Both (receivers) feet have to be behind the kicker to be onside.

Someone should inform the Aussie ref.

Its ok



Its a week ago, you can let go now

FFS



There was nothing wrong with that last week. Get over it.

Also they only have to be level.

When the kicker is kicking the ball on a drop out, do they have to be behind the line?

As long as they are level with the ball then they are onside.

Its a valid question FFS



then why does the ref shout BEHIND the kicker at the kickoffs ????

It wasnt a question, it was a statement aimed at Robinson last week.

I say that every KO too. Its just so they dont creep up. If you tell them to stay behind the kicker they drop back a meter or 2 and by the time the ball is kicked they are normally bang on the line.

And if i took a quid off every person who i have heard blame a referee in RL for no reason i would be a millionaire by now.
Rules are rules players know them so do referees they dont make them up as they go along.

Phil does have his moments and his club loyalties, but he backs British every time and his comments during the replay of Peacock's scuffle were priceless..



Off topic a bit but I watched the game again yesterday and for those who were gloating that Peacock only got atn Perry when he was being held by Leeds players obviously were unaware that Peacock had the Manly number 6 clinging to him for most of the fight.

Somehow I just know for certain that will come back and bite your @rse.

I will say just one word...Ganson.

What rules has Ganson made up?

I think you should just walk away from the game personally. Someone with that much paranoia should seek help. We dont need people like you anyway.

OK so we all and moan about refs from time to time (soz HH it’s just the way of the world) but to suggest that refs make up rules to suit their own agenda is just plain ludicrous.

Refs have good games and bad games, same as players, and occasionally their decisions may seem one sided but to suggest that a ref deliberately applies or makes up a rule to suit is deluded.

No worries at all. I know refs make poor decisions sometimes... to say they are perfect or could be perfect is stupid. Like you say no player is ever going to have a perfect game so why do fans expect refs to?

What dot me about double alone is that he has slated a ref from last week for getting a decision spot on. Also he couldnt go to the screen as a few fans were calling for as Hall made the tackle on Steward inbetween the kick and the try. Then he goes on to have a go at Ganson for no reason what so ever. Yes he makes a lot of decisions when he is in the mood but id say he gets 99% of these right.

Well off the top of my head waving your arms is illegal...

Surely they do, they have to be in line with the person kicking the goal line drop out who has to be behind the line.

Burrow had already been warned for trying to run the game himself and was warned next time it would be a penalty.

Hardly slated I just thought the interpretation at the time was wrong and it was interesting ( to me anyway) to hear PC confirm what I believe to be a correct ruling.

If it got to you my apologies.... but why the "abuse" ???

The [ireason[/i for the Ganson post was in response to a previous posters comments.


psst just for your info I did previously hold a Grade 1 Referees Qualification as well.

Different rules apply to the in-goal area as it deemed not to be in the field of play.

You cant be off side in the in goal area....

for breaking which "rule"

and he seems to have relented this since

85% at best


The thing with steve "look at me" ganson is the fact he'll hammer 1 team for the same offence and rightly imo but doesn't do it to the other team for the same offence

Yes but to be in the in-goal area your feet, by definition, have to be behind the line, surely.

No..thats another false assumption.

On the try line is over the try line in RL.......

and therefore in the in-goal area.
