Reds v Waratahs Rd 18 2012

[Hugh Jarse]

To early for a Reds vs 6th thread?

Careful. Watch for the Jinx.

Best to wait until the Fat Shiela is clearing her throat for the aria. Just ask the Chiefs!

 

[Bardon]

Higgers is a good player but he needs to change that upright running style close to the line, reminds me a little of Andy Powell.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Dumb, Dumb, Dumb by TPN.

Missed conversion leaves the door ajar for the Tahs.

 

[TOCC]

woooahhh

 

[Richo]

Fuck me, Polata-Nau. That is just shithouse.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

OMG! Slipper try!

Fire up that thread No4918.

I'd go for the jumper at the front being in a position like that.

What's going on with Harris' boot?

S L I P P E R !!!

 

[Bardon]

What's with the Aus hookers over throwing today. In the Saders v Force game a couple of them went so far over they were in the middle of the field.

 

[maxdacat]

17-11 reds

 

[Bardon]

What's the point of the Tahs having so many telegraphed dummy runs in midfield and leaving numbers short out wide.

 

[rugbyisfun]

Fuck we are woeful

 

[Dam0]

I thought it was legal but I must be confusing this with Loig.

Law 22.4(f):

(f) In this situation, defending players who are on their feet may legally prevent the try by pulling the ball from the tackled player’s hands or arms, but must not kick the ball.

 

[TOCC]

TPN down again... id be interested to see how much time a game he wasted on average

It's an essential element of back line play 2012?

 

[TOCC]

4th TRY WOOOOOOO

 

[Bardon]

Lucky the commentary clarified that the Waratahs doctor is in fact a medical doctor, I was worried with how the season has gone so far we might have resorted to a witch doctor.

 

[Richo]

Law 22.4(f):

At that point, surely it was obviously a penalty try? Or does intention matter in whether it's a "kick"?

 

[kiap]

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Law 22.4(f):

A Penalty try at that point in the game would have changed the entire context of the game.

Dummy runners certainly are part and parcel of the game. Telegraphing the fact they are dummy runners and allowing the defence to drift isn't a requirement though.
