Onreport Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Somebody asked a while back if Sheffield had 14 men on the field. That clip confirms it. It was Keith Senior. In the build up to one of their tries he's seen running up with the Eagles coaching them. Half the time he didn't even take any water on. Up to the man in the middle to sort that out, At the end of the day poor defence lost the match not Keith Senior's input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaton Sandy Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 The "man in the middle" didn't sort much out in our favour on Sunday,but yes,our defence on the line was p**s poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I'll bet the players won't have enjoyed watching that back in training! Can't say i did either. 3 men have got to be able to stop one surely....It must be fatigue from so much defending through the game ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anok4u Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 If it's so much of an advantage having someone like senior run on the pitch why don't we do it?

graham fisher Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 You want to watch the highlights of our game against swinton,shocking defence, it could be a try fest on sunday. By the way when we played Sheffield other week in a friendly Senior kept running on field that was until the ref warned them about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaton Sandy Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 If it's so much of an advantage having someone like senior run on the pitch why don't we do it? It's obviously not against the rules... I always thought it was against the rules for non playing personnel to enter the field of play without good reason. It was obvious that Senior was carrying instructions rather than water but that ref.allowed Sheffield so much leeway with forward passes,lying on etc.that he was never going to warn them about that. Yes, I know we underperformed but that scoreline does us an injustice . Lets start sending Butch or Jonty on and see if we get away with it.

brummie-eagle Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 They are allowed on for 3 tackles at a time in attack so your boys can do it, trouble is that Senior is a bit too well known so is far more recognisable to fans why dont they just give andy farrell his medal now?- ray french before the challenge cup final 1998 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun mc Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 They will get away with it until one ref shows a bit of bottle, assisted by touchies who must also know whats going on. It would only last that game though and it would be same again for the next one until there is a more draconian punishment handed out. If you need to have a coach on the field as much as Senior, then either your players aren't good enough, or you are not good enough as a coach to communicate your game plan to the players. Either way, this 14th man shouldn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporter Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 they are allowed on the pitch for 3 tackles to do what though mate? Give water out only or other things such as coach and give instructions? Clarification, I hope. The trainer can enter the field of play to administer an interchange. When he does he is allowed to stay on for three tackles in order to reorganise the team following the interchange. They are also allowed to enter the field of play along with water carriers when the referee has called time off due to an injury, after a try has been scored or when the referee has called for the video referee.

Bartholemew Smythe Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I thought Keith Senior was superb for them . Played a blinder Did he spend 80 mins on the pitch in a yellow jersey. We`re on a road to Nowhere....................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voodooguru Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Did he spend 80 mins on the pitch in a yellow jersey. Nah it was only around 68 mins, the old lad is getting on nowadays.. The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
