Wayne Bennett 101, get the spotlight off the players coming into big games. Bagging the broncos while their possible 2022 captain is sitting right next to him, troll level 1000000.
If each team can't play each other twice its not a fair comp, the draw can be rigged, just like the rules have been manipulated.
There's too many teams now.
Your first example is what I mean, the player with the ball takes the ball out, not the person kicking it. The kicked ball is landing in the field of play, the player catching the ball is putting themselves out.
Anyways, the rules are the rules, I just don't like that one.
I hate the catch the ball with part of your body out rule, the ball isn't going out, the only reason it "does" is because of the player touching it - should be no part of your body is to be in the field if anything, or come from outside the playing field and don't touch part of the infield...
IMO Warriors are our bogie team. I flew to Auckland for a game I think in 2004 and we were heavy favs and got rolled - luckily it was so damn cold no one could see my Bronco's jersey because the warriors fans were giving it to those who were wearing theirs after the game.
Watched replay, what's with the ref releasing the roosters before the play the ball. Has that rule changed to? seem to release the defenders when the ball was placed, not played.
