I don't think it was reviewed by the TMO - I think they made the call live after the try. In their minds, a penalty try was probably moot after an actual try was scored but it may have been a very rare example of the penalty try case of where a try would probably have been scored in a better...

The AA foul play overrides the ruck infringments. The Mapimpi foul play was after the try (as you detailed) - how O'Keefe handled this is as per the Law Book.

SA 15 was Yellow Carded and the game finsihed 15 on 13 and we dropped the ball again when we should have scored one more try.

Some games have been moved to Daceyville. No 2 is not being used anymore. EDIT - 1 game at Daceyville. 1 Sutherland Cup at No 2. The rest on Woollahra No 1.

Is it really that simple to improve the coaching skills of 1000s of school teachers across the country?

The Shute Shield has been a very even comp this year but the overall standard hasn't been great. The 2 semis on Sunday were further evidence of the standard as they were both dour, disappointing matches. There haven't been many players to stand out as future rep players.

I have to give a plug to the burgers (run by the Dee Why Hotel) at Warringah yesterday. They were excellent and good value too. Definitely the best burger that I have had at a suburban rugby ground.

Losing 2 Sinclairs, Turner and a few others to season ending injuries changed the Norths team. I still thought that they would do better today.

Code for we don't have any injuries yet in this position.

I don't think this is aligned with the national strategy though which is to grow the game from the top down in Western Australia and Victoria. I don't think you can choose to have 5 professional teams where a number of them don't have a player nursery to fund the professional team and then ask...

plus it is GF day on Saturday for the 3rds, 4ths, Colts 2 and 3.

Double header at Rat Park on Sunday afternoon. About 1.30 and 3.30.

ugly half time score of 70-14. 103-28 wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

He's the referee for SA v Argentina on 24 September

Maybe. In this case, the rationale is a referee who has been injured and needs some time in the middle rather than a development opportunity.

Looks like Gleeson is starting

Who knows what the selectors think about Gordon but he didn't seem to have a great season at the Rebels this year as they often picked Matt T (who many would agree is out of position at 10). His form in 2023 and 2024 will probably be the most relevant as you would think in 2024 we will have...

I have heard they are headed for Div 4 next year. It might have just been speculation. Of course, everyone will be unhappy if they are too good for Div 4.

although Valetini is a very hand goal kicker too. He and Nathan Russell were impressive with the goal kicking last weekend (and through the season).

That is not the way referees have interpreted this otherwise tries where players have momentum or slide into in-goal would be PKs for not releasing. IMO the player is tackled when the carrier's momentum stops. The grey area is when the tackler falls off or releases while there is still...
