Strip rule sparks EPIC Gus vs Gal argument! | Wide World of Sports 

Wasn't public stoning a mediaeval thing?

Fk bro 😂😂😂😂 too funny 😂😂

When you get to that age, that dominance exist because of that.

I liked it when Gus said to Paul, "Those things on the side of your head are ears", totally classic Gus.

Gus practically putting gal back in his place. I often wonder about gal sometimes with his opinions and how he interprets certain situations according to how he sees things. I do think there are times where gal needs to keep his place in certain situations where there's a disagreement or conflicting views on how a rule is interpreted by the NRL. In my opinion, gal can get a bit hot headed on certain topics when discussing issues on 100% footy. He can be a bit of a smart-arse at times but all in all he's a great bloke and a great legend of the modern game.

Lol

The momentum of the tackle caused gutho to go from shoulder to arm/ball. He wasn't "playing" at it. Also at the point the ball comes loose from Liddle it touches gutho. Which a lost flat ball is still a knock on. A better example would have been when a player plays the ball, places it on the ground and misses it with his foot and walks forward. That's a knock on and the ball doesn't go forward. Same as this, it comes out as it's contacting gutho.

get over yourself lol the nrl itself said gutho raked it and the decision of loose carry was incorrect@@iluzonist

@@iluzonist strip every day of the week

@@pooddly9637 lol

Lol

Gus uses '91 GF Laurie Daley example... it is EXACTLY the same as the situation with the Eels, except instead of Gutho collecting the ball, St George did... Gus's own argument was that it should have been play on (exactly as Gal said), therefore the try should have been awarded...

But the ball carry is moving forward, if he loses the ball the ball is still moving forward.

@@effkay3691 That does not matter. Forward, backward, sideways, Gutho is stripping the ball which means he's playing at the ball. It's not a loose carry so even if the ball went forward, Gutho playing at the ball makes it 6 more for the Dragons and the try should have been awarded.

Firstly, the ball was still moving forwards before it hit the ground, and bounced backwards. It's not by a lot, it went backwards relative to the runner, but that doesn't mean it went backwards relative to the field of play. Secondly, if it's deemed a loose carry, which is should be, the moment possession of the ball was lost if it touches or is touching an opposing player and it's still travelling forward, that's already a knock-on before it even gets below the runners waist.

Who?

Just an old grumpy Gus ranting and not making sense 😂

It’s all the eels fans thinking they won fair and square, even their last try shouldve been disallowed, Moses jumps into two St George plays with no intent at getting the ball and they score, the bunker had too much money on the eels to win.

he lost the ball, knock on, no try.

Regardless of if it's a strip or not it's a try. Either Dragons drop the ball back, play on and try, or it's stripped, play on, try. And I'm a Parra fan saying this.

@@notoriousmigz2427 it was a knock on, if you are a parra fan you have a lot bigger things to worry about bud, get over it.

True aye...that's one call I never thought the kiwis would get in their favour, what a match

It also why I rarely watch it anymore. bet this bet that, don't forget ya Multi. but. do it responsibly, by giving ya coin to us. yeah right.. .... Look at the 3 games in dispute, what's in common? The 3 teams that got the pineapple were all fighting to stay off the bottom.. those who got the cake, fighting for the top 8.. call me cynical.. ;) If betting wasn't a major sponsor, would it be the same? we will never know.. but. me.. I'm very cynical..

Yep it's the National Rigged League. Bending the rules to fit their agenda.

Definitely he dropped the ball. It’s simple

No, when it’s an attempted strip it has to be play on whether it goes forward or back. The only time it should be considered a knock on is dependent on which direction defender strips it and retrieves it.

No he don’t you just can’t get it processed with your 1 brain cell

I love to see it

forward out the hand

The ball has no momentum in any direction at the point of him losing it, the momentum that makes it look to be backwards is after he loses it into gutho. Always has always will be a knock-on

Whatever the bunker, referees, Vlandys or Annesley feel like 😂

That is not a loose carry. A loose carry is when you're making a tackle and your hand or arm that makes the tackle hits the ball or arm of the opposition and he loses possession that is a loose carry. a strip is your hand wrapped around the ball a forcefully ripping it out of the opponent's harm right? Who listens to GUS anyways.

@@philipvillarroel8256 One of the basic fundamentals that they once taught juniors was how to carry the ball without someone stealing it - it was your responsibility, a skill that could easily be learnt. We also practised this skill, sneaking up on our mates to dislodge the ball they were carrying. That interpretation has changed over time, protecting the ball carrier more and more. Make it simple.

@@markbowman2890 so your telling me no matter how hard someone rips at the ball it shouldn’t come out? Lets not forget it’s Jacob Liddle carrying the ball not Pappali. And interpretation has not changed overtime as long as I can remember if you played at the ball and their was intent to strip play on. He didn’t just hit the ball he ripped the ball out of his arms.

@@philipvillarroel8256 One on one the basic answer is yes. The problem with multiple tacklers is that the contest is no longer fair. The ball used to be held in a way that it was anchored to the body, accessible at one end only. Gallen said that such methods were too far back in time to be of relevance. For the record, I was smashed by much larger players on many occasions but that was no excuse if I dropped the ball.

@@markbowman2890 buddy being smashed to someone ripping the ball out of your grip totally different! Your sounding like Gus now. Exactly to far back move forward with the times throwing a punch is forbidden now back then it was applauded.

It doesn't matter if it goes backward or forward. Gutho stripping the ball means he's playing at the ball so it's not a loose carry. Even if the ball goes forward, Gutho playing at the ball makes it 6 more for the Dragons and the try still should have been awarded.

Correct initial contact started at shoulder

100% agree with this. At the point the ball comes out, it contacts gutho. Which makes the ball going "backwards" irrelevant. At best it's dead flat and still constitutes a knock on or dropped ball. No different from playing the ball and no foot touching it. That's a knock-on. Ball didn't travel forward there.

Incorrect. Liddle still had an arm wrapped around the ball tucked into his body. Gutho has his hand on the ball and makes a clear stripping motion. At no point does it fit the definition of a loose carry. The ball was stripped, Dragons player picks it up and scores, that's a try. Even if the ball went forward, it was a strip by Gutho which means he's playing at the ball and it's 6 more for the Dragons which still makes the try a try. A loose carry is when a player loses possession of the ball without the tackler playing at the ball which was not the case in this one. The people saying it's a knock on and a no try, you're wrong. Plain and simple.

@@jacobthorpe4316 I recommend a thorough reading of the NRL laws of the game. And this goes for everyone thinking the referee got it wrong. Section 11.8: If, after being tackled, he accidentally loses possession, a scrum shall be formed except after the fifth play-the-ball. Notes: If a tackled player loses possession of the ball at the moment of impact with an opponent or with the ground, play shall proceed unless stopped for some other reason Section 11.9a The ball can be stolen from the player in possession at any stage prior to a tackle being complete when there is only one defender effecting the tackle. In a nutshell a tackler can attempt to steal the ball before the completion of the tackle. The ball carrier is responsible for ball security, failure to do so and the ball is lost will result in a scrum to the opposition. In part I was incorrect, knock on is not actually relevant, it is the loss of the ball in the tackle.

@@jacobthorpe4316 the momentum of the tackle forced his arm down from shoulder to his hand. That's not a stripping motion. Yes I'd say if he was still standing and doing that I'd say it was stripping. But it wasn't intentional.

What the hell are you watching?

Stripped

Unfortunately it was a try saver by the Bunker
