Jennings was in the vicinity but in order to be considered active, I assume he would had either made contact with the ball or impeded O'Neil. Jennings never touched the ball in that passage and O'Neil had the inside line, he didn't have to run around Jennings at any point.

As far as players and such not knowing the rule, it's such a rare occurance that I'm sure it just slipped everyone's radar. It was like when Moylan took the kick dead against the Broncos last year or the Reynolds field goal penalty from last year, the rule was in place, but since it rarely comes up it comes off as a spur of the moment decision.

And again, I can live with the call. I can remember when it was black and white, it was awful and robbed teams on several occassions. That's going back over a decade, so I'm glad that a distinction has been made between an active and passive participant.
 
I can live with active and passive but there is no way on Gods green earth that Jennings was passive in that play.
Passive is strictly taking no part in the play, eg, playing the ball and then standing still, realising you're offside and either stopping or stepping backwards. Running towards the ball is not passive.
 
Look, I'm a passionate Qlder and agree with your sentiment about Napa but you can't go off at a guy for doing exactly what you did straight after with your comment about Hayne and Tedesco. Hayne (with some help from the refs) single-handedly broke the Maroons 8-year streak, hardly a myth. Tedesco showed glimpses in his FIRST origin match that he very much has a future at this level. And yes, I feel guilty for standing up for NSW.

Hayne hasnt dominated at origin level though. Fair enough, he has played well in a few games, and if you define a dominant player as one who has only done it in a game or two then thats fine. I find the NSW press bigs up decent NSW performances into something they are not personally, like that game gallen had amazing stats in a few years ago when he was playing under the influence of peptides. If our boys were NSWelshmen we would be hearing from the rats and filth down south that they were the greatest sports team of all time. Players like Smith, Wally and JT have dominated origin football. Hayne is nowhere near that level. He needs to do a hell of a lot more consitently to be up there with those guys.

I also did say the you COULD say Tedesco was easily contained, not it was a fact. I do personally think we coped with him pretty easily. HE is a decent player, but he isnt as good as some would have us believe yet. I would comfortably put Munster on a par with him.
 
When even the NSW nuffies on LU have to basically openly troll in order to defend that shit last night, you know it was a trainwreck. Sutton, Archer and Cummins are literally cancer.

Hayne was dominant in that 2009 series if it wasn't for him QLD would've won those first 2 games by cricket scores. He was the difference in 2014 imo, his performance in Game 1 that year was the stuff of a truly great player. He should've been man of the series. He was a great player for NSW and Australia.

Yep, this. It's basically putting the onus on the defending player to know that the opposition player is in an offside position, and can therefore be ignored. Ridiculous ruling.

I bet you think he achieved everything there was to achieve in rugby league too?

...for the record, you're referring to Shayne, right?

The bloke who allowed Barrett to break Inglis' jaw with a dog shot and decided a penalty was sufficient, that Hayne right?

Because otherwise the Maroons were going to piss four in a row in no sweat. A w(h)inger wasn't going to have that much of a bearing.
 
Last year in the Preliminary Final, Sutton went to the video ref for the Boyd try to see if any of the players in front of the kicker put pressure on SKD. To see if they had an impact on the play.

If they did, was it going to be a try?

The offside player does not need to make contact with the player or ball for it to be called back.

Different interpretation, no consistency.

What he is capable of and what he has achieved are two different things. Jarryd Hayne for me plays for Jarryd Hayne. He isnt a great team player. He is great when he can be bothered, but he isnt anywhere near the class of Thurston for example. Imo, he hasnt produced enough regularly to be classed as a great yet. He still has time on his side, unless he finds a new dream to chase.

Hayne wasnt really dominant in the 2009 series, he just played well. About the only dominant thing in that series from a nsw point was Barretts dog shot on Inglis, who had a better series than Hayne anyway.
 
Just watching a replay, at 17.30 in the first half after Parker got called for a dubious knock on, sounded like Cam Smith said to the ref and I quote: 'Just cos he's leaving doesn't mean you have to make sure you send him out a winner.' While gesturing towards Gallen.

The reality is we won the series already after game 2. We didn't really try for game 3. The blues may think their time has come but guess what, there's 2 games at Suncorp next year so prepare for another spanking.

Doesn't automatically the Maroons victory, remember the series last time there were 2 games in Brisbane?
 
Unless there are injuries to any of the big 3, NSW won't be winning the series next year.

They aren't ready.

And you know what? NSW walking away after the game is just going to give us motivation.. And you know what happens when NSW gives us motivation..
 
So the Blues didn't hang around due to sledging during the game. So they are lying pricks as well then

Really? Where did you hear that? On the footy show last night Gallen and Maloney were saying there's no disrespect they didn't even realise he was talking coz the volume was too low.
