    I think what you may have misunderstood is that the bunker cannot call it a penalty or six again, because being offside isn’t a penalty, but a 6 again. the ref and/or the touchies should have called it a 6again, but missed it all together.

    So, the only way a penalty could of come from that situation, is not from being offside, but from dropping the ball and not taking the advantage after the 6 again.
    I think for field goals an exception has to be made. They should be able to penalise it with the bunkers help. 6 again is a piss weak punishment for being offside in game defining play. Teams will take advantage of this.

    Jeez we come up with some wildly silly rules.

    Non Roosters related but is just some rule clarification that no doubt will affect us during the year. Graham Annesley has come out and said in the Canberra vs Titans game that the player who charged down Forans field goal was offside, although this is not a penalty?? I mean what? It's 6 again apparently which is the exact same outcome after you charge it down.

    So my question is, why on earth would you stay onside if your not being penalised? The only downside i can see is that your team wouldnt be able to collect the charge down but that's only if the ref actually notices you offside.

    Please tell me I've misunderstood something. Imo the Titans should've been awarded a penalty and therefore won the game. I couldnt care less about either of thrse teams but if it happened to us I'd be absolutely livid.
    If Easts did it, the ref would say they were 'cynically' offside and penalise them.

    They make it up as they go. They have no idea themselves, so us fans have no chance.

    It’s not as if the 6a rule is brand new it’s been around now for a few seasons now, every other team has adjusted to the new style of play including strategically playing for penalties including staying down. Robbo has shown he is incapable in adjusting the team to these new paradigms, In the end all fans want is to watch their team win games and hopefully premierships.

    If you were watching the raiders game, I thought Schiller’s second try came from an offside missed by the bunker. The titans player knocks the ball back, it touches the back of the raiders player and goes into the hands of Schiller? who is in front. The bunker misses lots of things.

    on the Collins challenge, it doesn’t matter that Collins had knocked on before he was hit high. That is a major breach - as is any foul play. The knock on is a minor breach. As a young ref you were always taught major over minor = penalty.
    Your observation about the Schiller try is spot on. He was easily offside as the ball bounced through hands before he caught it.

    Yes, in the game today, "the Roosters Way" is not always the best way.

    The NRL entry into the USA and our Joe Kelly on the board of USA Rugby League likely pissed off the Vlandys and co. If the enemy can’t impact us on the field they certainly do off it. Lenui, Jennings as of late and coming down hard on Robbo.

    • 7 tackle restart
    • Set restarts


    At least the obstruction and 7 tackle sets are explained and reason given, the set restarts are frustrate players and fans, due to no need for explanation.
