Big strapping on his leg , clearly got a fair whack on it , but hopped around to run it off after refusing to come off .Then came back second half and put a fair shift in again . You can`t ask for anymore . He's an absolute warrior is Cus, probably doesn't get the credit he deserves as he does it every week, so you come to expect it from him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans think that a TJ should be signalling like a linesman (assistant referee) at football, waving their flag for everything. In RL they don't, and never have done, but they do use a number of more subtle signals to communicate. He kept the flag by his side that was the thing, they might as well just stay behind the sticks and wait for a try as that's all they're good for, oh and they need to keep off the pitch cause that does my nut in also.. go **** yasell ya little **** gain NL1 then take ya **** out ya dads **** then speak proper rugby talk. you jameating little spotty ****...itchy waa waa 2008...

This seemed to come from Australia where the touchie was suddenly twenty metres in stood next to the winger and running up and down on the pitch . Now we have them running in to point at where the turn over is - what like where we’re standing already ? Then they quickly run backwards . I’d love a really quick blindside move to see how sharp they scoot back . They have their white or coloured boots and everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That penalty was ridiculous on their line , he jumped for the ball, their player hardly left the ground and he gets penalised. https://www.facebook.com/TownRLFC/photos/a.369664996707032/1725702824436569/?type=3 I think this is a photo of the incident. He clearly wraps his arms around Campbell whilst Campbell is in the air. A clear and obvious penalty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voodooguru Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Watching the highlights the Batley try was fair enough, nothing in the bump. Also watching the Barrow v York game, both teams showing how effective an off load can be. Yorks kicking and set plays have been excellent. Barrow are relying a lot on sammut. 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...

The fact that he made a lot of mistakes probably cost them. Carter might be getting better but it was the Sammut cabbage or caviar show from what I saw.

Theres another sequence of photos on facebook showing the contest for the ball, The 1st one shows 2 players competing fairly for the ball, the 2nd one shows Young having the ball, the third one the Batley player has it. If you think that's deserving of a penalty then might as well make the sport non contact. Edited May 3, 2022 by dkw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a penalty should be for dangerous contact which that obviously wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like the ball stealing rule, was it reefed, a loose carry, or did the ball carrier just drop it? I'm also not a fan of the one at the PTB, where if the man playing the ball is pushed over whilst bending over to play the ball, it is invariably given as a hand over, instead of interference by the marker. I think the refs could be much better than they are, but with these 3 rules, they haven't got a chance. Whoever is punished, has a very good case for it being construed as a bad call. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I think if you contest the ball but don’t get it… then wrap your arms around the player who did and make a tackle, that’s a penalty. For what it’s worth I think your man is a little unlucky with how the ball fell and the position of both players. There wasn’t much he could do once the ball was in Campbell’s arms. I thought he had a good game overall. My point more broadly speaking was that I can see why the ref gave that decision. A small but vocal minority of fans in the Popular Stand we’re giving him dogs abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good yesterday defensively under the high ball (maybe only once under real pressure) but offensively? I get the impression he lacks a bit of aggression - he should be a nightmare for opposing teams. It baffles me how he can be picked week in and week out, he must have something over CT.

I know he hasn't been great in a lot of games, but if we are picking off form then after the last couple of weeks the way he's played, he 100% deserves his place in the team for the Barrow game 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
