Yeah but we all know that's never going to happen. When does it ever happen? So why would that change now? No matter what he was always going to go upstairs. Referees have always played it safe and especially considering it's a finals match, he was never going to back himself. Nah
He was still fighting in the tackle, and because he was over the line the ref allowed it to linger. As to the placement of the ball whilst all the commentators wanted to act like it was 100% not on the line, it might have rubbed the edge before the second push. It went up as try so it had to come back as try without anything conclusive. We should have ref cam.
Fuck SKD has been a big return for us, predicted he'd do well on the wing for us this year but have to admit I never thought he'd be this good. I reckon he's just about the best play 1, play 2 carrier in the game at the moment.
You just can't have fast ruck speed everywhere and then change the rules when a bloke is near the try line. This has been an on-going problem for years and I don't see it ever changing. The replays being more suggestive of coming up short than scoring is just added salt.
Well, I had money on Easts, can't stand Canterbury and thought the Chooks would've won regardless of the horrible call. So er yeah, dem lemonz.....or something.
You guys were gun coming out of your own end last night. We would come up big for maybe 1 or 2 tackles and then one of your outside backs would make a good run and quick play the ball every single time. Basically got you on a roll on nearly every set coming out and stopped us getting any defensive pressure on you. Despite the Evans fiasco IMO the scoreline represents how much better I thought you guys were overall.
Nah. I was getting pretty close when Pearce was gonna play. Take them with a 13.5 start or to score more than 1.5 tries in 80 minutes. Both were paying about $1.06. I just had a smaller head to head bet on them.
I agree with this I think that was more of an issue than the put down. I even said as it happened, jeez are they paying us back one from El Masri's 2004 GF try
Hopefully it highlights the need for the refs to be able to send up a call with the ruling of unsure so the video ref can rule on probability.
Will never happen until the troglodytes who somehow think it's less bad to have a bad decision if the on-field ref makes it than if the video ref does die off.
I am one of those people Reckon buy putting more accountability on the refs to make the calls we will see the standard increase.
This is because the idiot commentators call for it, but when they get shit wrong ask why he didnt check it.
