| Quote Wollo-Wollo-Wollo-Wayoo="Wollo-Wollo-Wollo-Wayoo"I presume it's because Semi wasn't directly behind Broughy so they actually ran different lines to a distant point. A bit like a scalene triangle with Semi having the longest side to run and Broughy the shortest.?????'"
I like it. I'm not hot on science (or is it maths), and I'm one of those people who thinks that when the petrol gauge is on empty, it is better to get to the garage as quickly as possible rather than drive slowly, but now Broughy's run to the corner makes perfect sense.
I feel proud that I was the cause of the words "scalene triangle" being used on RLfans. Who would have thought it. |

i just assumed he was heading for the exact spot that he had pre determined he could guarantee the conversion. semi knew this and was defending the area under the sticks where danny would have less chance.
it was of course my first ever game and im 4

| Quote Slugger McBatt="Slugger McBatt"Could someone please answer a science question for me, because it has puzzled me for a while.
At the Bulls game, Brough was through and in front of the posts, albeit about forty yards out. Semi was alongside him. Now I reckon Brough was nearer to the posts than Semi, and therefore you would think that he would get there first, but I have no doubt that had he not "run the arc" (to quote the bald oaf from Dewsbury) he would have been caught. If Semi is faster than Broughy (although maybe not
), why does running away from him for longer to get to the corner make it less likely that he would be caught. If the chasing man is faster, you would think that running for longer would increase the chance of being caught, but it never seems that way.
Or have I got too much time on my hands?'"
Slugger I'm afraid it's another Douglas Adams moment.

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.

Basically he wanted to prove that he can kick from anywhere and the only way to secure this was to score out wide himself as he had already kicked two (I think it was at that stage) from the other line

| Quote The Clan="The Clan"I is all about shifting the trajectory of your momentum in order to evade being tackled. Action from one player will always be quicker than reaction from another.
Broughy is the one who decides to "shift" and in doing so he gains a split second advantage over Tadulala which translates in to a greater distance between ball carrier and defender.
There are many occasions when you will see an attacking player shift trajectory a number of times which has the effect of completely throwing the defender off track.'"
Hence the sidestep sir? A level Physics i wouldn't mind studying
Maybe Hendo could tell us the Physics behind it?....Or maybe not! |
