Qld Premier Rugby 2022

So what other outcome was there if Skelton hadn’t have knocked on?

Well one penalty was for dropping to knees, another was angle, then a couple of resets so can’t really argue with the Refs call.
Had he not knocked it on they would’ve scored a push over try anyway

The whole premise of advantage is you have a crack despite what an infringement is for. Despite the ref being too scared to apply the laws of the game, result was the right one.

I don’t get which laws of the game he didn’t apply?
You can’t knock the ball on and play on..

 

[Beer Baron]

Can we just agree that the game should have been on free to air at 7.30, and any other club game on gem at 3.
I have officially given up on test rugby after the two games today.

Thank you

Go GPS. They've just named Bobby Tuttle, Josh Collins and Teti Tela in the side as late changes. Michael Richards 200th Club game and Chris Kuridrani 100th, good on them. Keen for this game!

 

[SouthernX]

Nice additions.., what happen to Josh Collins tho? thought he did his other foot and was done for the year. Miraculous recovery.

Bobby’s going to be a difference maker today. Big plus

Standard Brothers scrum

 

[PhilClinton]

Geez Brothers getting a lot of chances in the red zone and not shown a card, one of their players blatantly coming from the side of the maul and then the same player tackles a potential try scorer in the next play.

Brothers class players should see them through here, they generally look better.

 

[PhilClinton]

What a joke - three more penalties in the red zone and they only get a warning?? Sheesh.

Hoopert’s killing the ball on quick play was cynical as well.

 

[qwerty51]

The main commentator is insufferable. Stop calling every moment like it's the last play in the Grand Final.

 

[Wilson]

Another classic gone down to the wire.

That O'Connor bloke looks alright, maybe they should chuck him in the wallabies....

 

[Wilson]

Great to see McReight has made it back up and is straight down there supporting his club

 

[PhilClinton]

GPS were in it longer than I thought. The forwards had control for that last 20mins.

Congrats to Brothers - tough one next week against UQ.

 

[RugbyReg]

I’m getting strong vibes that Jock will be back in the Wallaby squad. He’s the only specialist fullback left standing isn’t he? And playing well. Will be in a blow for UQ.

 

[rugbyrules]

great finals series to far - brothers vs UQ will be a cracker. The UQ scrum got smashed again vs Wests (lucky not to give away penalty try at the death). Surely that's an area Brothers will focus on. Brothers look vulnerable out wide though.

 

[Bumble B]

Exactly what finals should be about. Drama on drama. Great to see the turn out at both GPS and Wests today. Club rugby is certainly alive and well. Congrats to the teams progressing. Exciting couple of weeks to look forward to.

 

[DELETE ACCOUNT]

What?
I’m a neutral and that should have been a penalty try everyday of the week.

why? The rules are clear in that the referee MUST be of no doubt a try would have been scored.

 

[DELETE ACCOUNT]

I’m not convinced a penalty try was deserved but ever penalty seemed fair. Zander and Sef were collapsing repeatedly

The first 3 collapses had the referee on UQ LH side.
The wests LH against Sef had his elbow pointing to the ground (pulling down)

Neither the referee saw it or was the AR capable of noticing it and providing the ref with the right advice.

Smart play by the wests LHP because once the ref came to look he changed his bind and the scrum progressed but by then there was built up frustration against UQ.

 

[Rugby King]

why? The rules are clear in that the referee MUST be of no doubt a try would have been scored.

That’s not the rule. The rule actually says “prevents a probable try from being scored, or scored in a more advantageous position”
