There's a world of difference. The defender not square at the ptb has the option of not making the tackle and getting out of the way. Even if there is contact because the attacker runs directly at him no penalty is awarded if the defender does not attempt the tackle. The player on the floor however is targeted directly by the pass cannot avoid it and as soon as the ball hits him the penalty is awarded.alftupper wrote:McShane gets a quick play the ball spots a defender trying to get back on side and makes a beeline for him wilfully running into him and earning a penalty. I suppose this is virtuous play from a saintly Cas player is it?Bolton-tiger wrote:Hudds no.9 has done that now 2 weeks on the trot where hes passed the ball into the player on purpose and both times gets awarded with a penalty.its disgusting how u can blantent cheat and get rewarded for it.

Re: Cheating and the play of ball
Just watching the NRL game Canberra v parramatta.
It’s good to see the refs in oz have got wise to it.
In SL there would have been 5/6 more penalties in this game.
The ref just lets the players get up, infact I’ve not seen one player throw the ball at a defender laid in the ruck. They just wanna play rugby.

Re: Cheating and the play of ball
If you're talking about the one with Fifita, I didn't see it has a deliberate act to cheat, he simply got the ball caught behind Fifita after holding the ball incorrectly and lost it and like most players tried to claim his innocence.alftupper wrote:any comment about McMeeken throwing away the ball at the play the ball in an attempt to con a penalty last night?

Re: Cheating and the play of ball
He's close to his own line, early in tackle count, and you suggest he throws ball away to con a penalty...alftupper wrote:any comment about McMeeken throwing away the ball at the play the ball in an attempt to con a penalty last night?
Re: Cheating and the play of ball
What a numpty you are. It was the first tackle, he’s a metre from his own line and you say he throws the ball away? Have a word with yourself Alfalftupper wrote:any comment about McMeeken throwing away the ball at the play the ball in an attempt to con a penalty last night?

Re: Cheating and the play of ball
I don’t think anybody can blame the ref for anything last night. Cas had at least 2 50/50s go their way. Still onwards and upwards.
I don’t think the refs ever set out to be biased they are just inconsistent.

Re: Cheating and the play of ball
I'd be blaming the ref for plenty last night if I'd gone in wearing a red white and blue scarf lol

Re: Cheating and the play of ball
I’m in no doubt whatsoever that Mcmeeken tried to milk a penalty on his own line. He had two hands on the ball when getting up then wrapped his right arm around Fifita
I would expect Powell to discuss this with him
It’s a very risky strategy looking for a pen on your own 5 yards line and this backfired.

Re: Cheating and the play of ball
Nar, he lost the ruck, tried getting up too quickly whilst holding the ball wrong, got his hand with the ball stuck behind Fifita and lost it, that simple really.North Leeds Tiger wrote:I’m in no doubt whatsoever that Mcmeeken tried to milk a penalty on his own line.

Re: Cheating and the play of ball
This play at the ball were players through ball into player on floor blatantly is rediculous
Re: Cheating and the play of ball
No help for rest of season but I would imagine they will change it come in line with nrl where they just pick ball up over man because they know they won't get a penalty playing it into himflood light tiger wrote:This play at the ball were players through ball into player on floor blatantly is rediculous

Re: Cheating and the play of ball
Its embarrasing it really is,i blame the refs and the rfl to let it happen,i thought they had already brought a rule in to stamp it out but that seems to have been forgotten about if there is.its not good for the sport as its just making a mokery of it when players are making it so obvious when doing it
Re: Cheating and the play of ball
The rules are the same in the NRL & you don't see it there. Wouldn't take much for the coaches to tell their players it's unacceptable. Same with trying to milk penalties at the ptb. Leave the play acting to the soccer players.Bolton-tiger wrote:Its embarrasing it really is,i blame the refs and the rfl to let it happen,i thought they had already brought a rule in to stamp it out but that seems to have been forgotten about if there is.its not good for the sport as its just making a mokery of it when players are making it so obvious when doing it

Re: Cheating and the play of ball
About time Cas did it.
Child enabled it today by penalising Cas for a Catalan player pretty much grubbering the ball backwards to make sure it hit a Cas player and they scored off the back of that penalty.
If refs want to play that way then so should Cas. If the RFL want it stopped, outlaw it.

Re: Cheating and the play of ball
Child set the precedent allowing it today. It's a joke. I'm embarrassed. It almost brings the game into disrepute in some regards.

Re: Cheating and the play of ball
We've got to use it because other teams use it. We've been missing fans by the odd point and it might just make the difference.
