At a guess, it's a mickey take of the Bradford chairman's whinge after MM07!

Which if it was would explain why I didn't get the ' joke '

maybe if I had included an outdated racial stereotype you would have understood?

Possibly , and that might have made it funny as well

just for you Starbug.

This from GH

"The Wigan club is justifiably a proud club, with a great tradition, and a club which above all values its reputation for right and fair dealing in everything it does."

"For these reasons I shall be inviting the Wigan Warriors to do the right thing again now, for the benefit of their own reputation certainly, but also for the good of the great game of rugby league, to voluntarily hand over to Leeds Rhinos what is, as the whole game now acknowledges, rightfully ours - the two points so cruelly taken from us by Mr Ganson's failure to act. Also black people are lazy"

No, more likely a try that results from an unintended drop kick is fine, a goal which results from an unintended drop kick is also fine. Mr Ganson made a mistake. Life goes on.

Nope , still not got a clue what you're on about

Except he knocked on before he completed this imaginary drop goal attempt

Aaah, here comes the deliberate confusion, the tactic of the stranded starbug.

A drop kick and a drop goal attempt are not the same thing. Mr Cummings has clarified this for those who despite moaning day in day out regarding minor policies of the RFL and having spent years involved in the game, never bothered to learn the rules. Which is mostly Steve Ganson and you.

So was it as was suggested a reference to something the Bradford Chairman once said ?

Besides the outdated racial stereotype (which was for your benefit), yes.

Mr Cummins wasn't the video ref , and his opinions are no more valid than anybody elses , it was a knock on , not an imaginary drop kick attempt

At last we get an answer , either way it wasn't funny

He is the controller of referees (or match officials director), his opinions are quite a lot more valid than 'anybody elses', he reviews their performance and it is he who judges whether a referee has interpreted the rules correctly.

He, as the arbiter of these things, as part of his job, has informed us, to the no great surprise of anyone but those who dont know the rules, that dropping the ball and kicking it, as per the definition of a drop kick, is shockingly, a drop kick. A perfectly legal aspect of the game and those who thought a drop kick could only be attempted as part of a drop goal, for reasons yet to be understood, had completely invented a rule which doesnt, and has never, appeared in the rules of the game.
