    I wouldnt expect too much of Douehi the first few games back. Just look at Harris and McInnes, neither started back on fire on return from ACL injuries.

    Hopefully we get end of 2021 season Stefano to end this year too

    I was thinking the same. His run last year was with Twal and Tamou out. Could end up being a very cheap player capable of a 50 average to finish the season, who plays round 17.

    Stefano definitely on my radar. Hoping to see him Rd 16 before deciding on picking up for 17

    But but but the commentators always assure me that taking the two is what the opposition wants you to do! You've gotta take the aggressive option, you have them on the ropes here!

    I always thought they wanted you not to score points, personally, but hey.

    Makes me roll my eyes every time they bring out that cliche.

    Yeah they all do it, but Blocker especially - he has literally never seen a situation where a team shouldn't go for it.

    I'd bet the analysis would have teams taking the 2 a lot more than they should.

    If he’s starting at prop and the bench looks favourable then I might just go ahead with it. Who knows, it feels so far away

    precursor wrote:Video refs not being able to rule on forward passes has to be one of the stupidest rules in the NRL. It works absolutely fine in union and it’s virtually the same thing as ruling on a knock on.

    That was one of the #codeincrisis moments back in the day, where video refs rules passes forward that may/may not have been backwards out of the hand so they decided it was too hard.

    But then in a recent game you had a ref pretend a pass was a bat-on so they could rule on it anyway. Which shows the absurdity.

    If they get the chip in the ball to work though, I fear we will never get through a set of six without a forward pass from dummy half. At least for a few rounds.

    Other things I don't like:
    * golden point in regular season games
    * golden point, generally. It's bad footy to watch, with a few rare exceptions
    * the 7-tackle set restart if a ball goes dead. Seems disproportionate punishment for a grubber going a bit long
    * the other team not being able to pickup a kick restart that doesn't go 10m
    * tries being allowed from grounding with your torso, or anything that isn't a hand
    * tries being allowed when a guy is wrestling in a tackle, held-up, for 15-20 seconds, way after it would be called held anywhere else
    * anything that is reffed differently in the goals compared to the 100m in between
    * the way refs will let the play go to a try, so they can get the video ref to check something 50m earlier. One day a player will deliberately get tackled 5m out to end that nonsense.

    Also I like field goals but it's weird that the act of kicking a field goal involves a deliberate knock-on. Which makes me think, if a guy drops a pass cold, but kicks it on the bounce, should it not just be play on? Why aren't players doing this? Aside from that one time Benji scored that way, I mean?

    Also, half my house finally got the COVID, including me. So chances of hot takes and shitposts have risen exponentially.

    They changed/fixed this so you cant claim a 'drop kick'

    The ruling is (was?) that to be a drop kick, you have to drop the ball with the intention of kicking it.

    So if you want to do a little grubber, then it doesn't matter if the ball hits the ground before/after you kick it. As you were trying to kick the ball, then a drop kick is a legal method of doing so.

    If you just drop the ball because you are a klutz, and swing your leg at it on the way down - then this is not dropped with intention to kick, so its knock on if it hits the ground.

    With the benji one from years ago, he was clearly intending to kick it, so play on (as per the rules of the time, whether you agree with them or not)

    Didn't Billy Slater notoriously claim he 'meant it' when the Storm scored off a dropped kick as opposed to a drop kick, prompting a rule change?

    To be fair, just how much "coaching" would the Lebanon WC team require. It's not like there's any KPI expectations RE performance or wins.

    It says on the app that he's injured - how many weeks out is he.
    A cheap(ish) Middle cash-out to stick in my NPRs or 14-17 at a stretch would be juicy.   santa

    If Billy Slater is talking about intentionally kicking something, is he talking about the ball, or opposition heads?
