Not surprised at the Isa one - was a very odd thing to do. It might help him as in recent games he has looked frustrated and a but reckless, forever shooting out of the line and looking like he is trying to wind everyone up. Hopefully he can get back to how he was playing back end of last season which was more controlled.
The KPP one was marginal at best (thought the ref over-reacted) and glad to see he has not got any punishment.

| Quote: Grimmy "It's a lot easier to do it when defending your goalline because the man playing the ball isn't in your way if you are to one side with your foot on the goalline. Anywhere else on the pitch you would either have to be not square, or the hooker would have to pick the ball up very slowly, for you to do the same thing. It's inconsistent with other areas of the pitch, but it is a good rule IMO. Sometimes these rules change because one player works out a way around them, then everyone copies him. It was the same with the situation we had a few years ago when players worked out that playing the ball into the defender at the back of the ruck would gain them an offside penalty. Everyone started doing it so the rules had to be adjusted.
Other similar loopholes I think could come up in the next few years:
- If the ball hits the referee or a trainer then the team with territorial advantage (i.e the team nearest to their opponent's try line) get the turnover. Nothing to stop a team deliberately passing the ball into the ref to get a fresh set of 6 as it stands.
- High tackles are penalised even when the attacker is falling. Nothing to stop an attacker deliberately losing his feet last second to draw a high tackle penalty (apart from self preservation
but you cvcan move backwards away from the goal line cant you?

Can you tell me the latest on the rule they brought in 18months ago were if a player is injured and the game stops they should leave the field for the next set?
I got frustrated in the HKR game that they had 4/5 stoppages at ultra convenient times and no players left the field.
Against wakey away it happened about 7 times and usually when wakey kicked to us we makenthe first tackle or if a player made a break then the wakey player would go down injured and game stopped, yet no player was asked to leave field.
It happened 3 or 4 times against wire, only then on about the 4th or 5th a wore player was asked to leave the field for a set?
As an aside
Bringing all these rules in that coaches and players then try to find ways around which intu4n brings in more rules is killing the game.
Along with players diving around like theyve been shot when they are hit a millisecond late or tapped on the face.'"
Sounds like you are getting mixed up with the rule around shot clock mate. If a player is stood up when the shot clock is put on, then goes down injured afterwards, he can get treated and his team don't concede the shot clock penalty, but he has to leave the field until his team get the ball next. It's only in shot clock situations (which is currently only drop outs as scrums as temporarily removed) not general play.

| Quote: Grimmy " There is no rule against a team running over their own dead ball line. Teams with a narrow lead tend to grubber into touch with a minute left and defend the set. It would be far more effective in most situations to waste more time by running all the way back (even if it's 90 metres), dancing around for a bit until a defender gets near, then going over the dead ball line. The clock then continues to run down even more whilst the touch judges run back to the halfway. That could probably kill a minute or more, especially as defences won't react straight away whilst they haven't seen the tactic before. Hooter goes without the opposition getting their last set.'"
Can't believe this happened one week after I predicted it! rlhttps://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/teams/roosters/nrl-news-sam-walker-run-video-roosters-vs-bulldogs-last-play-coach-trent-robinson/news-story/1abee84385d366c6f1303f54349bb512rl

The lad (Walker) is certainly a chip off the old block. If you ever get a chance to read about the Walker brothers and their approach to coaching then you won't be disappointed.
Interesting to see Billy Slater put out a tweet saying something like 'god forbid anyone does anything different to what we're used too and we might discover a new way to do things'.
Plenty in the British game could/should listen to that comment.

Agreed. I'd leave it alone but I can see them potentially changing the interpretation to deem it ungentlemanly conduct or the like.
