Was Seibold leaving Souths after a year to go to the Broncos a sliding doors moment? Would he have had a career still? Or would his 'academic' ways eventually backfire on him at Souths? Was this always his fate?

>The Perth Bears have landed a big win on the transfer market after reportedly signing talented young playmaker Jasais Ah Kee from the Dragons.
>Ah Kee is highly regarded, having been crowned the Dragons’ Harold Matthews Cup Player of the Year last season and was contracted at the club until the end of 2027.
>Fox reported in April that the Dragons were in a battle to keep him though, with the teenager instead expected to test the open market. Fox understands Ah Kee had interest from multiple NRL clubs and was close to rejoining his former club, the Penrith Panthers, but has decided to head west for family reasons, signing from 2027 to 2029.
>He will be on a train-and-trial deal from 2027 before progressing to a development contract in 2028 and Top 30 deal in 2029.

>The Bears are also closing in on North Queensland’s Mason Barber.
>Barber is a product of famous rugby league nursery Keebra Park High School and while he is yet to make his NRL debut, he has consistently featured in their 19-man squad.
>While the Cowboys would love to keep Barber, the fullback’s path to regular minutes in the NRL is now blocked with Jaxon Purdue tipped to replace Scott Drinkwater.

Is he related to Caitlyn Ah Fook?

*waits for a player named Lump*

>>154971965
For Souths and Uncle Wayne it was. Seibs isn’t finished, he’ll be in the conversation once someone gets fired next season or retires.
I think he’d be excellent at Melbourne or Penrith, system clubs. He might’ve been good at Souths because we are a hybrid club, he failed at Brisbane and Manly because neither of them are system clubs

Does anyone know when charging down conversion and penalty kicks at goal were outlawed? I can't seem to find any info on that particular bit.

On NRL360 they said the rule came about "3 years ago". IIRC the impetus was Lachlan Illias getting a broken leg in NSW Cup which was in fact 2 years ago

Are the Bears boasting about signing Harold Matt's players??
>>
>>154972830
I don’t know. I’ve always thought of that difference as a professional courtesy, because a missed shot due to chargedown is still a missed shot

Wikipedia says the 1900-1 Northern Rugby Football Union and cites page 70 of:
>Fagan, Sean (2007). Dixon, Kim (ed.). The rugby rebellion centenary edition: Pioneers of rugby league. ISBN 978-0-9757563-0-0.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_rugby_league
So before the game was even called rugby league or played in Australia.

I am now exclusively focusing on the sc cup, which means I will inevitably lose this week.
>>
>>154973436
I know for conversions in union (it's also outlawed for penalties there, but long after the split) they're always running towards the kicker on the off chance that they can charge it down. If it wasn't outlawed in league they'd be doing the same thing here.

>>154973481
Wow, that early? I didn't expect that. Thanks.

>1899
>After a player had been tackled a loose scrum was now ordered formed to allow the ball to be brought back into play.
Early rules were wild af. I have no idea what made the NRFU think this was a good idea.
>>
>>154974539
Scrums back then were more ad-hoc and fast setting, there wasn't even formal rules about scrum numbers and they could set at any time (not to the refs instructions). The first play the ball rule comes quickly in 1906 but it's still a scrum format, just a completely ad-hoc one where the forwards slop-in even more quickly and try to push over the ball like a semi-formal ruck, saving a few seconds from setting up a "proper" scrum. It's not until the 30s that it becomes a modern (albeit contested) play the ball with just four players.

There's historic video of the old ad-hoc scrum format, I'll try to find. I guess the benefit is it opened the field up each play, may have produced exciting backline movement with less defenders in the line.

Versus union it produces cleaner results compared to rucks and mauls suffering continual breakdowns where the ball gets trapped under fallen players (or devolves to penalties). The scrum/play-the-ball gives it a structure and typically clears the ball by making the tackled and tacklers get to their feet first.
>>
>>154974539
>>154975206
In the video here there's a play the ball of the ad-hoc scrum type, where erhe forward all slop in and push over each other. From 1922:
https://www.nfsa.gov.au/collection/item/earliest-footage-1922
>>
>>154975315
>Visible in this footage is the early rule about how the ball is played after a tackle. At this time, a loose ruck is formed when a player is tackled, but with the players not really binding as they do in rugby union. Four years later, in 1926, the two-marker play-the-ball rule was introduced.
>>
>The set of The Rugby League Show 1967, with Rex ‘Moose’ Mossop as the host, Mick Maher to his right and Bruce ‘Lapa’ Stewart on his left. Along with the famous ‘Controversy Corner’ segment, a feature of The Rugby League Show was the passing competition sponsored by the Commonwealth Bank. The bank’s elephant logo formed the bullseye of the target; if you managed to pass the ball successfully through the bullseye you scored 10 points and triggered the sound of an elephant trumpeting. The highest point scorer was awarded a range of gifts including a Pelaco shirt, a Meapro ham and Patra fresh orange juice.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Thinking about bringing in lehi, Isaako or jenkins ladies
>>
>>154974539
In league if any player on the opposition team moves whilst the goalkicker is taking his attempt and he misses the ref can ask the kicker to take the kick again. This is on penalties and conversions

Damn, this actually looks better than what both union and league have now. Would probably be a nightmare to ref though. And both codes' referees already screw up enough as it is.

Also I don't think I've seen that haka before. Wonder why NZ stopped using that.

>>154977446
Yeah, I'm aware it's different from in union. I just didn't know when that bit diverged.

I looked the study up. It was 12 extra cases of DV above normal in NSW on Origin night. It was in proportion with a similar bump in non-DV assaults (about 30 more cases, from memory), and both were almost certainly caused by drinking more alcohol versus a normal Wednesday.

Even one person being a victim of domestic violence is a problem for the whole community. It’s not always alcohol related
>>
>>154983851
The bump is alcohol related, its very similar to the Christmas and New Year's Eve bumps. Origin is unusual in that it falls on a quiet night and turns it into an drinking night, at home or the pub, so suddenly your calm Wednesday becomes a louts Saturday of assaults, both DV and non-DV. The fact there's still 30 DV assaults every normal Wednesday is obviously a big issue, but the easiest way to cut that is to jail more men for longer, particularly Aboriginal men who commit DV in highly disproportionate amounts (their victims being other Aboriginals), it's a crime of repeat offenders, but it requires a government appetite to stand up to the wokies.

>>154983832
Thanks Fatty

360 is unwatchable now. It's meathead's insulting eachother for the sake of jestering. Unfunny, unintelligent, tedious try to sit through.
>>
Rumour going around that the Sharks might leave Shark Park and split their games between Kogarah and SFS
>>
>>154982555
Not unlike the increase in DV right after England's soccer team play a match, I see.
>>
>>154984617
Might as well send them to Adelaide if they're going to do that.
