Sorry for going missing the last couple of days but other than yet another $70 winner on Wednesday, there is nothing to report. Well last night was my first special of the week and it was a winner. That $70 winner was in a C Plan race, by the way.
The Knights let us down last night helped by a couple of dodgy decisions which would have had the two teams around equal.
There are new rules for example which basically require a tackler to “let go” if an attacker is in a particular position. In this instance the defender was standing in the Knights in goal and the attacker buried his head into the defenders chest. Question? Let the defender go so he can plant the ball and be awarded a try or hold your ground?
Stupid question right? The attacker was awarded a penalty and the defender was put on report for an illegal tackle. He didnt actually tackle he just held his ground . It was the attacking player who caused the problem by putting his own head in a compromising position. And that not me being a blue eyed supporter.
