Round 16 Discussion

Can someone explain to me how they gave that a try? Winterstein put the ball on the sideline, which means it should be no try and a scrum to the Rabbits. How can they possibly see that as a try??

The edge of the ball touches the side line, meaning that the middle of it touched the try line before that... try!

He did do that. But McCrone is another level of plodder all together.

McCrone is guilty of trying too hard to pass and kick with little playmaking talent.

Hoffman is guilty of not trying at all to pass and kick with no playmaking talent.

It's like an anti-Sophie's choice. Thank **** we're the ones who get to replace the plodder with Milford.

Okay, but you can only come to that decision based off what you can't see, not what you can see. What we could see, is the ball hitting the sideline. Was it ruled a try in the first place can you remember?

I think the problem was that the still frame before grounding was in the air and in the next frame, it was past first contact. The ref ruled Try so that's the way it went.

 

[Brett]

Right. So it was ruled a try so it couldn't be over turned. Cheers.

 

[Broncoman]

LOL at Jamie Soward

Losing promising players is always awful. The possibility of them playing for another team, potentially playing better, even having them help plot your downfall should the two teams meet. So it's really refreshing to see Norman derp himself completely for the Eels. The telegraphed dummies, the ball-hogging with 3-man overlaps. I mean, Hoffman is playing out of position, what's Corey's excuse?
