i think his thought was to get something (foot/leg/hip) underneath the ball but he had no idea where it was. youll see in the replay hes not even looking at where the ball would be.
Not in 2012 bro. Slater sliding his feet under an opponent to prevent tries was outlawed. Karma is a ***** hey. Now the suckers in NSW paying for it in origin. Could have been penalty try too because no way in hell Inglis loses that ball if not for Farrah's boot. Try prevented by an illegal act is a penalty try plus 10 mins in the bin. Video refs felt sorry for NSW.
Which is the definition of playing at the ball. You dont need to be looking straight ahead at the ball while kicking out at it.
Yep with a dirty dog act ****ing Haymaker. The difference and Ive been back and watched all the third man in's that Thaiday had at least in all of them when Thaiday was third man in he faced up to the opponent. Thats why the penalty was called i feel. We can argue all night but it was the right call and i agree the Inglis was the wrong call Queensland still won. Remembering that I have watched State of Origin for the last 12 years or so and NSW in the last 6 years because they are so **** have instigated 80% of the fights. If that was a mid week game Jennings would have got 10 and because its Origin he should get a pass. **** that it was ****s act and a weak one at that. Least like i said Thaiday faces up to his opponent in third man in.
getting something underneath it is not playing at the ball. playing at the ball is a deliberate attack on the ball itself in an attempt to dislodge or gain posession of it
Farrahs toe poked the ball out of Inglis' hands. Farrah by his posture was clearly playing at the ball. Its a defined as a kick. You cannot slide your foot under an opponent now so what he did as illegal.
by his posture....you mean falling over and looking away from the ball?? and there was no slide. you cant "kick" a ball someone else is in possession of. end of story
Qld by 2 then... You guys gave it everything and were still short. Thanks for making it interesting though, for a bit.
thats right ippy. realistically it was two points difference.... and your star studded team of queensland and kangaroo juggernauts with over half a decade of playing together beat a rag tag team of misfits and debutants with one week behind them by a single goal kick.... :deal nervous much??
Nope :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl And I mean that honestly. I've never felt so in control of an Origin match before. You guys threw everything you had at us, but we never got out of 2nd gear. In the words of Bruce Springsteen... Glory Days...
Yeah Im with Ippy, I'll accept winning by 2 pts. ****off NSW with your 2 tries from contested bombs :rofl:rofl Uate is dodgey under the highball and a bad reader in defence
Another glorious day to be alive , hate to be a south welshman for the last 6 revs around the sun , aint life ****ing great.
