NRL 2023 Round 9 Discussion

[Big Pete]

Yeah ... raiders player is bobbling it into contact and then the ball comes flying out.

They still haven't showed a replay of it

I went back to it and it appears Young touches it first into Stone.

A tough 50/50 call really.

 

[BroncsFan]

It comes off Young and hits Stone as he's tackling Young.

Knock on. But because Gough, play on.

It was so obvious... I literally don't know how he comes to the decision that he does.

Fox have completely ignored the situation even though that basically decided the game

 

[LockyersLeftBoot]

Holy ****, that was Klein/Cummins level incompetent. Deadset.

50/50? Come on Wolf, you’re being generous.

 

[Big Pete]

For the on-field referee, of course if it was the video referee making the decision it was 100% a Raiders knock on.

Put it this way, even though I thought Young got the first touch live I wouldn't have bet my life on it. I'm not like Freaky.

 

[BroncsFan]

Pissing down in Shitney... again... what a surprise

When I was watching it live it looked like the Canberra player clearly reaches back to grab for the ball with an outstretched arm before getting drilled in the guts by the Dolphins player. Then the ball comes flying out the back.

If that's the case then I'm not sure how you get it being played at by the dolphins player at any point

I don't think the referee saw the contact from Young and only saw it come forward off Stone who was making the tackle. However making the tackle now constitutes playing at the ball, which is what they ruled.

It was an incorrect call, but I can see watching that live where you've got to make a snap decision he's come up with it.

 

[Super Freak]

Come on Manly.

Is that a change in the rule interpretation?

My understanding of that rule is playing at the ball when the player is in the process of making the pass.... and they only brought that in, because they didn't want the ref having to try and determine if the defender is making a play at the ball or making the tackle within a split second.

That rule shouldn't have anything to do with a receiving player catching the ball... there is plenty of time for the ref to make a ruling on whether the defender is tackling or making a play at the ball.

The only decision that the ref has to make in that situation is whether the player receiving the ball is tackled without the ball or not

 

[Super Freak]

***** sake.

 

[Super Freak]

Come on Saab!

Fucking hell.

 

[Fozz]

Brimson sliding past the camera there was pure comedy

 

[BroncsFan]

Maroon sock is on the sideline.

Fox commentators are oblivious to it

 

[Super Freak]

Don’t take the fucking two.

Get their tackle count up.

 

[BruiserMk1]

Manly player lost that trying to get to his feet no?

 

[Super Freak]

Why is Garrick not fullback?

 

[BroncsFan]

Se

Why is Garrick not fullback?

Seibold things
