NOT CROSS FORUM NRL 2022 Round 15 Discussion

[Galah]

Yeah I know, I watched the game.

Not sure how that makes it less farcical.

It’s like saying, I thought the other driver in a similar car did the incorrect turn…so don’t worry about it ..like wtf!

 

[Galah]

This comp in its current state can not be deemed as fair, it’s that simple.

until forward passes are actually ruled correctly “from the bunker”…freeze the frame draw a parallel line and then play it next frame, if the ball went behind the line from release it’s a fair ball.

Am I taking crazy pills?

 

[Foordy]

They have always ruled it that way. If you are 10m from the 'contest' and your team regathers the ball you can join in the play.

they haven't.

but even if you were correct, that rule is for passive off side ... and by definition you can't be passive and be involved in the play.

it was just another BS call by the incompetents that they have officiating this game. it also didn't cost Manly the game. the 3 tries (or legit tries) they scored in the final 7 minutes.

why Sutton stopped the clock after that try should be investigated though. time off is only meant to be called in the final 5 minutes, not the final 7

I'll stick to farcical. I think it's a pretty spot on description.

Unless you're completely stoned, pretty difficult to confuse the two especially when you spoke to the captain not even an hour earlier and you're meant to ask the captain if they want to challenge the call.

Farcical would be if the decision wasn’t overturned.

How long has it been since roosters weren’t sitting in the 8 at this stage of the season? Expect another reffing special tonight.

 

[BroncsFan]

How can there be an obstruction if the ball never goes past him... Moylan comes back on the defender's inside shoulder... it's a poor defensive decision to continue sliding out instead of coming in where the actual ball is

 

[BroncsFan]

Ramien bombing two tries within a matter of minutes

2016.

Before then, 2012. Which was about the forth consecutive season they found themselves in that position.

 

[BroncsFan]

I'm guessing forward passes are just allowed now... blatant forward pass to Nicho just now... he was basically offside.

One missed earlier in the game as well where all the players gave themselves up and the ref had to tell them to keep playing

 

[Jason Simmons]

If Sharks get up here, we’re out of the top 4…

 

[BroncsFan]

Trindall out there now for the sharks so titans might be a chance now

 

[Battler]

The 1.2 per annum spent on Fifita has really turned the titans around

Probably a dumb question but here goes: why was that last titans try a no try? If the opposition team knocked on and the ref doesn't stop play and the other team scores wouldn't that just be play on?

[ivanhungryjak]

Was it even a knock on? He was facing the other way.

I think (and I repeat, I think) it's because the bunker thought there was a knock on and then Moylan picked it up again. Just a guess.

because the sharks regained possession after the knock on (Moylan picking the ball up and then also Hynes putting the kick in) before the titans gained possession.

The play is effectively finished as soon as Moylan picks the ball up off his own knock on

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

That is the most ridiculous take away of a try. The bunker is fucking cooked. Get rid of it unless it's a captains challenge, and bring in 1 try challenge in the same model.
