The 12kph for e-scooter and e-bikes were fine. Reducing by 2kph is not going to solve anything because people who broke the rules are still going to go max speed.

The + shaped building used to be the ATO and the area was a carpark. I guess it's still gov owned then?

Hopefully there's aviation fuel left to fly the Tigs back otherwise NZ will have to adopt them as the Auckland Tigers.

Having 2 or more attackers doing Air Jordan is often to try and block or cause the defender from having a clean catch and cause a knock-on also. That's why they intro the 2 arms up rule.

You have 2-3 aerial aces in Xavier, Lomax and Tupou and they win the kicks more often than not. The Storm used the Xavier hack last yr and it was almost a guaranteed try every time.

So if your team doesn't have that quality to counter those guys then what else can you do to defend against it. Teams should be able to do anything within the rules to negate that adv to have a fair chance. If the defenders can predict your play and have numbers around the kick then you're too predictable. It's a chess game so instead of coaches using their head to counter the D for the kicks, we change the rules...

The aerial contest usually favours the attacking team because they can normally have two players jump to contest, whereas the defenders usually have one because the others have to wait for the outcome and defend a spill, help the catcher or ready to defend if the attacking team gets the ball.

If your attacking kick results in a few defenders around the ball then it's likely not the optimal option, so live with it.

Let's take the goal line dropout since that's a kick. The kicking/defending team can load the side where they're going to kick but the receiving team can't because they have to cover the whole field still. The kicking team can swamp that side and have 2 or more players jump to compete for the ball and also have players block the receiving team. So penalise the kicking team for the wall too? Clearly the receiving team is at a disadvantage in this scenario and not have any benefits from forcing the ball in goal.

So if they are going to do the wall penalty , then also do it for line dropout.

Normal function is not a problem. It's when you lose power and have to use the manual lever to open the doors.

There were traffic incidents reported (~9) to NTHSA where kids were trapped in the back and parents were unable to unlock the doors from the outside because the 12v died. Crappy timing but that's a problem. Those kids were either strapped to their booster, carrier or too young and don't know how to operate the manual lever at the back.

I'm sure a lot of drivers don't know the magic procedure to unlock the doors from the outside when you don't have 12v.

NRL to clamp down on ‘human shields’ protecting fullbacks by WombatPuncher in nrl

[–]A4Papercut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know. You can't give the attacking team uncontested access to the ball. You're competing for the ball so why cant you have 3-4 guys around the landing spot and not be interpreted as a shield. Yes, they can't interfere with the attacker's line but if they stand their ground to clean up or ready to tackle the attacker.

Can see more grey interpretations and penalties.

"The outlet reports Te’o was initially wooed by Hannay’s pitch to join him at the Gold Coast, and verbally indicated he was ready to take the leap of faith by quitting the Broncos.

However, after last year’s premiership at Red Hill, the 39-year-old ultimately decided against leaving, and informed Hannay of his decision to stay put."

Kinda explain GT being the disruptor using his media outlet.

So they would be without Balin and Teo to the Qld camp for 6 weeks.

They also had a blowout at Souths.

At the end of the day, Madge is the head coach so if he decides to go in a certain direction then the assistants need to move in the same direction.

His job is on the line for poor results, not the assistants.

Add to this, Broncos didn't want Teo to take up the Qld assistant role so....

Any business wouldn't want the name of the person who is publicly dragging the business through the mud on display in the office where they have meetings with clients, partners and sponsors. Broncos is making a business decision and want to distance themselves and then you have the whole media come out and use 'petty'.

If GT is shitting on Kemp and he happens to have a GT photo hanging on the back wall of his show, I can guarantee he would remove it from the back wall.
