Ecky,
I'll go head to head with you on Law Knowledge and application of the laws any day of the week.
Ditto on grammar and spelling!
"12 Years aSupporter" starring the #SeaOfBlue
application is much different to the actual law i think...
Both are quite separate matters Mr Palitu.
"Laws" are as published by the IRB whilst "Application" is as per the "Game Management Guidelines for Community Level Rugby" as published by the ARU and the "2010 Competition Rules" as published by Rugby WA. No doubt you are fully versed in all three documents.
In addition, "Application" may alter according to directives / advice from the respective Unions / Referee Associations or upon the advice of referee coaches, depending on the level of game involved. The personality / experience of an individual referee will also influence application of the laws.
My knowledge will far surpasse that of Ecky's. You, Mr Palitu are not even on the radar.
wow, you're an arrogant idiot aren't you...
according to your statement, what i worte is absolutely correct!
Good on you know more than me about the inner workings of the laws/application guidelines... I can see why you are smote more often praised...

i believe we need a quiz night![]()
Isn't it amazing that we find yet another expert on Rugby Law and its application right here on TWF.
An expert no less. Some one who is quick to criticise and yet in real life cant offer their services to RugbyWA as a Referee - or better yet - Coach of Referees.
I am sure that this here expert doesn't even offer their services to one of the local clubs. Surely any club coach with half a brain would love to cut down on his penalty count.
In fact why hasn't this expert offered his services to out beloved Western Force, surely the advantage of knowing the Laws and its application better than the Super14 Referees would have us competing for the final this weekend.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
he really could have just said, yes!
In case you werent aware, there is a document, called "xxx" and it outlines how the referees are to interperet the laws...
but no, he douched it up! really frustrating...
Thank you Rick, wondered when you would snap at the bait. Capitals used purely to emphasise the point to that plonker Palitu - clearly a front row forward with a handful of brain cells.
Mr Exile, why say these things when you don't know the facts. You make yourself look even more stupid. Try:

I put in approx 40 hours a week into rugby and have done as long as I can remember.
What were you doing last weekend? Watching the local Under 10's and living your life through them? Get involved buddy, you may learn something.
The Oracle,
What do you hope to gain from being so unpleasant?
all worship the oracle...
everybody, he's right. we're wrong and there is no use talking to him as he is the be all and end all of this subject. and no doubt every other subject too.
good that you refereed, not a lot of people would/could.
Actually now i think about it, i think you have been fairly rude in most your posts in any thread i have read...
I just reread through the thread and cannot find why you would challenge ecky to a pissing contest about who knows more about the laws/application?? He said what he did to reply to a comment about the Laws of rolling away, and went on to explain the Application of the laws in the last few years and how he Applies them.
mate, grow up... i can see by your years involved in club rugby that your an older bloke (assuming bloke here), that should have some semblance of maturity and know how to interact with other adults in a Constructive manner.
I am also guessing that you also old and bitter and believe your the ducks nuts... Good on you for knowing laws and applications, there's plenty i could teach you as well.
i would love to hear your knowledge when these sorts of questions come up as you are the self proclaimed resident expert on laws and application of them. Just don't do it like a dick head.
btw, i highlighted the imported bits for ya

Oh and thats my rant, to me this matter is put to bed. Good night![]()
Mr Palitu,
I must also tell you about my illustrious playing career!
Shall we do lunch?
Palitu, if The Oracle is offering to fly you out to Liechtenstein for lunch, take him up on his offer. It's been a while (over 10 years) but I had an excellent lunch in a restaurant under castle.![]()

What was I doing last weekend - I was watching pornos and eating cheezels and wondering why parts of me were turning orange.
Mr Oracle, for someone who does and has done so much I can't tell you how disappointing it is that you feel the need to pass yourself off as holier than thou. You have so much to offer to this fine website Sir, and yet you choose to not to.
I apologise for my attack, but in all honesty I feel that you need to pass an apology on to some people that you have attacked in this thread as well.
