Abicus 251 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 Just announced that Lebanon played two players under age of 18. IRL elected not to disqualify the win against England. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andyscoot 303 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 So Lebanon field ineligible players and it's "no worries"? Not the England deserved to win but that seems bizarre. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just listened to that. I’m pleased for them but that’s ######. They broke the rules and should be disqualified. 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 3,016 Report post 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." 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pulga 818 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited October 19, 2019 by Pulga Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
