It was so far forward even Dom Young almost caught it

NRL will have a crackdown on flat passes next week

Look at that last picture. He has caught it inline with where Latrell is. Play on. Here's another snip to show it wasn't forward.

I am not aware outside Las Vegas as long as you’re in line with the catcher WHEN HE CAUGHT THE BALL it’s not a forward pass

 

[Boats n Hoes]

Line ball about 3m forward to win the game, he threw it on the 10m line and where did the winger catch the ball

Billy Smith's try came from a pass Tedesco threw just before the 20 metre line to Foketi who receives it on the otherside so yeah

Regardless with both Rabbito's halves out Roosters shouldve really been able to lock that game out well n truly before then

Hammy strains and legal forward passes galore

 

[KPWarrior]

In a comp where everything is analysed, scrutinised, slowed down, called back after the fact, it never fails to amaze how the most basic fundamental of a forward pass cannot be ruled upon by anything more than the on field ref.

I know we're one game beyond it but man the Panthers look shot - tho they should've won it with Mclean fucking things up at the end there. This is the story of the year so far - terrible defense (thanks for giving us JFH) and worse attack (missing a creative 6 or second option and Yeo is getting in the way)

Eww do people like the Bunnies. I think I view them like people view the Dogs.

If its between them and the Roosters then bunnies all day. Plus I kinda like Latrell.

Calling it now that panthers won’t win it this year. Worst case they don’t even make the top 8. They’ve lost too much and have recruited poorly, Papali’i hasn’t had an impact and Talagi can’t crack the top side. Still good ones through their system though in Toelau, Coles and McLean brothers. Everybody seems very beatable

Jason Ryles must be really stressed out right now by Parra. Not healthy that a young man has so many grey hairs.....

I think the 2025 defensive collapse is a clear indication that Luai and Fish were the glue that stuck that side together. The previous departures (Crighton, Api, etc) whilst meaningful were much more replaceable by the Penrith grassroots. I kind of wish we played Penrith soon. Now seems the best time, if any, to take them down. They are looking vulnerable again for the first time in 5 years.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Wow. Am I seeing things? Is Dylan Brown actually running the ball?

 

[Warriorshopeful]

Eels look so uninterested.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Why did the Eels fire Brad Arthur again? It looks like Jason Ryles has unnecessarily plunged them into a rebuild period when they had a relatively competitive roster last year with Moses in it. Dumping Gutho, RCG, etc and replacing them with NSW cup replacements doesn't really make sense to me.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Our boy Walks about to come on. Hope he enjoys his first wooden spoon.

 

[regenerated borg]

Normally I'd take the Bunnies over the chooks any day... except when they get too close to us on the table... rather have the 2pt gap any day... and that goes for all teams...

 

[roguei]

Only started watching during the 2nd half. Have the eels just pissed off the ref? They seem to be getting some rough calls so far.
