I am not excusing this act but if....... Lyn put his arm around Vd's thought/mouth and stuck his arm over an open mouth........no bullshit couldn't happen like that could it?
May the FORCE be with you!
Mouth guard not in mouth answer the question?

Possible
May the FORCE be with you!
yeah, it could have just been teeth, pressed into the arm.
I did see lynn show the ref his arm, assumeingly (is that a word??) with teeth marks in it.
biting is not on, throw the book at him, stamp it out of the game
CJ knows where the brai's are after the game
Great to get a win!
Positives - Slightly less kicking and more possession. Cummings was pretty good at going hard at the ball wish more would follow his example. rolling mauls were good at times too.
Negatives - Line outs were shocking, missed points with penalties/conversion. We never have width! we get drawn in to the breakdown and when it pops up our wingers are 5 meters away from play and we bog down.
Biggest bummer of the game for me was umpiring - thought it was shocking at times.
It seems to me that touchies have no input now other than to signal when ball is out and its location. In the past they used to be consulted with or raised flag if they saw an offside or other infringement etc..
But hey great to get over mitchells boys :-)
I might be wrong but i thought that was more of an issue with the umpiring? We were going forward 9/10 times and being called for collapsing - where is the logic in the attacking side collapsing it - it is a defensive ploy.
Maybe I am wrong, happy to be corrected.
Dodgy I have the same pet hatred of defenders "collapsing" a scrum 30m out dead in front with one minute to go and two points in front....where is the logic in the attacking side collapsing it - it is a defensive ploy...Maybe I am wrong, happy to be corrected.
Who'd a thunk it
The long sobs of autumn's violins wound my heart with a monotonous languor
What got me was when the ball was at the back of a ruck and Sheehan was stamping on the ball and/or someones hands to get them to release and he gave the penalty against us, Hodgson I think. Why would we not release when our half back was trying to pick up the ball? It happened twice from memory, so frustrating they were killing the ball all game until finally a yellow card
The ref was saying it was a collapsed man and he didnt have to release it.
17.6 UNSUCCESSFUL END TO A MAUL
(a) A maul ends unsuccessfully if it remains stationary or has stopped moving forward for longer than 5 seconds and a scrum is ordered.
(b) A maul ends unsuccessfully if the ball becomes unplayable or collapses (not as a result of foul play) and a scrum is ordered.
(c) Scrum following maul. The ball is thrown in by the team not in possession when the maul began. If the referee cannot decide which team had possession, the team moving forward before the maul stopped throws in the ball. If neither team was moving forward, the attacking team throws in the ball.
(d) When a maul remains stationary or has stopped moving forward for more than 5 seconds, but the ball is being moved and the referee can see it, a reasonable time is allowed for the ball to emerge. If it does not emerge within a reasonable time, a scrum is ordered.
(e) When a maul has stopped moving forward it may start moving forward again providing it does so within 5 seconds. If the maul stops moving forward a second time and if the ball is being moved and the referee can see it, a reasonable time is allowed for the ball to emerge. If it does not emerge within a reasonable time, a scrum is ordered.
(f) When the ball in a maul becomes unplayable, the referee does not allow prolonged wrestling for it. A scrum is ordered.
(g) If the ball carrier in a maul goes to ground, including being on one or both knees or sitting, the referee orders a scrum unless the ball is immediately available.
(h) Scrum after a maul when catcher is held. If a player catches the ball direct from an opponent’s kick, except from a kick off or a drop out, and the player is immediately held by an opponent, a maul may form. Then if the maul remains stationary, stops moving forward for longer than 5 seconds, or if the ball becomes unplayable, and a scrum is ordered, the team of the ball catcher throws in the ball.
‘Direct from an opponent’s kick’ means the ball did not touch another player or the ground before the player caught it.
If a maul moves into the player’s in-goal, where the ball is touched down or becomes unplayable, a 5-metre scrum is formed. The attacking team throws in the ball.
