POST GAME Round 24 - Broncos vs Dragons

[Foordy]

Just watching the replay....**** me what was that touchie looking at when she said no try to Corey Oates...

Every time I see her she makes at least one terrible decision.

**** HER OFF!!!

We don't need a quota for female officials.

Ps I like Casey Badger - seems to do a good job.

Did she say no try or did she just say to check the sideline and Cheatchin made the no try call.

How much better does our attacking shape look the past 3 weeks, just need to get the timing right now with a few things and it's a fucking dangerous side. They are really enjoying the attacking style too, they look like they are rushing up in defence to hurry the set up so that they can go back on the attack!! They lacked a bit of discipline last night with rushing plays and silly penalties which Bennett will address during the week no doubt.

Yep she said check the try line as one of the dragons obstructed her view. Happened right in front of me.

Has nothing to do with her being female, and everything to do with her being human. Same as the blokes who ref when they make mistakes. Smh.

..one of the dragons obstructed her view...Smh

I mean it was a tight call, no question, but let's not be handing out pussy passes with this obstructed view thing. The last foot was a straight view down the line - with no one in the way. Sims had well and truly cleared the touch line.

Gotta hand it to Oates - a cover hit from Tariq and he still manages to get it over. That is something to truly smh about...

Watched the game on telly and agree with most posters about the Broncos not playing to their usual speed. However, I've noticed WB normally employs this tactic with a few games before the regular season ends.

No point of needlessly burning players out when Finals are coming around. WB has mentioned before that he never cared about the Minor premiership and what is important is form and attitude.

“We were a bit flat tonight but I thought our defence was our feature,” Bennett said. “If you want to be a quality football team you have to be able to defend.
“And I thought Anthony (Milford) was very good tonight but (halfback) Kodi Nikorima was off the pace - but that is OK, he’s had plenty of good games.”

Wayne must be one of the people who think Taylor needs to come back... :notsureifserious:

Our right side was a bit quiet, especially Roberts, due to Kodi's relative lack of attacking involvement.
In fairness, he was severely targeted by the Dragons (25 tackles with 4 misses "only"), which took some of the spark out of him. Boyd didn't help either, and was again well below his best.

Milford however, thrives with the freedom and ability to take the leading playmaking role. He was magnificent last night!

Our ball control was pretty average at best, and our forwards were a bit too trigger happy on the offloads and fantasy balls (especially Blair), without earning that right with hard runs getting us over the advantage line.
Thaiday and Hunt were pretty good, and certainly helped us make more meters than the Dragons in total, despite the lopsided possession and penalty count, mostly thanks to our 3/4 line, who made 2/3 of our 1500+ mtrs.

Our defense was superb and won us the game. Line speed, scramble and desperation is what you want leading up to the finals. Loved how we shut down pretty much everything they threw at us, as well as the latest Dragons fad (Dufty)... manhandling him regularly.
How we kept their rampaging forwards from getting on a roll, should also serve us well against Parra.

Checcin is a deadset idiot, and probably had money on the dragqueens. I can't explain how else his interpretations of the same offenses was completely different according to which jersey they belonged to.
He tried everything to get the merge back in the game, including ruling a no try on the Oates beauty before going up to the video ref. Maybe he was hoping there would be enough doubt to avoid overturning his call...?

I completely agree with the " what the **** was she watching " comment , but the male officials aren't much chop either.

I only make the comment because she seems to come up with a clanger a game but no action....i doubt that the NRL are keen to sack her because of the PR fall out.

She mouthes no try....no "i didn't see"....watch carefully - she says no try...

 

[Brent81]

Just watched again....raises her hand and she says "no try"...she was wrong...ps unsighted rubbish

 

[I bleed Maroon]

People giving her way too much credit. As soon as Oates feet leave the ground she has a clear line of sight to the ball. What. Is. She. Looking at???

Good question.

Now play it in real time. Oates got damn close to the sideline with his foot and it's probably harder to tell from behind.

Then you say "i didn't see, i reckon x" not "wait matt, it's no try....yeah no try".....indeed I reckon Chechin was actually about to give it until she came running up....

Fyi she was looking at his feet (which she had a clear sight of), that was the only issue, they were clearly in the air when they went over the sideline.

Clearly? In real time I disagree. It was close.

Problem is she was certain that he was in touch, hence no try....

How the **** would you know what she said ... there is no audio on touchies...

My lip reading skills may certainly not be at a level even seemingly close to what @Brent81 seems to suggest his are but I also have watched it repeatedly and still have no idea what she said but I am sure she didn't go running up to Cecchin at any time.
