General NRL 2019 GRAND FINAL - General Discussion

[Chief]

But that is the rule and has always been

Ball goes to the attacking side. As the team who just kicked the ball it is COMMONSENSE that the raiders will now be the attacking team as the roosters had kicked the ball away to END THEIR ATTACKING SET AND TO START THEIR DEFENSIVE SET. It is commonsense. It is going with the feel of the game and interpreting the rules to the game being payed at that time. You are joking if you think that was the roosters balls

He was awesome. We were stupid to let him go.

He probably wouldn't have become the player he is right now if he'd stayed under that toxic regime at the Warriors. I see Lolohea (and Krisnan Inu) will be playing in the SL GF for Salford. Good on them, staying at the Warriors would have been unsatisfying and trophy-free.

This is something I have seen on another forum regarding that trainer decision. Not sure how accurate it is.

The rule book states referees, touchies and spectators touching the ball leads to the attacking team retaining possession.
Nothing about other team staff or a 14th man as using common sense that is a penalty against the offending team.

 

[Dixpat]

Doesn’t matter what I think - it is the position on the field which determines the attacking team

Inu is still playing wow how old is he?

He's still only 32. Getting on a bit.

Tbh i dont think that missed 6 again was that much of a massive game changer because honestly the Raiders despite dominating didnt look like scoring. Roosters defence was turning up time and again. The one clear oppertunity they had Leilua bombed it. I was getting worried that 2nd half cause the longer the Raiders we're dominating without scoring u knew the Roosters would have one oppertunity they'd probably take.....sure enough.

As for that call Cummins called the 6 again, whoever changed it is the one that should face the music. U cant change after the Raiders have played on, Wighton wouldve put the kick in instead of running it im sure. Bad bad call.

Got us into a final didn’t he with a flukey try against Brisbane?

 

[mtsmart]

Inu is still playing wow how old is he?

32 I think. And he was taking the goal kicks for Salford. Kicked 7/7 in their semi-final win against Wigan.

I remember that. Ball dropped into his arms while he was lying on his back and he did a worm to get over the line.

Like them or hate them, the Roosters ooze professionalism.

 

[Weno]

What a game.
If JWH got back on the pitch sooner.
I think he would of went over 200 meters.

He smashed over 100m after a lil over the first 20. TKO ended with 180+.

Oh the luxury of having props that play prop.

Which is more than be said about the refs!

 

[kos]

All the props bar one born in nz?

 

[dantheman]

Hands down the worst ending to a season that I can remember.

 

[kos]

Worse than 2011 or 2002?

Ricky didn't blow up, did well to bite his tongue. Felt sorry for Croker, he looked shattered the poor bastard.

Anyone hear why Charnze didn't finish, was it the cramp?

 

[Sky Waka]

Catch & pass Joey, Rapana scores in the corner.
