The knock on was a 50/50 call I can live with.

The final penalty was shithouse but still correct. Boyd took a dive but Mbye was dumb.

No problem with Brisbane winning, they weren't good enough.

However, Sutton's refereeing in general has been sub-standard and the way he treated Klemmer (including that ridiculous penalty) leaves a lot to be desired. And I'm not sure what the benefit is of him refereeing with his brother as assistant when their other brother is the refs boss? Split them up ffs

How is this knock back even up for debate? It’s clearly backwards. It goes almost what about a metre backwards. From where he touched it to where it lands it’s all backwards

One of the many times the Broncos were not penalised. The ENTIRE SQUAD was off side, right in front of Sutton's own eyes, just as the ball was being played by the players foot.

Boyd is definitely onside.

 

[lockyno1]

every single call went against the Bulldogs in the second half

No it didn’t and don’t be ridiculous. Calls went both ways all night. A side can defend a couple of poor decisions.

I guess Lui's wasn't a knock on either then

I'd like them to retrospectively award the semi final to the Cowboys please

Imagine if they retrospectively reviewed the 2010 Grand Final...

I review that game once a month. Great day.

That was a blatant knock on.

You're either drunk or hate Rugby League to suggest that should have been play on.

100% tommy! (If you ignore the definition of a knock on and/or what actually happened.)

 

[blaza88z]

he ignored a blatant Broncos knock on and invented a penalty to give to the broncos

Ball went backwards, keep on with that agenda though

 

[Sean7]

The thing is though, whether you think it's a knock on or not, that's always ruled a knock on. So what the referee boss is actually saying is that they finally got one right.

Someone argued the point well about momentum; similar to how a pass can travel forwards but be backwards out of the hands.

In this case it looked backwards because Isaako was moving backwards but the touch from the hands was forwards.

If that shit is not deemed a knock on going forwards then the game will turn into an epic mess.

and 8 - 3 penalty count says otherwise

That’s a much better argument as to why it as a bad call.

Penalty count is purely a number. If you keep doing the wrong thing the ref will penalise
