ball. That'll do me.

 

[BroncsFan]

To me that is a blatantly wrong call on the field... and then the bunker backs it up.

They're either both incompetent or it's proof that the bunker will just blindly agree with onfield ref.

The onfield ref knew he fucked up, because he stopped when he was trying to send up what his actual call was... and then the bunker used the same terminology

I'm not watching the game, but yeah, from my understanding once they've touched the ball they're free game.

I have never seen that play given a penalty. Two guys just not knowing the rules. Once you juggle it's fair game. Who is the video ref. Sounds like Steve Chiddy.

Adam Gee is in the bunker... he's deadset useless... but it's a Sutton on the field... So Gee is probably just sucking up his ass and agreeing with his completely incorrect call

 

[JayPee]

Stop diving ffs

 

[Brocko]

Yet another hip drop missed if the tackled player doesn't react

 

[Wolfie]

I presume thats a hip drop, but does anyone really know?

 

[BroncsFan]

Start a fight to get a penalty ... NRL 101

 

[LittleDavey]

That's worse than any of them last week by the NRL guidelines.
