Sezer was let go at Huddersfield because he was disruptive to team spirit - hopefully he has learned a lesson?

You can't strike with the knees is what the rule states. For me, knee hit ball.

Probably not because he clearly dropped it backwards

It can’t have clearly knocked it backwards as the ref and VR thought it was a knock on.

Ive no idea what Chris is going on about. It was a knock on but not a knock on cos hes not sure if it went forward or backwards but if it hit the heel its a penalty but if a millimetre of the ball hit above the heel its play on. If a ball hits the thigh its a knock on cos thats not deemed a kick but if it hits the thigh going backwards its play on but Chris doesnt know if it went forward or not.

Every ptb is a penalty cos they either heel it back below the knee which is against rule 17.2a subparagraph 4.3 or the ptb never touches the foot at all.

So while everyone else on the board knows it was a lucky try Chris is getting a protractor out and doing experiments to see if its even possible to knock a ball forward onto your heel which is behind you. FFS.

We can debate it till cow come home. I’m more interested in Catalans game now

Fair enough, i only posted again as a couple of posters seemed to suggest it was me making the rule up.

Ill leave it now.

Chris, are you sure? It was only 36 hours ago since the try was awarded in a 34-12 defeat. Are you sure its not worthy of further analysis?

Depends Marty, are you going to LOL at someone knowing the rules more than you again?

Your 1934 rule book may be slightly out of date tho.

Forget the refs robbing you AGAIN, I’d be more concerned about flakey blake looking er…..flakey already tbh? Bang on brand.

You got the heel rule correct

Are you 100% certain it hit the heel tho Shabbsy? Did the radio leeds commentators give an accurate description of the incident?

Ironically it was you that brought up a player from yesteryear to prove your point



The rules are on the rfl website if you want to check though

Top Bantz, you can stay

I’ve watched highlights since then too you muppet

or it could be someone else's attitude being wrong

That someone being?

he was only talking about one player

That someone being?

I think we are all aware of the weaknesses on the field , but our coaching team really need to think very carefully about our tactics - they are currently way off the pace - eg,
1. why are we dying with the ball on the last tackle - where`s our grubber kick ( watch Saints on Friday night )
2. who in their right mind puts a young hooker at centre , when you have back rower onthe field who has played there before
3. you don`t play a young prop when he is not fit - he was playing on one leg
4. playing against a strong wind , so first kick is up in the air - 40 metres forward , 30 back- it is brainless
5. our half time team talk should be tactical and motivational - ours put the team to sleep for 20 minutes.
- what are Agar and Long all week ?????

We seem coached to the nth degree to build pressure, build pressure, build pressure. The plan seems to stop short of actually putting points on the board. Until that changes we get beat convincingly by the good sides, win or lose narrowly against the mediocre ones, and occasionally shine against the least capable.

With respect i think this squad is better than that. I still aee us challenging for a top 4 spot

A few bodies back and we are better than most i feel.

Ever the optimist. I would agree that our first choice 17 can match it with anyone. All depends how we go on injury and suspension front. I think the quality drop off is less in Wigan, Saints, Wire, Catalans……

Saints are miles ahead of everyone Shabs. Their line speed and defence means they rarely concede 10 points, i know their was plenty on here who thought we could go toe to toe at with them at the start of the year. I never once thought that.

We can challenge for top 4 tho, like you say injuries and suspensions are key and so far they arent looking good.
