I'm surprised you can use a captains challenge on a previous play

This is how it is

How can Braith see the replay of Flegler hitting Tup in the face ten times and say "hmmm that's harsh'

It might be harsh that they got the penalty because of a challenge because of something at the next play the ball, but Klein should have blown for a penalty in the first place then there's no controversy.

Why didn't they just give it to Walker with 30s left?

I reckon officials got every call right there at the end in last 10 minutes

Agreed

Are we allowed to review plays 10 plays prior now?

Obviously still excellent, but 70 is almost disappointing from Haas after that start. Looked odds on to ton up.

It caused the ball to come out of his hands due to getting thumped on the nose. Can't say the high tackle was soft.

I said it was technically right but his head was ducked flush with his colllarbone at the time……technically a penalty but pretty tough to get it called

Just for the record I have no problem with it being called but it usually wouldn’t be

Take Verrills or loop in Watson? Probably just on the borderline, but I'll probably take the 47.

They were saying it wasnt the next play because he didnt play the ball.
Needed to have a bad play of the ball, to be able to call for the review, otherwise no stoppage in play.

Easy decision. Verrills.

Excep they did have a play the ball. Troops lost the ball, went to ground, a wrestle between Copley and Mead with the ball given to Copley and the Roosters. Ball was played (poorly). So there's that...

Take the 47

Ill be happy enough if Brailey is a late out, meaning i get Verrills score, and then Watson can score 70 at hooker

Good games this round so far

Everyone's taught to block a field goal by getting it low before it elevates, not jumping up? Maybe they're teaching dangerous technique, but that's the best way to block the things (or certainly used to be considered so).

I can see Radley maybe misjudged it and got too close to the kicker, but it was marginal and Kelly milked it and hopped straight up after the penalty. I also think you're overstating the dangers of ACL etc, otherwise we'd see ten goalkeeper-inflicted injuries a game in every soccer match.

Tigers haven't played yet

Used my joker in tipping comp this week so at this stage im happy for roosters to get the W

Probably only game in question for the round is cows vs tigers. Everything else is an obvious tip

Haas and Teddy on 70, Cleary on 67.

Toast getting excited about possible small updates/downdates
