IRL elected not to disqualify the win against England. To be fair I would be a little embarrassed going through if they got disqualified! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To let them carry on as long as they don’t play those two players from now on makes a nonsense of the rules (regardless of whether or not it’s a stupid rule in the first place!)

Farmduck Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I wondered about the Lebanese players when the commentators said some of them were still at school. You have to be 18 to play NRL but I wasn't sure if there was an IRL rule. How would you feel about complaining that "We wuz robbed because they beat us with 17-year-olds."

Not the England deserved to win but that seems bizarre. Lebanon fielding minors should have helped England.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulga Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 You can play a test match at 16 and 9 months. That's the rules. Why is 9s different? It's because the IRL is the NRL's lapdog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think we’ve twigged how to do 9s yet. We’re like a 1970s one-day cricket side compared to the modern day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that, just like the mens' game, we start off with a much much bigger player pool so your chances of producing A-list players are better.

Heritage XIII Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Why did England pick a womens team largely of concrete laden legged players? Honestly I've seen more pace at an aged care home. Whoever picked this team for 9's needs to go back to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Among other reasons, of course) My post meant the boys and girls but that’s undoubtedly true. However, I do think we stuffed up by playing the likes of Liam Watts, who’s a very good prop but looks a fish out of water in 9s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
