*whoosh*

oh boy..

You see, if you had of said something like, "plenty of brumbies players have profited out of property development" it may have worked better, that is you draw a link between a shady area of a clubs past and use that to insinuate they are rorting the salary cap.. but the ground hire fees, is clearly a stigma associated directly with the Tahs and not the Reds, Rebels, Brumbies and so forth.

Not to mentio the turf at Suncorp is abysmal

Why don't you call it into Alan Jones, I'm sure he enjoys a Gif as a satirical response

Am on the beers already & getting pumped for the event formerly known as the festival of hate!!

As long as we can keep 15 men on the field for the full 80 (I'm looking at you Quade) and not give away too many stupid penalties we've got this one.

We can rely on the 'Tahs dropping more ball than us so Reds by lots....

We all said something similar v the Kings last week!

Good to see QLD wearing proper QLD jersey and shorts and not some Liverpool FC wannabe

 

[lou75]

its called skills boys - you can't miss a kick from 20 m in front of the goal posts

Could someone who knows more than me clear something up. If you incidentally block the ball off in a tackle and cant move away, is it 'not rolling away' regardless of the fact that you can't?

 

[lou75]

woo haaa

 

[Twoilms]

Also, tackle without the ball?

thats a hard one to call
if you make the tackle and can't roll away - is it not rolling away ? you have to make as best effort as possible to roll away

Generally yes. It usually depends on the effort you show to get out of the way, but if you're blocking the ball you're liable to get pinged.

A good indicator of the quality of the ref I reckon. Some will just ping people straight away, others use some common sense.
