NRL: Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart and Joseph Tapine spoke to the media following their round 4 loss to the Cronulla Sharks.
Roosters halfback Sam Walker has called on the NRL to sort out the obstruction rule once and for all, declaring “there’s not a great deal of consistency” after teammate Joseph Manu was incorrectly denied a try in the 22-16 loss to Penrith.
The only place to watch every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play is Fox League, available on Kayo.“I’ll say one thing – I feel like every time we’ve done a black and white interpretation in rugby league, it’s been a failure,” he said. “The sooner we come to a decision about it all and get it out of the way because no one wants to be talking about obstruction rules.”
“I thought it was a pretty sketchy one. I didn’t know the obstruction was on Jared until the end of the game, so that was pretty weird. “It can be frustrating for fans and for players, but at the end of the day, if they’re acknowledging that they’re making mistakes – and as long as we can learn from them – then it’s sweet.”As for the rule, Smith says it’s on the players to adapt to the interpretations, crediting Penrith for reacting quickly after hooker Mitch Kenny was accused of acting as a blocker for Nathan Cleary’s kicks.
