So one back, one forward and one on either wing? I'd think that'd make things a bit more confusing, overlapping calls, contradictory decisions. Easier on the Ump's tanks I guess.
I think what they'd really want to see is events on the boundary side of the contest getting picked up. I've talked about this before but I spent a few years as a boundary umpire here in Brisbane, and there's nothing worse than seeing a clear high tackle, knowing the entire crowd saw it, and not having the power to make the call! If the extra umpire is added boundary side I think that will help a lot of those incidents that get missed.
Hi Neil, no haven't heard anything about Clarry, gee I hope it's not true or nothing serious, if he's out for a bit wonder if it'd be worth replacing him with Petracca? Let us know if you find out anything mate.
With regards to Oliver, you’ve mentioned several times that ‘apparently’ he has a serious injury or you’ve heard rumours about this mystery injury without citing a source.
Yet the club is yet to say anything to that effect and Oliver does not look hampered when playing the pre-season matches.
In the future, please refrain from posting rumours and provide information with the source quoted.
