If the referee can notice repeat infringements such as at the scrum, breakdown and offside line as Joubert does, he can certainly notice that the game he is controlling comes to a screaming halt with repeated delays of game by the same team. I'm not sure of the specific rule but there is a rule...

Agree, the key thing though is where on the rugby field he gives those penalties. There 'penalties' and there are "penalties"

Genia is captain if Horwill is out, Deans will not look elsewhere.

Why was the Lions deliberate tactic of laying down for a breather at every opportunity not addressed by Joubert? The Lions conveniently had a player go down at far too many stops in play for scrums and lineouts, delaying restarts by over a minute per time. It was like watching the Cheetahs of...

Eastwood looked line men V boys against Randwick. You can't deny Randwick's effort, but Eastwood were just cruising in 2nd gear. For Randwick it was a repeat of their effort against Manly

Vunipola didn't seem to get much reassuring support from his team mates during his horror scrum period. I saw only his hooker pat him quickly on the shoulder to encourage him. He's only 22 and he must have felt mighty lonely out there at times.

Can someone get Brendan Cannon (Captain Obvious) to please shut the fuck up

Good stuff. Re-post it on the BIL positivity thread.

Easts V Uni is on Sunday

Can't possibly include Horwill in the same class of thug as Loe and Botha

Is that kid from 30 years ago coaching in the NRL now?

Rucking was effective in getting people out of the way the next time they thought about doing it Crow.

Clever captains speak to the referee when their team is in possession after a penalty has been awarded their way or a try scored. The ref isn't under pressure to 'play on' and there is greater 'open to listen' evident. Sean Fitzpatrick and Cameron Smith (QLD RL) have mastered this technique...

And so he should, the other players were exhausted from the heat and he runs fast. There was space everywhere. Wait until he plays in NZ in the cold at night when the Kiwi's aren't hot and exhausted

Are you 'taking the piss' or been on it?

Weekend detention?
