i remember now flatley and bartholemews were the same age group year of 1994 with bart going on to play brumbies flatley reds i think.

i bet there were a few kids who did similar back then maybe not year 8 but from year 9 on. would be good to hear if anyone knows some names and then what become of them as player. i am pretty sure a kid bartholemews did that for state high early 90s but not sure of exact years. Would any kid be...

The game modifications dont state this but the comp rules may have something in them that rules out any lifting??.

So if you penalise for a lifting tackle where legs go above the horizontal it has to be an automatic yellow. If all referees apply that directive it will take it out of the game like the shoulder charge which you may only see once a game even at grassroots level where the skill and knowledge is...

so have the three GPS teams actually been announced yet??? WHen i was a boy they put them out in the courier mail.

The whole idea of AIC selection is to trial for QLD schoolboys isnt it?? Thats why individuals should be selected on their skill set, speed and their size. How many true chances are in AIC 1 to gain Qld schoolboys jersey??

Gee FFF another example of ashgrove nepotism (club included). We do want AIC to actually beat GPS and have a decent representation in the QLD schoolboys teams dont we???

Thank you for that rationale as is the only response with a definative set images to process on the run, the idea a tap back constituting a pass hence the original player catching the ball makes sense enough for me. Thanks

so why does the law say "..before the original player can catch it."????

Of course it has gone forward you said so yourself

sorry the 90% is correct

I did bring it up in this foram as I observed Johnathon Kaplan mention on a SA ref Q&A forum that that is a law that is not applied well at all levels. And the 10% is correct.

No but the law states ".... and goes forward, and the ball touches the ground or another player before the original player can catch it."

Hi All I ruled a knock on last weekend as per the definition in the law book to many a boo and hiss where a player propelled the ball forward off his hands but then batted back to another player who caught the ball. Is this the correct way to apply the law or is it being too literal of the...

so whos got the late mail on team changes and hot tips for tomorrow?/

I think we aussie rugby refs are trying to make our whistles sound like our nrl counterparts... but they must be taught that at ref school as they all have that same sound going on. i think it sounds good anyhows......once again any other tips???

come on now lets get back to the rugby advice

Sorry to change the subject but if there is any other referees out there has anyone got any whistle blowing techniques for a newbie??? I not too bad but cant seem to get the pro sounding whistle come out. As in my experience the better the whistle the better people think the ref is.
