6 agains

[player 1]

Manly also got consecutive 6A from memory in their first try in last years semi.

Oh yeah, I remember that, and that they were given for absolutely zero legitimate reason. Got Manly over the line and the momentum they needed.

Anyone have the six again stats for this season? Tommy Smith?

As of yesterday, the Roosters have conceded 34 penalties (7,7,7,8,5) and 7 six agains (0,2,1,1,3).
The opposition have conceded 32 penalties (7,5,5,10,5) and 8 six agains (1,2,1,2,2).

But as many point out, it's where and when in the tackle count you receive them. I'd have to watch every replay to give you that statistic.

I wonder if the V'pandy progressed far in his footy career, looking at his physic I would suggest not too far. I can't understand how he believes that the 6 again is a good rule. If he wants a fast open game he should police the defensive aspect of the game. Some teams I have seen recently stand offside and get off the line when the ball hits the ground in the play the ball rather than when it is picked up by the dummy half. Also, you may have seen that at the 20m restart the players with the back foot behind the line while the front foot is well in front of the line, the only part onside is the foot. This kind of stuff needs to be rubbed out. Also, I agree with some on here that the 2nd ref needs to be bought back to police the offside. While I'm at it can some people on here take a chill pill & leave Rooster players alone when they make a mistake, please!

Watch The channel nine highlights on you tube. Broncos first try, he penalizies butcher for flopping back in after being bumped of initially.

It's been grinding my gears the 3rd man in, not necessarily at the legs but a nearby player that has had no effect in the tackle.

At least butcher was in it initially. But that 6 again was extremely soft.

Yeh especially given there were other noticeable flops in the game that were not called. That was the only flop of the game that was penalised and like you said at least he was originally in the tackle.

A 6 again on 4th tackle after he'd given a 6 agin on the 4th tackle just 30 seconds prior. They scored on the 11th tackle.

For 112 years the game was awesome without the 6 again rule. The 6 again BS has to be the worst rule introduction I've seen in any sport

Like getting free games on a poker machine - even has the ding...Do you feel like we have been had?

[mightyrooster]

I can’t stand the 6 again rule. Get rid if it. I want rugby league not rugba leeg!

Thanks for that. I agree, it's when you receive them that matters.

Nothing wrong with the six again..

Reminds me of an old girlfriend

discarded me eventually

Apparently I didn't measure up.

How many times have we received a 6 again on the FIRST tackle with 30 seconds to go in the first half or second half when the game is beyond us?

This is after the opp get consecutive 6 agains on 3rd or 4th tackle. An even up.

I thought this was a Sutton, Klown and Cummins specialty on us. Now it looks like Atkins has joined the 3 Stooges. So freakin obvious.

Worst rule ever. To hades with it.

Is there a reason why refs don't call a penalty and stop the clock in such situations?

Looking back at the Drongos game, the ref extended the clock twice and tried doing it a 3rd time because they felt we were using unfair tactics after the 80 minute siren had gone.

From my perspective the ref was probably a bit harsh on us in that situation (also, I think the Drongos ran outta time by not taking the penalty quickly enough). However, I don't disagree with it per se.

If you're ahead by a small margin with 30 to go and a team is intentionally rushing up on you from offside positions and/or holding you down too long so that you'll run outta time to score then IMO they should blow a penalty with 30 to go, make sure the clock stops right on the 30, let you march down the field and then start the clock once the ball's in play.

A 6 again is called when there's a penalty and momentum is of the essence. IMO if time is of the essence then blow the penalty (it's still a penalty) and manage the clock tightly. Again... like they did quite generously for Brisbane, giving them EVERY single chance to score without any unlawful impediments stopping them.
