So every try is 12 points? Or is the LB included in the 8 points for scoring? And how far past the line before it counts? Like if the winger and fb are there



Wait, so when a player gets past the defensive line and doesn't score, then it's not a line break?

Line break:

I love Bunty too, great hard runner and reliable. Yeah, perhaps 'great' was a hyperbole. But even if he doesn't bend the line, he gets in the gap which gets him on his front for quick PTBs. When he defends he backs up multiple tackles, and yeah, I see him slide off some (counting as missed) but it gets the runners down and supports his team. *TRIGGERD* I'm getting tired of the overhyped Papali'i. Don't get me wrong, I love his tenacity, but the stats don't show him standing back instead of cutting off the offloads. It doesn't show him not being square at marker (unpenalized but could have been) forcing his A defenders to work harder. This was obvious af in the Manly game. The teams that are the best in the comp compete in everything and don't drop their standards. And don't get me started on Blair. That dude knows how to give away a late penalty which happened in both the Tigers and Manly game. And this was when the Warriors were still in the game. After that they ended up blowing out. It also pmo that as a leader, I regularly see him being the last man back in the defensive line. Lead by example. I miss Mannering *rant over until tonight's game lol*

Just had a look and it was at least a 21 point play mate (haven't included the 8 metres gained).

Try 8
LB 4
TB 3 (9)

If they counted Bird touching him at the time Crichton receives the ball then it's a 24 point play.

I'm not convinced he is going to reach his Rabbits heights, but do agree at 670k he is a great buy.  Even for his output now, let alone his POTENTIAL.  He might be one I personally let go though.

How do they define Line Breaks? Because there should be a lot more of them if Crichton's one was

Kind of a humblebrag but I work near an aged care facility and there are a lot of elderly people who go around the block a lot on wheelchairs, with walking frames or with walking sticks.
There are a lot of trees that drop branches on the footpaths. On my way to and from work, I always move any debris off the footpath so people with accessibility issues can navigate the area well enough.

I had one lady catch me doing it, must've realised why I was doing it and was so super grateful and everytime I saw her, she always had a beaming smile on her face when she saw me.

I saw her probably twice a week for a year or two and then I just stopped seeing her. Never even knew her name but she always remembered who I was and was very happy to say hello to me. I hope that when I'm that old, I acknowledge the goodness going on around me.

If I can make one persons life a bit happier, especially when they're nearing their end then why not take a minute out of your day.
I'm not interested in what people are doing wrong, I just want to do what I can and maybe others will follow the example.

Definitely exaggerated, but he's a consistent workhorse with an offload and good PTB speed. He puts in effort which is what I ask for. I can't stand watching laziness that I see in several of the Warriors forwards. I love Jazz because he has effort plus x-factor

Its a day that ends in Y isn't it . I actually wasn't aware of the LB if you score a try interpretation.

Can't disagree with what you've said. Clearly I get annoyed at the Burr love and you get annoyed at the Papali'i love.
Key difference for me is that I'm probably caught up in the potential that Papali'i shows and am constantly hear that they expect him to be a leader in the team if not the captain in the future. It's easy to forget he's still eligible for the under 20s and Bunty is only 22. These guys are performing well above most other players of their age.

Lachlan burr is 26. He and Blair are either capable of better or should be on notice. I think Burr is lucky to still be in the 17. He is a committed defender but I think he offers almost nothing in attack.

Burr isn't terrible and the Warriors are making do with what they've got. If Burr is our best starting 13 then we're in trouble. Look at all the starting 13s this round. Burr would honestly not take any of their places. Maybe Lawrie or Barnett. To be fair, I'm not sure if Blair/Papali'i would fair much better. Maybe Taylor, maybe Moeroa.

I do still thinking being a fantasy cashcow is clouding peoples judgement of Burr. I also think all Warriors fans (myself included) are struggling to be obective given how the last two weeks have gone.

If Bird had've scored that try his score would've been 40... that would've been great.
