[Evil Homer]

The difference being the ON FIELD ref said 'try' on Jennings and 'no try' on Hall's. Massive difference. There has to be 100% proof that the decision is wrong. If we are still debating till the cows go down on both decisions (and we are), the on field decisions stay.

Looks pretty conclusive to me. Unless of course you just play it at full speed and pretend you didn't see the numerous slow-motion replays like the Aussie VR did.

Tell me I'm wrong and I'll call you a liar. 2nd half penalty count?

YOU'RE WRONG, WE (AS IN OZ) SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED HALF A DOZEN MORE - DIRTY POMMY BASTARDS.:lol::lol::lol:

That's not even the international rule though. Only nrl uses that rule.

They were doing it all match and last week. The rules must be the same. For the record I hate the rule, but under he rules, the only one the ref got 100% wrong was Inglis' try where it was overturned for obstruction.

The ref was fine. Not our fault the fat Pom forwards were lying around the ruck all day long and doing chicken wings.You do that, you get penalised. Simple.

You have to play it at full speed and slow motion. One fingernail should not equal down with pressure. That is my personal belief and I'm glad that try wasn't awarded.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Nice shot, Evil Homer.

Blatant try.

How hilarious that the Aussie video ref then looked at it at full speed and then pretended he never saw the slow mo which showed a clear try.

Seriously that is 2 dimensions - is his finger on the ball or behind the ball. Who knows? It was a called a no try, as it should have been.

TONY, TONY - metadata these non-team-OZ posters and take action, please.

 

[Matterhorn]

I thought the last 10s of the game cam smith could of made a better effort to play the ball

 

[shinobi]

Sorry england you probably wouldnt have won with perenara as ref either. feel for you guys had the game within your grasps.

Why doesn't he appeal for the try?

Downward pressure doesn't equal downward pressure?

 

[donny donny]

Clutching at straws. I've seen players ground a ball while being unconscious, it doesn't stop it being a try.

If a players celebration has a factor in whether it's a try or not we may have well go the full hog and give bonus points for the amount of flair shown in the celebration.

 

[Iafeta]

In situations like that, players don't always know.

 

[lockyno1]

Downward pressure doesn't equal downward pressure?

One finger is not down with pressure, it is hardly what I call 'pressure on the ball'. This was even less!

 

[Swarzey]

If that's a try? Then this is grounded

End of discussion. Move on.

 

[Perth Red]

Then it should have been a drop out and England's chance to win it. Still just one of some very dubious decisions.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Case closed.

 

[Evil Homer]

Why doesn't he appeal for the try?

Who f**king cares if he appealed or not? The fact is that your Australian video ref has looked at a try, seen a try and then decided to not give it because he knew it would cost Australia the match. There isn't any way of defending it, just accept that it was a blatant act of cheating.

No one doubts that he touched it.
Drop out was never an option for the restart.

Well said. If Hall grounded it, Inglis did first and its a drop out instead. If Inglis didnt ground it, neither did Hall and its the correct outcome.

Either way, its not a try.

"Ben Hunt was there to play in case Daly Cherry-Evans broke down, but he did a great job, it made us smaller in the middle but it gave the skipper a break and that extended his life out there but it is not something I think would work every week.
