Neddies Through In Knife-Edge Thriller
Minor premier Nedlands earned a place in the Home Building Society grand final, edging out runner-up Palmyra 20-19 in a knife-edge thriller in the major semi-final at Rugby Park today.
Just a curious thought, Rick. Blair Morris got two yellow cards last week and your article stated he got the mandatory suspension. Yet he is reported to have played for Nedlands against Palmyra today. No doubt the video will establish if this was the case
If so, in the words of the immortal Julius Sumner Miller, why was it so?
simple. he is a nedlands player. its quite obvious by now that there are the laws and rules for other clubs but nedlands have there own rule book.
lucky neddies, how many of there force and force academy players were playing?
maybe they got him out of it somehow. i think they can appeal
ur not ment to be able to apeal a mandatory 1 week for a redcard. u can apeal say if he got like 2weeks+ but his meant toget atleast 1week
I asked Mitch Hardy the exact same question.Quote:

In the article, I should have said "may be suspended".
Thanks for following up, Rick. You know how we like 100% accuracy in our journalists' reporting!!
;)

Rugbywa ratify the referee appointments (made by the Referees' Association) and each of the 1st grade semis have the top two ranked referees in WA. So, if you didn't like what you saw yesterday then, sorry, no-one will get a higher-ranked ref next weekend. So you'll either have the same ref again or one who was, as at last weekend, ranked lower than he.
...and I am supremely confident that whichever referee is in charge of any match really couldn't give a toss about which team is which - we can only referee the game we see before us.
But then, when all is said & done, the one-eyed supporters are out there en masse during finals..... who'd be a ref, hey? :D
What are the rules/regulations regarding runners in the finals. The paly runner was told they were only allowed two, but neddies had four, when he queried this, he was told by the female rugby wa rep that those were the rules 2 runners only and he shouldnt argue.
Runners? Has rugby become like mungo or drug-ball? What's wrong with having 30 players & 1 referee the only ones on the pitch when the ball is in play.......hmmm, the good old days were much simpler!!
"Runners" can only run on during breaks in the game.
