    Arguably a try scoring situation though. Consistency is overrated anyway.

    Arguably... what 2% chance? The ball was kicked straight in line with the Canberra player who had turned and he had a dream bounce. By that standard almost any blocker/tackle off the ball on any kick chaser is 'arguably' preventing a try scoring opportunity.

    Consistency definitely isn't overoverrated when it comes to the application of a rule through the season.

    Rubbish. This was nothing like the usual blockers. What an idiotic comparison. That’s before you add in the fact that it was cynical beyond belief.

    It’s a sin binning. Your claim about consistency is absurd. You’d rather them get it consistently wrong, would you?

    BankWest looks sweet. Should be a good game to see tonight.

    That stadium looks so much like Suncorp. Looks fucking amazing.

    Thompson was plainly offside there. Good hit on Gutherson but he was clearly in front.

    Does Matt Johns ever say anything but play through them not around? If the pass finds the mark there they score easily.

    How the fuck do Parra get held to nil one week and score 50+ the next?

    Weird comp.

    Stadium is really good.

    Fuck that was a weird game. Very fluky, pretty much every missed tackle/offload/bounce of the ball resulted in Parra's try.

  14. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Titans game yeah. This? Not so much. They put 50 on. Hard to fluke that deluge.

    It could easily have only been 36 or 40 but it could just as easily have been 60. Parra bombed a few.

    It was fluky in the sense that Parra scored so many long-range tries and tries from broken play. Like I don't know how to describe it, but when the Roosters/Storm beat a team with a huge scoreline it's very much a structured dominance - like they play field position, work it into good areas and then execute set plays, generate overlaps etc and score.

    The 5 tries in quick succession to go up 30 nil if I remember correctly were:

    1. Chee-Kam kicks it dead from dummy half, Moses scores from 20m quick tap
    2. Cross-field kick where Takarangi catches it over Brooks (ffs)
    3. Eels throw it out wide, someone drops it/misses it and Jennings picks it up and runs through almost untouched
    4. Lane gets it one out on 2nd tackle around their own 20m, breaks the line and finds Jennings in support
    5. Gutherson makes a break from dummy half from Parra's own 10-20m line and finds Salmon in support

    Apart from the cross-field kick, it was just 4 random tries from broken play. Not even overlaps, or good backline movements, literally a critical missed tackle or laziness on the Tigers behalf.

    I'm not denying the Eels played well, but it was just a really strange game in the way that they had a lower completion %, more missed tackles and less second phase play, yet won 51-6.

    A sin bin is very subjective, I don't think it's just as clear as right or wrong.

    I can just accept that different people will have a different level of tolerance in regards to when an offence becomes worthy of a sin bin.

    Expecting the NRL to see eye to eye with me on the topic would be a forever frustrating endeavour I imagine so instead of hoping that they somehow land on exactly the same level of tolerance as myself I'm happy to just admit that they have a different interpretation. So long as they are consistent with that level of tolerance/interpretation of the rule and they don't go chopping or changing it every time there's an outcry over isolated incidents I'm happy.

    Quite frankly it just comes down to lack of effort.

    1. Chee-Kam kicks it dead from dummy half, Moses scores from 20m quick tap
    Ball runs dead with most of the Tigers team on the 10m line, when Gutherson taps the ball only 1 player gets back onside - Russell fucking Packer.

    2. Cross-field kick where Takarangi catches it over Brooks (ffs)
    Brooks makes absolutely no effort to compete for the ball, get in Takarangi's path, tackle him in the air... what he ends up doing is one of the most hysterical 360 ballerina like pivots you will ever see... Darius Boyd would be proud.

    3. Eels throw it out wide, someone drops it/misses it and Jennings picks it up and runs through almost untouched
    Just lazy, lazy, lazy scramble defence from the inside defenders, looked like they were slow jogging in quick sand coming across to help.

    etc etc etc.

    The line speed and scramble for the Tigs was horrendous all game.

    The scoreline is as much a reflection of how bad the Tigers were as it was how good the Eels were but it wasn't a fluke, that would suggest there was some luck involved. The Tigers got what they deserved.

    tigers have never played in front of such a big crowd in their lives. they got balked.

    And many would argue no sin bin for that infringement typifies their lack of consistency.
