No no IMOAs I was at the game can someone clarify:
what was the penalty count?
Was it really a forward pass when Cherry 'scored'?
Was it really a shepherd when Tom Turbo 'scored'?
The obstruction call is total nonsense. By the time Cherry moved to T-Red's running line, T-Red had already completely passed through the defensive line without any impediment to them. Having already passed behind the defensive line, it is impossible for T-Red to be obstructing anyone.
If the bunker has accurately followed rules or accepted interpretations in making this decision, then the rules/interpretations need to be changed.
A bit of common-sense please!
That's what I thought at the time, don't know what the rule says though.The obstruction call is total nonsense.

First and foremost, rules should always serve a purpose. The obstruction rule serves a very important purpose. A rule penalising a player for running across the line of another player where there is no real obstruction - and in this case no possibility of obstruction - serves no positive purpose. It is an inane penalty.Some League rules have been made way to grey. The change to the double movement rule so the arm carrying the ball can hit the ground if there is momentum is the perfect example.
You used to be able to see a try and say with 100℅ accuracy if it was or wasnt. Now it's a lottery.
I don't mind this shephard rule ATM as long as they are consistent. There was no impediment last night, so perhaps needs the name changed, but if the rule is as simple as you can't run behind your own man close to the defensive line. I'll appreciate that its black and white and move on.
Sharkies won the penalty count, got some pretty soft penalties in the first half starving us of the ball and making us defend our line on numerous occassions. Thought DCE was fine, flat ball. very hard done by. The obstruction rule was correct (by the law) but again a bit hard down by, was very close. Cherry passes one second earlier and it's ok.As I was at the game can someone clarify:

Only reverts to zero tackle when the opposition has knocked on, not backwards. Zero tackle for 20 metre restarts should only be for long range kicks going dead IMO.Its sad isnt it, that so many people that grew upnwith footy and have been passionately involved in the game just cant keep up with the rules. Nrl are a joke
I still dont get the zero tackle rule. Sometimes when they drop the ball they get a zero tackle sometimes they dont .whats that ****
From my view it seems open to the rort
