MANLY 2013

[the coach]

Dave, I think there is too much confusion between the tackler (who has to go to ground to be designated as the tackler ie one knee on the ground) having to release the tackled player and an arriving player having the rights to the ball as long as he's on his feet (ie supporting his own weight whatever that means) before a ruck has formed (ie at least 1 player from each side on their feet and in contact, in close proximity to the ball). This all happens in the blink of an eye and is obviously open to the interpretation of the ref.

Maybe the Easts players were quizzing the referee on how he was going to police the breakdown

I thought he was talking about his Bay St Rose Hair cut he had earlier in the day.

2nds - lost the game in the first twenty.
1st - lost the game in the first twenty.

Wrong code, GF on the Peninsular and goes to show there is plenty of talent on the beaches.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

wrong thread as well but on the theme of sporting talent on the Insular Peninsular, you can see lots of that talent every day passing through immigration control on the Spit bridge on a series of School Buses heading for the Eastern Suburbs.
