NRL 2026 Round 3 Discussion

Isn't this a discretionary call?

How can they challenge?
 
So you're allowed to challenge discretionary calls now??????????
 
Hahahaha we're pulling this one up on field of all the ones they let go every single game.

They let people walk off the mark, throw the markers away. But thats the one we wanna try call.
 
Technically you just have to make an attempt.

Which he did.

The correct call was to make Herbie play it again.
Is it not a discretionary call from the ref though?

What did the ref even call?
 
Ref called that he tried to play the ball too quickly, and lost balance so incorrect play the ball.

Not sure they should be allowed to challenge that per the rulebook, but we got to the right call.
 
Cobbo with some speed there... did they feet go out right at the end though??
 
Is it not a discretionary call from the ref though?

What did the ref even call?
Did not play the ball square/off the mark/too quickly.

I don't think Sutton's call was correct, but by the same token the Dolphin's shouldn't have been allowed to challenge it and we needed to see where the tackle was actually made to determine it.

The correct call here was to simply get Herbie to play it again, Sutton penalising Herbie in the first place was ridiculous.
 
But isn't everything around the ruck considered discretionary?
I really don't know. I remember Paps got done for one last year and challenged but that's the only one I remember.
