Should see no more illegal restarts like the cock-up last Saturday. It has come to my attention that all QRRA referees have this week been issued the following edict. ‘Under Law 12.5(b) a team awarded a Penalty Try MUST be afforded the opportunity to realign to receive the restart. If they are...

Not sure why you are confused SX. The Law is quite clear. If you need more clarity you can review the Laws yourself. Normally after a Penalty Try the referee should be issuing a YC or RC or talking to the offending team's Captain about why the Penalty Try was awarded (game management) during...

The 2017 Laws were confusing regarding kick-offs and restarts after a score and restarts after a touchdown in goal and were covered under the then Law 13. Referees were provided guidance on how to manage the restart after a Penalty Try until the rewrite of the Laws for 2018 as there was an...

Anyone at the Reds game last Friday night, or at Sci-Fleet stadium in time to see the very end of the Reserve grade match between Wests and GPS, would have seen the incorrect restarts taken after the awarding of a Penalty Try. Fortunately in the Reds game there was no impact on the outcome in...

I would rate Matt Gicquel from GPS as the form No 7 of the Premier competition, and by a fair margin.

Is the Sunnybank No 8 who got red carded last week actually playing tomorrow? He produced a late massive shoulder charge to the head on an opposing player, right in front of the grandstand, and was deservedly directed to sit out the rest of the match. Was a magic wand waved over the judiciary...

The Harry Nucifora interview backdrop footage seemed to show a number of Bond tries coming from a charge down and dropped ball close to GPS line. Was their attack really good or did they benefit more from defensive pressure and bounce of ball?

I believe you will Bulldog is correct, once the currently incorrect Rugby Link Ladder is properly updated.

And you would think that that is how it should be in the lowest grades if you have front rower shortages. The issue is when you have contested scrums in lower grades (and therefore competent trained front rowers who can bench for higher grades) but somehow then can't find front rower reserves...

The livestream seems to show Souths rely very heavily on getting the ball wide as quickly and by any means possible to their speedy outside backs and hope they can run around the opposition. When this doesn't work they don't appear to have a Plan B. The forwards were average and poor...

Murphy payed Premier grade in what was his 100th cap, and Felsman played Reserve grade

GPS depth might be tested this year with only four starters from last years Prem Reserve premiership winning team playing against Brothers 2nd grade; with the rest playing Prems, retired, absent or injured. Will be interesting to see how the season progresses for GPS with the inevitable injuries...

The ARU would not have gone down a 'defo' track (I assume you mean definitely), however they would have taken into consideration what just about everyone undertaking a pub test would say - that he was almost certainly involved with cocaine again but legally we can't absolutely prove it so we...

Facts are there two proven charges (not just Xanax) plus whatever evidence there was around the cocaine bag on the ground. The issue with the cocaine was that police thought the evidence was not strong enough for the Courts, who have a high threshold, but the ARU investigation could take this...

Its on FoxSports 505 commencing at 2.00pm on Sat

The decision regarding Tui was in accordance with the directives to Referees and Game Management Guidance. The referee articulated this well as he reviewed the footage, in consultation with the TMO. The assessment by both of them was that the legs were lifted above horizontal (this...

The forwards went alright, especially given they had to play with a man down for most of the match but still held their own against the Rebels. Scrums were very good with the full eight and still went pretty well most of the time with only seven. Lineouts were average and certainly suffered...

He does still have two charges pending so there is still scope for him to be found guilty on two counts

Good objective summary Reg. Stewart certainly firmed his odds as a starting 10

Cocaine possession charge dropped. Two charges remain. What might this mean going forward?
