'For a bonus point perhaps you could tell me the last English SL coach to lead his side to victory (either Challenged Cup or Grand final)? ....or perhaps records don't go back that far! Clive Woody 18.4.06, not able to remember last year! pray for him...... 'I shall take your failure to answer my question as an admission that there are few if any English head coaches in SL.' Clive Woody 18.04.06, proving his inability to count and plumbing the depths of trolldom.:22386.gif



Quote: Under the sticks "Good to see that the ludicrous, unscientific `it all evens our theory` is alive and well
of course it's unscientific - its anecdotal so is bound to be. I doubt anyone would say otherwise. But that doesn't mean its ludicrous. And its alive and well because basically it's true....just because you don't like it, don't meant it aint true!

good calls go for you and against you, ditto for bad calls. Do we forget Danny Wards controversial ptb in Edinburgh already?

Quote: PTB "2007 - Top of the Fair Play League
2009 - Currently Top of the Fair Play League

2007 - Fewest penalties received
2008 - Fewest penalties received
2009 - So far, Fewest penalties received

So what that means is each time a team plays the Harlequins they play the most disciplined 80 minutes of rugby they have played all season.

Sure.

No one who follows this club will be convinced very easily that it does all get evened out.'"


Maybe it does mean that - by your own admission above, and by the fairplay measure, they are playing against the fairest in t' land....maybe it rubs off?

It may also mean that, because no Quins/Broncos team I have watched in the last 12 years has ever dominated rucks and 'contacts' sufficiently to either rattle opponents or to force the error, we are unable to force teams to concede penalties. Too good for our own, er, good? I have made it a point of measuring the distance between the first point of contact ie where the tackle first commences and the last point of contact ie where the tackle concludes - the distance is either a positive or a negative one.

Invariably we dont come out of it too good, either defensively or offensively, and more often than not the opposition will make yards in the contact and we do not - this allows one team to dominate and win the collision, forcing or conceding penalties as a result. It is often the case even when we've won games.........it tells me we win games because of factors other than winning the collision but I dont think we have enough mongrel or c**t to stop, slow and bully teams around. I think the fairplay stats bear this out - we're too 'nice' so don't give away penalties and we're not 'mean' enough to force opponents to concede penalties. Just a theory of mine and certainly not fact, but worth considering I think....


That Quins get some hard calls is not in dispute, but it does go both ways by and large and even when it doesn't it's not down to bias or birthplace or domicile. Who knows - maybe teams feel the 'bonding' effect having been on the coach with each other longer than normal for this fixture, compared to others.....? icon_rolleyes.gif

I would be more than happy to accept that a very large reason for this is lack of vociferous home support sub-consciously affecting the refereees but, once again, that's not bias or corrupt officials or referees favouring home town teams or anything like that. Human nature maybe....?

ho well we wont win three on the trot'"

Thought Thaler was fine today. You can always find a few things to disagree about with the ref but I thought he did a good job. Not sure that Danny Brough would agree though. icon_smile.gif

yep....dan marino would have been proud of that pass. 2 yards forward and 15 feet from the touch judge who must have seen it, but did nothing.

I thought he was awful but that doesn't matter as we won. The forward pass IMO was a joke that has to been seen

yeah he awarded a knock on when it was ripped out by two in the tackle.
He didnt see it as he had his back turned.
All he saw was a loose ball.

After watching it again on SLTV I have to say, it is pretty flat icon_surprised.gifops: I think it looked forward because of the angle he ran, but I have to say now the ref got that call right.

How much playing time do they show on SLTV. I tried to register 2 weeks ago and never got any email back. If its the same play time as on Boots n all and sky news I shant bother but 10+ minutes is worth while having another bash icon_wink.gif

From my seat I was in line with it and I did not see it as forward.

Thaler's my least favourite referee but I thought he was excellent yesterday. The only glaring error I thought was from the kick off just before the Moore try. Both sides knocked on so it should have been a scrum to Wakefield rather than play on to Wakefield.

There was a strange incident in the first half when he actually played the second knock-on rather than the first.

They only show the tries, so don't expect much. When you do register, go back to the round when we played Castleford.....they commentary is one of the funniest things not on youtube I have ever heard icon_lol.gif
