That is where your arguement ends! I agree if it had been dry he wouldn't have scored, but he slid over due to the conditions!!

I sound like Paul Cullen don't I with these ridiculous 'terms'.

I should stop.

Ok, maybe the rules need changing?

He made a lot of yards through sliding mind!!

are we still playing this game??

1999 Grand final. Henry Paul slid for 10 metres under the sticks after Sonny Nickle tackled him. Verdict = try time.

The conditions play a part in all sports. If it wasent raining Meli wouldent of knocked on.

What are you on about it was a complete sliding moment all the way to the try line. It was a great piece of individual opportunitsm, live with it, and move on.

It wasnt, watch again

Also, re your point about changing the rules and sliding over, RL is an outdoor sport and unlike cricket, tennis etc play isnt stopped because of the rain. Part of its appeal is that you need to adapt to and play to the conditions.

What do i have to be bitter about???...
I was just commenting like anybody else in this thread...

It was a great tackle too!

I will watch it again, but I swear his elbow hit the floor, then he carried on moving.

Your right his elbow did hit the floor but he then did not make any further movement of the arm (lift it, rach out etc), his momentum took him over.

You really do no nothing about rugby league. Of course his elbow hits the deck. The rule that you cant have a second attempt, he dident! He beat two men, stepped the fullback and his momentus took him over the line. It's called slidding. Go outside with a rugby ball over your local field and run and slide from 10 metres out, you will slide past the in goal.

They both looked a threat in broken field and they both have a lot of learning to do when leading a team around a park. That's not a criticism though, and I'm convinced both will learn the tricks of the trade as half backs and go on to be world beaters. Great to see these lads coming through.

it's a tricky one to interpret that Eastmond try, I don't think there was a double movement, because it was all 1 sliding movement, there was no halt especially when seen in real time. So I dont think his hand pushed him on after being stopped, I think it simply supported the slide, as opposed to tucking his hand in in which would have stopped the slide by use of his shoulder.

the only thing that really matters about Eastmonds try in the end is that it was given and we won.

no he's not!!

He's a good sl player!! World class my ar$e!!

Dunno about that one.

He is.... World class!! Often goes missing but when he performs. He is awesome!!

He is one of only a few that actually perform against the Aussies (even on the wing).

He pushes himself forward not once, but twice.

Stop now.

I only saw the Eastmond try whilst at the ground from the other end of the Stadium(can i call it that

) but it looked 100% fine to me!

I'll watch the replay in abit and be back on spitting chips if there anything up with it though

world class players don't go missing!!Not like pryce does!!

Darren Lockyer ?

He had 2 players on his back (this is coming from a neutral) so pushing with one hand wouldn't have made a difference. The ground was wet and he slid, as his arm was bent it's a natural reaction to move it forward and slide back.

The try was fine.

.....Has done it all?

Pryce isn't fit to wash lockyers scruds let alone compare them as players
