CROSS FORUM NRL 2023 Round 8 Discussion

Can anyone at NRL explain how Haas did a hip drop?

Both his feet stayed on the ground, does every fucken injury require a player to blame?

It's stupid, this hip drop shit is ruining the game, because they want to go straight to sin bins for it.
 
I'm convinced it isn't even really about hip drops specifically at this point. It's exactly like every other "crackdown" we've seen in the last few years: it's the NRL and the coaches playing chicken over who really controls the way the game is played.

Whether or not it was a hip drop is immaterial there being no specific charge wording for hip-drop but it is a "tackle" that the NRL has previously decreed that wish to stamp out so as to avoid player injury

The charge for Haas is one of Dangerous Contact which is defined in the NRL Judiciary code as

Dangerous Contact
A Player is guilty of misconduct if he carelessly, recklessly or intentionally makes dangerous contact with an opposing player

Accepting that Haas had no intention to injure I'm not sure that any impartial observer would argue that his contact with RCG was not dangerous.

The decision for a referee to call "TACKLE" is based too much on whether momentum has been halted and as players are "Bigger! Stronger! Faster!" (c) 1999 or 2000 Warriors NRL Campaign I Forget Exactly Which, these days, stopping a player's momentum often requires more than one tackler - well, that but probably more the fact that the Storm started the multiple-tackler craze and the NRL never thought to put a stop to it/allow it only in certain situations.
The only reason for one-on-one tackles now - and of course there's players peeling off to allow this to occur so technically it's a one-on-one tackle because there's only one player when the ref yells "TACKLE" but it's not - is the stripping rule.
Maybe something as drastic as a "No off-load in a one-on-one tackle situation" rule or "the attacking player gets to take an extra step in a multiple-tackler situation" rule is required?
Of course, the ultimate rule change would be to ban multiple-player tackles or rule that those don't count as part of the attacking team's Set of Six...

I agree it leaves it to interpretation.

And it is a cat and mouse the game evolves and new techniques developed to gain the upper hand.

It can be done but on the fly is a bit silly. Like Brandy and Ennis pointed out they don't know what it is. Both coaches were uncertain what it is. So it appears the only people who know sit in the bunker.

A bit left of field
 
Raining in Sydney again... has there been a weekend in that it hasn't rained down there yet?

They are going to give the bulldogs a leg up due to all their injuries.

The sharks will still steam roll them but the refs will keep it close

Might be a long night the Bulldogs.

 
Canterbury.. they started the season okay, not great but reasonable..

Last couple of weeks though they've copped some beltings and it's shaping that way here again.

It does provide an effective way to influence the game. Discretionary too. Hard to be as critical of hip drops as, for example, Ashley Klein calling a PTB, play on, knock on, or whatever it was yeterday.
