Just a cheap way to get a point. Scoring tries is what RL is about.
Four rule changes for rugby league
The 5 point try would go with the 4 point try. Just because Union has it doesnt mean league is not allowed to have it. I am not a fan of the field goal. I think its a bit of a cheap way to win a match.

The Moeen Ali that came to Australia should never have played 5 tests and took 5 wickets. In his first innings in this series he took a 5 for.
England vs India: Who starred and who didn't for England?
I didnt expect that reaction from anyone. Just stating what everyone pretty much knows…
England vs India: Who starred and who didn't for England?
The 8 was purely for the cricket.
England vs India: Who starred and who didn't for England?
I cant imagine them dropping Broad or Anderson if fit. I think Woakes would have missed out.
England vs India: Who starred and who didn't for England?
Cheers mate. I held back on Curran cause his bowling may not have deserved an 9 or higher, but with the bat he was huge! Thanks for your feedback!
England vs India: Who starred and who didn't for England?
Still work for him to do, but was a huge player for England in the series!
England vs India: Who starred and who didn't for England?
Haha… For some reason I always call him Chris! Bairstow scored runs in the first couple of tests, and his keeping was good. Root, made runs at the end when the series was done and dusted, before that an 80 was all he contributed.
Woakes didnt fit into the team with Stokes and Curran in the team, so he was the obvious one to leave out. Nice to hear from you Jimmy!

Bloody funny…. absolute gem of a comedy piece. Cheers.
Bellamy abusing halfback role until rugby league becomes a challenge
I think the Doug Walters comparison is a good one. He should be a better bowler than Doug but not the quality of batsman. However that would be best case scenario. Worst case scenario would be a Simon O’Donnell player, where he is excellent at the short version of the game, but average at the longer version of the sport.
What do India do with Hardik Pandya?

Is Virat Kohli a cheat?
He doesnt need a man in a van. He knows himself it is out. So why review? Isnt this acting dishonestly to gain an advantage?
Is Virat Kohli a cheat?
According to the definition below: Cheating is ‘act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage’. So you consider reviewing it when you know you are out not acting dishonestly to gain an advantage?
Is Virat Kohli a cheat?
Can you point out where I called Kohli a cheat? IF you read it properly, I said he wasnt. But it’s starting to go that way if he keeps reviewing when he knows he is out. Is that not attempting to cheat?

Where did this comment come from and how is it related to the article?
Is Virat Kohli a cheat?
The problem with this is Kohli cant cover up the evidence, that bit is out of his control. So you cant say Kohli is only cheating if he is covering up the evidence when he can nothing about that part.
He simply should not be reviewing decisions he knows are out. That bit stinks a bit. I know he is desperate to win, but if you are out, talk the long walk. Not only is it selfish punishing your team by losing a review, but you are doing something dishonest.
Is Virat Kohli a cheat?
I just cant think of one person in cricket who has tried to review something that has come off a glove or bat and then been caught after being given out. It would have happened though. But twice in three tests is starting to go beyond what is reasonable.
Is Virat Kohli a cheat?
Yes you should not be standing there if you know you nicked it. This has crept into cricket, doesnt mean it is right. Reviewing it though is taking it to another level.
Is Virat Kohli a cheat?
That is a lack of respect from Broad. Should not be allowed by the ICC.
Is Virat Kohli a cheat?
Hard to argue with the facts James. Even though nobody can prove Kohli didnt know he was out, anyone who has played the game knows when its hit your glove. For it to happen twice in 3 tests suggests the first one wasnt an honest mistake. That and the massive double noise.
Is Virat Kohli a cheat?
100% correct James. I was giving Kohli the benefit of the doubt but if you put accurately like you have, it starts leaning towards the c word.
Is Virat Kohli a cheat?
So you are happy Souths got a penalty when the Dragons player through a pass into him? His pass was going straight for the first reciever. Why should he be punished for a guy lying in the ruck?
