Rangi and last nights game : Sat Aug 16, 2014 7:03 am  

What a player! He was unreal last night, brilliant performance.

Really good result, some of our attacking play was outstanding. Thought Theo and TP played well, and once Locke gets fit he will be the best player in super league, you can see he is world class.

Bit disappointed on how we leak tries once the game was won, need to sort that out. And few strange decisions from the ref. How can a linesman say a player is in touch for the ref to reverse decision?

You are assuming the TJ was saying Cats were in touch, looked like to long a discussion for that to be the subject.

Thought the ref had a good game tbh - he seemed to let a lot of potential high shots go and then spoke to the player in an available break in play. This helped to keep the game flowing - other referees' would have made more of an issue out of it which would have led to a more protracted game.

Looking forward to the last remaining games (even more so if Rangi keeps that particular game head on) and the link up play with Locke. There were times last night where they were both unplayable which augurs well for our future.

Roll on Wakey away.

Might be worth tweeting the RFL Referees account for an answer on it but I'm sure I remember reading a really random rule about where a player puts a foot in touch while playing the ball after the tackle's been completed then it's play on. Can't remember the exact situation for it and the reasoning behind it though.

When a tackle has been called held you can step into touch without giving up possession. I'm pretty certain that's the case unless the rules been amended.

Worried how Dobson and Chase will gel.
Both tremendous players .

Yes that is the rule, if you step into touch when getting up to play the ball you play on, the ball isn't live until the player plays it.

on another note I am little worried how rangi and Dobson will play together.
I think rangi and theo are playing very well together and both bring something different to the game,
Rangi organises and theo backs up. perfect imo.

I feel when Dobson comes in we may have a rangi / smith scenario again.

Its not a bad headache to have though!! lol

Rangi was outstanding Friday

If Chase plays well, the rest of the team inevitably do so. Ergo, we need him to play well more frequently

Fages had a great game too.
