Parramatta v Canterbury GAME DAY thread 19/7/18

[hineyrulz]

So none at all then???

I really would like some footage, otherwise we would just be guessing like the refs.

 

[Bazal]

I didn’t see any evidence of Kaysa getting the ball down.

I just can't believe it hasn't been addressed yet...

It’s a bit of a joke really, this place is really going to shit.

 

[T-Boon]

Am I the only one who clicked on Victoria to see if she is hot?

 

[Bazal]

Taka certainly didn't

Tongue out of cheek, that call shat me off.

I'm normally the first to shitcan Taka because he's as dumb as a Raider, but seriously...Taka didn't get the ball down as a direct result of being shoved off the chase by Morris. We should have at least got a penalty and a sin-bin, but nothing.

Lucky we got some sort of justice with the Moses runaway try

 

[eel01s]

What about Perenara going upstairs with "no penalty try" when French was obstructed?

Guarantee both instances would have been called penalty tries if we were the defensive side.

 

[forward pass]

Thought the first 40mins of the season was brilliant.

First 38 !

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Yeah I am sick of the constant bombing too. It is so ineffective.

It does what it is intended to do, which is make a counterattack very difficult. Also a chance of forcing an error, or even resulting in an unforced error. The bomb is the safe option.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

that one would be wrong

All y'all is the plural of y'all.

 

[Oscarman]

Is she? Not sure I can be bothered to find out for myself. Are there nudes?

Bunker never cleared the Josh Morris contact which is what is what sent up for, or if they did they didn't directly address it. They cleared there was no contact from Brett Morris but I thought the rule was you can't lead with your feet, which Brett did. There was 2 penalties in that play and we didn't get either, then the refs didn't know what happened when Hayne stripped the ball 1v1 in the ensuing set.

They had absolutely no idea last night, totally incompetent.

something to build on for next season...

The stripping penalties are driving me off the game. I am sick of them.

If a referee awards a penalty for a strip, and the replay shows there was no strip then either

a) The ref is assuming what happened - totally f**king unacceptable for a match official.
b) The ref is a complete cheat - again totally f**king unacceptable for a match official.

It is only one of those two options. The most likely reason is (a)

Are the NRL going to continue to accept referees making assumptions about things they have not seen?? Ludicrous.

Surely there is a third more likely option:

c) In real time with only seconds to make a decision the ref thought they saw a strip.

 

[hindy111]

You miserable sad sacks. FMD. I’m going to find a happy thread.

The blueprint thread

 

[hindy111]

Great points.
Pritchard didnt get the ball down.
Even though very frustrating to watch this team perform I'm happy we got 2 points.

It touched the grass before he was pulled up. 100% as he slid

 

[hindy111]

But the coach is shit. Should dissalow it

 

[T-Boon]

It was a terrible interpretation but it is not unusual.
In my opinion the referees should err on the side of the defender in a one on one strip. They should have to be absolutely certain there has been an infringement.
Broadly speaking the game rewards getting tackled way too much. If you get tackled by one guy you should be forced to squeal like a pig for him.

TBH Hayne probably knocked on - scrum and they get the ball .... but dunno what universe a 1on1 strip ends up a penalty ... not much different outcome tho, they get the ball either way
