RFC Eagle 4,888 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Ridiculous from Cuthbert there. I've always thought that a sin-bin for a deliberate knock on seems harsh though, I think it should just be a penalty.Its just as cynical as the offence Ganea got binned for and deserves the same punishment. I just wish they'd stop penalising props who out technique their opponents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well done sir!No sarcasm here, intended or otherwise.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dummiesoot 16,006 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Doubt it would have changed the game this weekend but Gray and Ford suspended for 3 weeks...........Is this the 'spear tackle' rule? Didn't look like much at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullies_bowly_legs 3,811 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Gray wont be a loss as he always gets chopped down by the first tackle, even if its the opposition scrum half. Gray must weigh about 19 stone but rarely gets over the gain line as opposed to his brother. We'll miss Ford though, for his work round the park as well as his throw in. Can these players be replaced as they now cannot play again in the World Cup. Seriously short of second rows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummiesoot 16,006 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Ford cannot hook for toffee though, and tbh his throw has not been at its best during rwc. We will miss his mobility though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianb1547 3,767 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Anyone else getting fed up with the amount of interference that TMO's are having on matches? It seems like every 5 mins or so they are telling the ref about things they have seen.....as opposed to only responding to requests from the ref.The game is being refereed from a control booth now. I think its spoiling the game tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its spoiling the game tbh.The game was spoiled years ago when the Southern hemisphere ran out of props. They mangled the scrum and its never recovered. Let the pack do its job and punish genuine offences rather than things caused by an inferior scrummaging side.The Probyn/Sole clashes were a highlight of England/Scotland games but they'd spend half the game off the field with todays refs in charge.

I hate the sin bin sending offs and the way the game stops to have the plays reviewed. I know it can sometimes be to your teams advantage but it really disrupts the action.

Soon, with all the TMO interuptions, it'll last as long as an NFL game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummiesoot 16,006 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Appeals upheld, gray and ford free to play, shambles. However Cotter will have prepared for these two not playing, can come off the bench later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
