You can't look at the opposition before you try to catch the ball

It’s a lottery.
Even the bunker and the refs don’t know until they blow or don’t blow the whistle on a disruptor (and they are surprised when they do or if they haven’t blown the whistle)

but the funny thing is, that once they have “made a call one way or the other” they do it with such conviction ,
“oh, no, its not cos this that and the other” or
“oh yeah, he whatever, whatever, whatever and disrupted the defending player”…….. and more often than not, everyone is left scratching their heads questioning the decision.

Yeh watching Annesley confirm and explain their reasoning- I am always thinking he could have they same argument if they went the other way.

It's so subjective.

Will didn't in our first game

Will didn't in our first game

Yeh that was a clear mistake by the ref.

Would be helpful if they actually used that as an example of a wrong call.

Dragons are a strange side at the moment, early days with a new coach and still working out what they are although i'm sure coach Flanno knows what he wants them to be gunna take time and maybe some roster / squad amendments & additions.

Hunt is a good player but if he doesn't want to be there is it really helping or hindering his team?

Not giving 100% is unprofessional though (didn't see the game) but if that's the case I hope Flanno would be willing to punt him down to reggies and not cave into his desire to leave.

Flanno is understandable livid after that performance and feeling salty - his comments don't really make sense, says he doesn't care about the Sharks and focused on his own team but then takes a swipe about us not winning a comp and says he has had the Sharks game marked down in the calendar? which one is it?

Maybe that outburst really is him just saying he doesn't care about other teams but why give the game against us special mention at all?

At least our club hasn't been a complete shambles since 2019, unlike the Dragons

Not sure what you’re on about Hunt..He wants to sign on to play under Flanagan

You can't look at the opposition before you try to catch the ball

But if you do so, you can't run into the opposition either.
Makes the escort job suddenly a lot easier.

Close your eyes and run in the general direction with your arms outstretched.

A bit like trying to pick up at 4am.

Pick the one in the middle!

 

[Sevshark]

Butchered that

 

[apezza]

I thought the ball hit the corner post first but happy for common sense to apply.

Until next week when it's overruled!

Api gets the penalty Brailey never does.

 

[Vichyssoise]

Great tackle

Really
Not api

That's the kind of pun I like

 

[Western Sharkie]

That sin bin is a bit harsh. It’s the rule and I get it, but still harsh
especially given no whistle from the ref for the 20m restart

 

[MMsharks]

This first game could be interesting

Broncos sadly will put on a score

Could be proven wrong

 

[Sevshark]

Lol Deine getting spray from his own team

TBH.
Care factor and enthusiasm for this game isn’t that great

 

[MMsharks]

TBH.

I know
But was hoping for that unexpected upset

And especially against the broncs with their coach saying in pre game show how happy he was with their escorting in previous game

What a character !!!!

 

[Vichyssoise]

Typical Api try.
