The shot clock is meaningless against the 'Canberra concussion test'. Ref has no choice but to blow time off if he starts going through the HIA protocols behind the line.
And ...Heeeeee's OK Folks... Lucky. :thumbup:
Technically a penalty as the ball was over the line for the dropkick. Time wasting also a penalty, Manly got done a few years back for it, same circumstances goal lione dropout.
It’s not in the video but think the shot clock did go off. The ref ruled a line drop-out, suddenly a trainer started treating a Storm player (Jacks I think), the ref told the Storm the player had to go off the field because the trainer hasn’t started treating him before the drop-out was ruled, Smith argued with the ref about it for ages, and somewhere in there the shot clock went off. But instead of penalising the Storm for time-wasting the ref said play on. Incidentally at another point in the game the ref penalised the Raiders for not packing a scrum before the scrum clock ran out.
Well if you’re behind you kick it fast if you’re in front you soak up as much time as possible. What we do with a ridiculous slow play the ball? Solution don’t get in a position where you’re chasing the game.
I don’t mean get rid of the shot clock - just that if there is one and Smith kicks before the bell goes, what is the issue?
Overall I agree with you
I think the shot clock is an example of over engineering a solution
Refs could already ping teams for time wasting but instead of empowering them to do that they introduced a shot clock - now teams soak up the full 30 seconds every time, even if they’re in position and ready to go
In fact he should have been sin binned for a professional foul.
Deliberately and cynically breaking the rules to his team's advantage. Twice.
It was a premeditated orchestration.
Do you mean get rid of the shot clock? Surely that would mean more down time. I would like them to take 10 seconds off it.
Now they get ready , look at the clock , wait, wait, then kick .

Cheers - none of that came across in the video Happens a lot where a player suddenly drops like they’ve been shot

That's the coaches playing games with each other. It started from the 1st dropout and the Raiders were doing it as well.

I don’t necessarily agree with the shot clock for dropouts but as long as he kicks within that time, what’s the problem?

Referees never get penalised for anything they do.
