Finals Week 2 Discussion

[Major JW Hochstetter]

There were TWO refs in the box? How they **** do they BOTH come up with a terrible decision like that?

Steve Clark and Paul Simpkins.

Putting two of the game's worst ever on-field refs together in a playpen upstairs with their fingers on the button is a recipe for disaster.

And **** Shayne Hayne acting like he's friggen royalty when JT was trying to get his attention.

Some of the decisions last night were atrocious but i've just come to accept that this year. It happens every week and 1 team always gets screwed unfortunately it was Cowboys this week and it cost them their season!

I reckon the NRL should just let the commentators make the video ref calls! Or if I was a video ref I'd just have the commentary playing and make the same decision they do. It couldn't be any worse than the standard of refereeing we have now!

It honestly blows me away how often Manly get the rub of the green. It isn't a one off. They seem to get 90% of calls go their way.

 

[The Brizz]

Same with the Sharks Beads the sides with coaches who pressure the refs the most get the most calls

And yet Toovey the berk has the hide to whinge at every single post match press conference. After last nights game he no longer has the right to whinge ever.

Wonder if Harrigan will front the media and say "we got that wrong"?

Stuart Raper is reviewing the game. (just on the radio)

According to Bob Fulton, if Manly get the rub of the green they will win the comp. (I nearly choked when I heard him say that)

Souths by 7.

 

[Kaz]

Souths are playing well so far.

 

[simmo77]

Canberra are playing like Brisbane. Shite defence and no attack.

 

[vertigo]

Cows and Raiders comfortably.

Could be doing a reverse mocker though.

Dammit.

 

[Alec]

Players like Taylor (and Gillett too) can be very entertaining, but they are also completely unreliable.

 

[Kaz]

Souths get a penalty try.

And yes the video ref made the correct decision. (faints)

 

[Son Edo]

They were too good, lets leave it at that.

 

[user_nat]

Despite the dominant score, I think Souths will have to play better than they did to beat the Dogs next week.

 

[Son Edo]

Twiztid, review please.

 

[Twiztid]

Twiztid, review please.

We are just heading home from the ground but I'll watch the game again as it was a bit hard to see the structures etc.

From what I can recall.

Issac Luke has just proved to Madge that he needs to start. He killed them around he ruck.

Sutton had a blinder hitting holes harder than quite some time.

Our forwards really stood up to their bigger pack.

Inglis was quiet had some good plays as well.

Anyways phone is about to die. We were good but not great and Raiders were not on. We have to be better to beat the doggies.

That wasn't the right decision in any way. To be a penalty try there has to be 100% certainty that they would score. That's why carney asnt given a penalty try in the origin. Inglis probably would have scored, but you cannot say he definitely would have as he got brought down almost instantly like 0.5s before he caught the ball. What would be changed 0.5s later? Absolutely ridiculous. Penalty + sin bin would've been the right decision.

I disagree. I thought penalty try was the correct call. Inglis would've been at least a couple of metres closer to the line if he was tackled when he had the ball and there's no doubt in my mind he would've scored.

If it was penalty + sin bin I wouldn't be complaining either. Either way!
