There is a rule which I can't find at the moment, where it is either the ball has to be stationery or moving (I can't remember which) If the defender is outside the in-goal area & grounds the ball then in one instance it is a drop out & the other is a tap. I'd have to find the rule to clarify whether it is correct or not.

Iirc the old rule was if you touch the ball with foot or something on or over the dead ball line, the ball is considered to be in touch. But it was changed many years ago, and I think you’re right that if it’s stationary you can only do it then, but I am not certain. Gutho is always doing it with the general field touch line. I did think there was something wrong with the one Gus is talking about but didn’t dwell on it.

Isn't that the one Paul Carrige messed up in 98?

The ball stopped dead. The old rule was if the ball was in motion, you can put your leg out and knock it dead and get a 20 m restart.

Carrige had a game to forget, with a number of blunders - including the one I mentioned above. Ball momentum was completely gone and he knocked it dead thinking it would be a 20m tap. Shock of his life when Harrigan ordered a dropout.

Source of some of my favourite ever commentary that game (as opposed to this era, where I'd rather have a commentary mute feature).

Sterlo [80:00+]: "Yeah, I cannot believe Paul Carriage would have ever given an opportunity for that to happen."

Sterlo [83:31]: "Well, he has made some of the dumbest plays I've ever seen in a game of Rugby League, Paul Carriage..." :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

Sterlo [92:56]: "He's caught the ball and run it into touch".
You can't only read this one to get a full appreciation. You have to listen to Sterlo's despair and disgust in equal measure. This one "broke him" :grinning:
 
Can someone who has access to Gus on Twitter, please tweet him and make the suggestion, that the club should ask for a home game early in 2026 against the Tigers.

This would draw a huge crowd to Accor and give us an opportunity put Sunday‘s disaster to rest.

Hopefully we have a more competent ref next time we play them. We were horrible but he CARRIED the tigers the whole game and made some questionable calls.

I had grand final tickets. Was watching this game at Wests Ashfield Leagues Club. Parra mates giving it to me, my other Bulldogs mate gave up 2secs before we scored the first try in the comeback to go play pokies.

Then Polla- Mounter did that field goal attempt, I swear it had gone over and did a lap of the leagues club yelling the Dogs are in the grand final. Then got back to my mates who told me to settle down, extra time is on.
