I agree on Payne, but disagree with others, Riki Kobe and Carrigan are folding *****, Flegs let off after the warning.We just lack physicality. Payne should be a monster in that regard with his size and athleticism but he hits like a pillow. Flegler goes into his shell once he gives away a penalty. I remember listing to an English forward, might have been Peacock saying when you got hit by blokes like Petero or Webcke you felt it. We really need to recruit some hard hitters.
We're gonna win.Oh well it’s only 8-0 but we need to be first to score to get back into and gain some momentum, our defence has been good we just need to close in when they spread it. Who thinks we have a chance ??
I’m at the game and didn’t see it closely. My opinion on double movements in general is if the ball is promoted it should be no try, it doesn’t matter if the attacker is stopped 1mm short and would have been guaranteed to score: if he promotes the ball it should be no tryMomentum wouldn't have taken him into the goal... he promotes the footy just onto the try line before being pushed into touch
Didn't see it, but doubt he gets anything other than a fine.Whats the ban for pushing an official? He's get 5 or 6 games for that in Superleague
Yes it should, otherwise you could never reach forward and plant the ball down because you would be “promoting it”.He lifted his arm off the ground short of the line and promoted the ball. The fact that momentum would’ve taken him into the in goal shouldn’t factor into the decision.
Here's another subjective opinion about the double movement rule in general, with the arm and the ball in contact with the ground then friction is increased. That slows the player down, does it give the defender move time to get their arm under the ball or even provide just that much friction they stop short of the line if they didn't promote the ball?
It's a dumb interpretation of the rule and they should go back to the black and white interpretation.
The top half of his body was in goal unfortunately for us…Clear double movement. He promotes himself with his left arm .as well as lifts his right. Momentum doesn't take his body into the in-goal.
he did it once...

Paynes problem and it's his problem in origin is he doesn't lift his level for the bigger games, what lets him dominate the normal game, gets him folded when it goes hard.
If momentum would’ve taken him in regardless he should leave his arm on the ground and let his body slide into the in goal.Yes it should, otherwise you could never reach forward and plant the ball down because you would be “promoting it”.
Promoting it is only an issue if momentum has stopped and his hadn’t.
