"That" Raiders Scrum

[Nashy]

Has someone got footage? Or can someone in detail explain exactly what happened?

All I'm getting is that an NRL team contested a scrum like scrums are meant to be, and scored off it.

The scrum broke, and Carney picked it up from lock, while the Raiders front and back rowers used their bodies and their arms to block the Eels forwards and give Carney a clear passage through the middle. Blatant obstruction and no try, absolute correct decision.

....and furthermore pushed against potential tacklers, pretending to still be binded

 

[Nashy]

So it was a no try then?

 

[Jeba]

Yes. Video ref called No Try.

I'm sorry. But the way you've explained it... why is there even a debate on this?

Er... As per my first post, I think we've established it was an obstruction, what we are discussing is how fricken good it looked!

i think if te forwards on their left didnt push the players so far away and just enough, Carney would have got through anyway and it might of been given a try.
