What did I stupidly say about no mistakes? Put the mockers on my Sea Eagles.

 

[sosos]

that dhead lussick throws his *wit hands in the air whining for a penalty on every tackle. Driving me nuts.

 

[DEVO]

Forward pass ignored

 

[DEVO]

Made amends with a poor obstruction call.

 

[sosos]

Was obviously back. But they got a gift from the worst obstruction call ever made. Joke.

 

[sosos]

Tackler was not even going for the tackle? I just don't get it.

 

[sosos]

Just throwing it away now. But weird challenge with 10 minutes left.

 

[sosos]

Gaawd still in it...

 

[sosos]

Soft penalty.

 

[sosos]

Better side won. But * YOU SLIMEY FARKERZ

The storm game finally doesn't clash, so I finally get to watch one this season.

Hi damicky

It might be a 0-0 draw

 

[AnUltimateRessie]

It might be a 0-0 draw

how to beat Storm today: Stop Papy

 

[damicky]

Terrible goal line defence

 

[AnUltimateRessie]

It might be a 0-0 draw

nevermind

 

[damicky]

nevermind

We might lose 36-0

 

[damicky]

Honourable loss

 

[Paul Kersey]

Bit tough with so many players out.

 

[Aucklander]

Just about the worst VR call I've seen and that's saying something. Lazy campaigners being rewarded for being lazy campaigners.

Oh the obstruction call against Manly, didn’t they bring in the discretionary aspect of the rule for the bunker about committing to a running player and not being in play?

Hard to see how it didn’t apply there, Gus banging on about how he wasn’t chasing was annoying but he was absolutely right

Those calls are utterly disgraceful. We can thank one man for this and it’s Gus’ mate up in the commentary box, Paul Gallen.

As hard as he could play at times, he made an art form out of not bothering to try and get to an opponent when he knew there was anyone even close to playing providing an obstruction and they blew it every time and no matter how many times they amend the rule the application of it never changes.

Another person who’s really good at it is Luke Brooks. He saved a few tries against WT by that method.

Couldn’t set any up so he had to contribute in other areas

 

[Jatz]

Hard to get excited about a win when they were missing that many players.

Still, it's 2 points.

At the risk of defending the indefensible the sport needs an obstruction rule, we dont want blockers in the defensive line leading to tries so its always going to be a rule that either winds up black and white (as it is) and at the very least you cant argue for one over another, or you make it an interpretation rule which leads to inconsistency.

I dont know which is better (i lean toward interpretation so that ones like yesterday can be considered more than just "was he in the line").

I swear they added in the defensive decision thing for this year so that they could have some consideration around bloke who were never tackling or never really in the play not being able to milk those obstruction calls, hence the question.

Yesterdays was a shocker.
