Hello! A New Trin Fan Looking Forward to Their First SL Season!

Clarification for puzzled @Sports Prophet. If needed.

Previous post was inspired by the scrutiny your bona fides are regularly placed under.

Best advice for a new fan is to study the rulebook and its history. Along with scepticism towards media coverage.

Corresponds with the Reformation stance on the bible and the clergy.

And then send 50 posts how in a game the referee didn't apply said rule book in a certain instance and cost team a. Right?

 

Also welcome Lucy.

I'm just an obsessive autistic person who - as anyone knows us as a generalisation - binges new hobbies. I am no exception, as it makes the soul-crushing grind to find a new job almost bearable.

Nope, sorry never been  member of any Rugby League forum, club, or league. Regarding the inside talk, I like to bounce off people, its been great getting to know bout the community. I've binged like half a dozen games since I joined - in live and highlight form.

Also, you should remember that I completed a Sports History and Culture MA so I have a general knowledge of how sport has developed, at least from the Victorian era onwards. This really is who I am. I apologise if it seems like I'm making this up but its the honest truth.

 

P.S. Regarding the rules, still so much I don't know - I don't know why a DG is only 1 point and not 2. I'm still learning the attributes needed to be successful in a position. I still giggle when I hear people talk about the position of hooker (childish I know) and I'm still trying to tell in game whether something is a knock on or not.

You are not alone , most of the officials don't seem to know either

We all love The Game, we just don't always agree on what it should look like.

You usually find that deep down we all value the game over our own clubs...but you have to scratch a little deep.

If my club didn't exist, I'd still love RL.

But not Cas or Leeds. 

Or Salford.

Or Bulls...

Quite like Whitehaven...

Cas are absolutely gutted that you don't love us

Baby steps for an aspiring video ref. Spending five minutes with a magnifying glass searching for "little bobbles" from all available angles means you've hit the big time.
