Reasons why Brace is the perfect host: 1. He consistently keeps the show flowing smoothly. If a topic is heating up, he will generally let that topic continue a bit longer than normal because that's what the viewers want. Even though the producers are responsible for this, he makes it seemless. 2. He realizes that the show is NOT about him. He doesn't interject with nonsensical statements as though he just likes to hear his own voice. He defers to the professionals for the technical analysis of the game. Is there anything more annoying than a talk show host who makes the show about themselves? 3. He's professional....but not too professional. Brace is not scared to laugh at himself, he keeps a jovial tone and positive attitude throughout. He looks like he's actually enjoying himself and doesn't come across as being too serious, while keeping a professional demeanor. 4. He's a genuine Rugby League fan. I listen to his podcast with Gus every week, and when Gus brings up a subject which most would find ominous, Brace generally has a good idea about what Gus is talking about. If Brace doesn't know what Gus is talking about, he will ask about it curiously as though he genuinely wants to learn. 5. Brace just comes across as a very likeable guy in my opinion. He looks like he actually enjoys his job and is doing it for the right reasons. He doesn't come across as an elitist. He's just an average guy, doing an above average job. Good on you James. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment.

[@patrickegan8866]

I agree with Gus. Didn't take defenders long to start realising they could just flop & prevent try's being scored.

[@fishesndishes]

It used to be open to interpretation and there was no consistency. At least now the refs are consistent. That's all that matters. Gus just has a bad memory and is 100% wrong

[@lkuc06]

its not consistant untill a try is scored though

[@Jackhardman93]

Gallen and his mates the pioneers

[@mankytoe1061]

I agree completely

[@MrPaulviles]

It is just a matter of players gaming the system...........we see it now with “crusher” tackles. How many players grab their neck like they are never going to walk again then magically feel better after the whistle is blown? How many of these “crusher” tackled players ever leave the field? Until players stop trying to game the system then it will happen and stupid rules will be made to cover it.

[@absoluteclutch4585]

@Timon Yeah it's a flop %100 but it's so easy bending the NRL rules. Look at Storm with the scrum penalty. They abused it so easily and NRL didn't care lol. The rules have always been inconsistent. Gus raised some very good points. Not to mention the forward pass/ruck control issues.

[@Vegeta_____]

How many NRL players milk for penalties now? Even in the play the ball, there’s milking all the time. That’s what you get when you make the rules so specific, coaches can manipulate gameplay to take advantage of the flaws. What Gus is saying isn’t in the rules, but it’s common sense. It should be the on-field referees interpretation of the play, does he believe the defending team was genuinely at a disadvantage or did it have no effect. The rule shouldn’t be black and white, the interpretation should be

[@sutaroski1]

yeh agreed with gus look at the jarome hughes try that was disallowed against newcastle. the player that was so called obstructed had no chance of getting to the ball and the rest of the Newcastle team gave up on the play but it was disallowed because of that one player playing for obstruction.

[@loganm6178]

Gus knows more then anyone in the game and you all hate to accept it

[@sebbyh9764]

That 2nd disallowed try was and is especially ridiculous

[@John-kv7jo]

I agree. Hunt makes a defensive decision to tackle the lead runner. This does not disadvantage the defence and therefore the try should have been allowed.

[@AJWRAJWR]

Haha. Gus had me laughing there. How did he get funny all of a sudden? 😆

[@benneem]

I think they should add a rule that as soon as an attacking support player has past the ball carrier he has to attempt to decelerate/turn inside and if he is doing so then it is never an obstruction and then the refs can be even harsher on decoy runners that don't decelerate. Gus is right that the defenders intentionally get obstructed to place doubt on a possible try later in the play, but attacking players also continue their line past when they could have received a pass to disrupt the defence.

[@owent2032]

In most cases the defensive player is drawn to the decoy runner because if that decoy runner is passed the ball he is through the gap . That's what creates the space on the outside and overlap. Its not a Sheppard if they catch the ball on the outside.players shouldn't milk a penalty if they made the wrong choice

[@Dracon-International]

[@tyecorbett4496]

gus has a very good point and i also agree that there should not be a rule about the inside shoulder.

Started in the 90s. Knock ons and forward passes that "came out of the hands" or bounced "forward". Best thing to happen to RL is six again. They need to fix the strip rules. Remove the one on one bit.

The first one the dragons player cleaned up the sharks player. In the sharks try the dragons player went in for a tackle but no contact. Daly cherry Evans tackled a player and try got disallowed for obstruction

[@sethatkinson3835]

Now let’s have a talk about forward passes

[@bwoolno]

Gus is spot on

[@setuuuuuuu]

only time ill agree with gus

[@connormaguire8909]

the rule should be something like the runner running a decoy should have to try and slow down but the beauty of a good decoy is it makes players commit, now i feel like it should be an obstruction if they run at the defender, the defender doesn't fully commit and the decoy knocks them over, but you also gotta think, i theres is a possibility of a half 1 meter in front of the line short ball to 2nd rower or out the back to the fullback, both are fair chances of getting the ball and have to run hard, if they don't they should try to slow down, but in that situation, it makes defenders commit to the 2nd rower no matter what happens. The bunker also needs to screw their heads on with milking and people falling over, they honestly must've never played the game before cause they are just so stupid

[@nathanjinimbo4597]

This is the only time i will agree with Gus

[@jyeking4096]

Get rid of the bunker and captains challenge. One ref one decision right or wrong move on with the game. If the on field ref or touch judges didn’t see anything wrong with the play continue on if they missed something don’t winged prove that your team is better try harder and you may win. Two teams have 80 minutes to win or lose a game if you can’t do it in 80 minutes and lose that’s life your team wasn’t good enough. Which brings me to golden point if neither team could do it in the 80 minutes call it a draw both teams get a point and move on to next round. Better luck next time

[@aclarke2708]

I would love to see a comedy skit now we have cutout cardboard for people in the crowd and the sound technician from Friends as the crowd sounds producer, and 2 ref's 2 teams willing to have some fun, what we need to do is have the ref's pull up on obstruction midway through the set of 6 awarding a penalty without a try being involved and just keep doing it for a while to just see a try on the end of 10 half sets of 6 thanks to the obstruction rule to see a try awarded without going upstairs but a blantent forward pass or knock on not seen, that would be funny.

[@MrBobbit666]

he had gal and bird spot on that's why i hated them back then they fn winged every time they get tackled

[@xaoskuntablast3354]

Gus is right . A player with the ball should be allowed to run anywhere he likes except behind his own player . it's the defence that should react . This run at the inside shoulder nonsense is ridiculous . Limit the bunker and get on with the football . AFL is starting to look like a better game to watch at this point

[@Mikeoxmaul179]

The dragons sharks game is perfect example two decisions where it shouldn’t of been based of the bunker but common sense from the ref. First incident dufty would of scored that any day is chad didn’t take a dive as the man outside him couldn’t chase dufty down. The one where Ben hunt went in front of the attacker is more of a defensive error choosing to defend the wrong man simple ref what’s in front of you. If it’s completely oblivious and against rules than make the decision but it’s completely slowing the game down

[@depop21]

Listen to GUS.. BAN the BUNKER! 😳 BACK the BLOCKER!! 👌 .. makes good cents.

[@ronaldwhite5670]

[@rt90s60]

Gus is spot on!! This inside outside shoulder rubbish is splitting straws...

[@franka5174]

Gus spitting facts

[@mitchellberndt6857]

Don’t like either but I agree with Gus.

[@ilmeni541]

Gus obviously hasn't read the rules properly. The exact rule is, "‘Block’ or ‘Flat’ runner[s] (who do not receive the ball) must not run at (chest or outside shoulder of) defender[s] and initiate contact." So you can run at the chest or outside shoulder, as long as you don't initiate contact. Gus's argument falls apart if he acknowledges this part of the rule. Furthermore, at the end of the day it's still up to the ref to determine if the obstruction had an impact on the play. The rule continues, "The Referee or Review Officials can determine the significance of contact initiated by the ‘Block’ or ‘Flat’ runner[s] (who does not receive the ball) in impeding a defender’s involvement in a try scoring play." Come on Gus, at least know what you're criticising.

[@malmotumotu5218]

Gallen is not my favourite but he really make sense more then Gus!Yes Gus,if you have the ball you can run any where😂😂

[@jtnd1]

Gus is wrong. if I run at an outside shoulder I can stop the defenders pathing to the tackle its that simple. Gallen even said if you have the ball you can run to his outside shoulder. its common sense why the rule is there. if every player is running the right lines drawing the right players a block will create the overlap every time. if the half decides to forget the lead runner and chases the sweater(fullback or half) then that's his decision but that creates a hole for the lead runner. the only thing ill agree with Gus on is that they go to the bunker way too much.

[@geekoffaleashgamer616]

ITs so simple. Play the ball not the player. if you go to tackle someone with the ball and then get taken out by a runner then thats an obstruction. If you go to tackle the runner and then the ball goes behind him then thats your fault for not playing the ball.

[@ronaldwhite5670]

The worst example of what Gus is talking about is what Benji did. I’m a Benji supporter but.....I was very disappointed when he did it!

So disappointing, there was once a time league was so entertaining however now, its on the down hill, surely the viewing numbers and attendance numbers suggest this, not including post covid 19, it so obvious from a player getting taken out to a player making the wrong decision and they get rewarded for it, its crazy

[@noelbaker2532]

[@andrewgreenwood7203]

Its simple you gotta catch the ball on the outside shoulder of your dummy runner so there is no Sheppard. If you don't the defense has to make contact with the dummy runner therefore causing an obstruction. If you catch the ball on the inside then your running behind your own player. Guss wrong!
