You could argue either way and probably the right answer is there was a missing condition for it to be one or the other.

He was a full squad member for 2 years - 2009 and 2010.

I understand your point but I think Aust U20s is all but a professional environment. Many of the players are playing super rugby or in the wider training squads.

I understand your intentions here but I think we should consider whether this is effectively creating guidelines that you can only post information if you are not 100% certain of its truth ie speculation is allowed but fact is not.

It wasn't a "quick throw". It was a "quick lineout". The issue of the ball boy touching the ball is not relevant. Only whether the conditions of a normal lineout were met - 2 from each team, went 5m, straight etc.

After 4 rounds, Souths and Eastwood look the teams to beat. IMO, Manly are not looking as good as last year despite their 4 wins to start the year. I feel their pack is not as dominant - has the loss of Peterson actually been more significant than expected, their scrum hasn't seemed to be an...

Any breach of this section of the Code would be subjective. IMO Cheika did not "impair public confidence in the honest and orderly conduct of a match" My suspicion is that this wording is actually related to match fixing.

The relationship between captains and referees is a convention of the game and nothing to do with 6A7 which is purely dealing with allowing the referee to be advised by ARs and TMOs. If players or captains are penalised or cited for their interaction with the referee, it is an offence under Law...
