What base is this reptar? [emoji13]

Was it meant to be 10010 to 1100 judging by surrounding scores?

Has there actually been anything vaguely official on this though? Thought it was a media beat up to sell papers.

2024 NRL Round 10: Teams and Game Day

Well, a strong tactical position would be if the opposition knocked on in goal and your fullback picked it up and ran 30 metres. Then you’d play advantage. But if they scooted out of the in goal and got tackled on the 10, you’d say no advantage and rule a 20 metre tap. No, it’s talking about the st...

But what's the point of him hanging out to dry a touch judge who incorrectly raised his flag? We all know the guy made a mistake, what's the point in crucifying him over it.

Good to see Cotric come back and have a good game.

I expect that when it’s back to not playing in pouring rain, and the fire and energy from a break wear off that Cotric and Whitehead will once again struggle with speed/movement. But hopefully they prove me to be an idiot.
