Yes you can start charging from between the posts. It is a rugby league rule that you can't stand between the posts that has infiltrated our game.

To be honest I don't think it's worth penalising. In most instances the reason they dummy is because they realise there isn't enough time and space to take advantage of by taking a quick throw. Cause and effect? Hasn't had any material effect on the game to be honest.

Whilst it may be dangerous, I have been refereeing for 7 years now and we haven't heard much about this type of tackle considering the stuff we talk about, particularly the heightened awareness of tackles beyond the horizontal and contact with players who are in the air. I'm sure if the powers...

Sorry mate - just went to look back - all those comments regarding that incident were muddled up and I got confused with what you said compared to what other people said. I sincerely apologise. But as people above has said, TMO can't step in on foul play in Shute Shield. The reason is because...

So apparently the heckling that the referees/AR from the West Harbour supporters against Warringah was acceptable in your mind, but I just saw the replay, he fell awkwardly, that's all it was, there was absolutely no intent in it. Get your West Harbour goggles off mate, I think everyone is a bit...

Thought this was appropriate, considering that there always seems to be a lot of potential referees on this forum: NSW Rugby Referees are experiencing extreme difficulty appointing to all games in the Suburban calendar. We barely have enough referees to cover all of the fixtures from week to...

This has been sent out to all Subbies clubs. Thought it would be appropriate for to be here as well: NSW Rugby Referees are experiencing extreme difficulty appointing to all games in the Suburban calendar. We barely have enough referees to cover all of the fixtures from week to week. As the...

In the earlier games today Main Semis: GPS 1s beat ISA 20-13 CAS beat CHS (can't remember the score) Plate Semis: Country beat GPS 2s 13-12 CCC beat AICES comfortably Bowl Final - GPS 2s smashed AICES Plate Final - CCC comfortably beat Country (after Country played most of the 2nd half with...

There was a late pull out unfortunately, these things happen (players pull out late as well). The referee's human resources are stretched to its limits this time of year when there is Premiership, Subbies, and all of the major School Association matches are on. And in terms of official...

Would anyone be able to post each player from their state by position: I'll start with the ones I know I added some in - LG Allan Ala'alatoa Tighthead prop Luke Burton Inside Centre Sam Croke Backrow - no. 8 then 6 in this squad Jack Dempsey Back Row 7 then 6 in this squad Lolo...

Well that is good to know as well. However, as I said in my post as well, as he tried to completely milk a penalty in the first minute of the game, it could have been a bit of a "boy that cried wolf" situation, where because he has done it previously in the game, the referee and AR could have...

To be brutally honest as well, Harvey milked it for all it was worth as well. Earlier in the game, Dave Harvey tries to milk a penalty by attempting a quick line out and throwing it straight into the Uni player. When he does that he throws the ball forward ...

For those who are complaining about the Hooper YC. I am a referee and whilst whenever I watch the Wallabies player I am as a proud supporter as the next bloke, I did not feel sorry for the YC, and I have touch judged Hooper before and he is an absolute top bloke. The IRB, SANZAR, ARU and every...

We can expect to see a number of Scots players going to Randwick due to the Kelly influence, with the possible exception of Hamish Dunbar who would probably follow his brother to Uni

Also - a YouTube link for the game?

No room to move for that tackle. Player landed on his head - referees were told at the start of the season that any tackle past the horizontal where the tackled player lands on the head/neck region AND/OR hand which would have broken the fall, automatic red card. We are not going in the...

Obviously as everyone knows Tony Dempsey is Head Colts coach at Gordon next year. Expect to see a lot of Riverview boys go there. A realistic aim for them would be 2 teams, would be great to see 3 either in 2014 or 2015. Parramatta recruited mainly from the 2012 Oakhill 1st XV and the 2012...

SJRU Grand Finals are this weekend - what are people's thoughts?

Reason I think is because Steve Walsh hasn't done a Shute Shield game this year, and I think it would be policy that Finals matches can only be refereed by referees who have done games throughout the year.
