NRL 2022 Round 22 Discussion

[Mustafur]

Penrith completely overplaying their hand in attack, looks all Zac Lomax like.

 

[rnabokov]

I reckon Munster is terrific at FB which for mine is his best position. His defence is outstanding.

 

[Big Pete]

I really hate the inconclusive cop-out the bunker uses on captain's challenge. It really should be an anamoly where the footage is that scuffed you can't make a call one way or another. In the Nofoaluma example, we didn't see any vision of a strip, therefore it's just an unsuccessful challenge.

Then the bunker clear a push from Turuva.

 

[Mustafur]

Tesi that's how you do it.

 

[Wolfie]

How wasn't that a shoulder charge by Staines

does that only count if shoulder is first point of contact?

on replay his shoulder doesn't touch him it was arms and legs.

I don't have a clue!

Didn't tuck the arm.

For all intents and purposes, it still is a shoulder charge.

 

[Mustafur]

I don't have a clue!

according to the NRL:

As part of a change to the Judiciary and Match Review system, a player will be charged if:

• The contact is forceful, and;
• The player did not use, or attempt to use, his arms (including his hands) to tackle or otherwise take hold of the opposing player.

NRL Head of Football Brian Canavan said the amendment clarified and simplified the definition of a shoulder charge.


Weird that a rule on a shoulder charge has no mention of the shoulder even being used, I think he gets off due to arms being first point of contact which invalids it being one anyway but if it was his chest or legs first it's possible.

You mean the one on the Munster dive?

 

[Mustafur]

As good as Penrith have been with their youth production line, surely they have a half they could of brought in for this game, what they are using now is mud.

They have Katoa who is very highly rated but they won't pick him because he is going to the Phins. I think the other half they have whose name escapes me is injured.

lt's the same thing with most of the top sides to be fair, I think in that regard we probably have the strongest backup halves in the league, like if we lost Mam and Reynolds we could go with Kelly and Gamble and I feel the drop off wouldn't be that big as long as TMM is at the back.

 

[BroncsFan]

Tui with a hip drop just now... all good play on

 

[Foordy]

did I just see Kearney vaping in the coaches box?

 

[Mustafur]

Storms defence hasn't been this good since they had their full team.

 

[BroncsFan]

The stripping rule in the act of scoring is all well and good, but it should be a drop out and not play on for the opposition

 

[Sproj]

Staines just get hooked?
