Here is the video of ref clearly recalling his decision:
He tackled a player in a try-scoring position who hadn't received the ball. A player who might well have scored had he been allowed to catch the ball. It's been ruled a professional foul all year.A half back in the bin for 10......
Actually watching the ref call straight after the 6 again call, quite clearly he recalled and said last one, said it several times!!
I think Annesley is a bit crap, but he made a good point that, the actual ruling was correct and if Canberra had of gone on to score then it would have been a howler the other way

Sure. At same time Wighton may of pass to Seizer to snaps a field goal or puts a bomb up and Raiders score. Or kicks and finds in goals and a line drop out. Instead they surrender possesion softly thinking they had 5 more tackles.
This is the issue.
Yep, Raiders had all the field position trying to score for 50 min and couldn’t get it done, at one stage against 12 men. I’m not convinced they would have scored even if they got a repeat set.Yep!! And that’s the whole point, sadly everyone is so willing to blame the ref for everything, I hate it!! Yes ref made a poor call at first which disadvantaged the raiders, however f**k it never cost them the game!!
The raiders had plenty of ball to win the game but one call and it cost them the game, what a load of bulllshit. Gee they gave the ball back to the roosters about 5 out, it doesn’t get much better then that!

A field goal would of been enough. It was 8 all.
There is always a few bad calls in games.But rare when teams are level and 8mins to go. Far different is a bad call when a team is winning easily or there is 20 mins to turn it around.
Canberra may not of scored of that last play. They may not of had a repeat set. But there is a chance they would of. That was taken away.
So you saying if the ref didn’t call 6 again, the raiders may have gone for a field goal?
They had several sets on their try line and not once did they set up for one, so I doubt they go for it of a rebound to forward who passes to wighton about 20 from the sideline ...
Who knows what happens.
They certainly don't surrender in the tackle. Prob a bomb goes up. I can't tell result. These are just possibilities.
Surrendering wasn't a possibility. It wouldn't of happend.
Let's not forget that if the Roosters trainer wasn't on the field then the Raiders could have easily been the ones up 6-0.Of course but if you blame that for costing them the game, you also blame the poor middle defence for the first try and weak edge defence for the second try...,oh and JL for not passing too, there is one refs call but several raiders decisions which cost them the game..,just not good enough!!
If anything, they were f**ken stupid for not setting up for a field goal while cooper was in the bin...I reckon that cost them the game more then the refs decision...
Melbourne got a bad call against the Raiders with the ‘out’ call. People seemed to enjoy that. Raiders blew the game, they had plenty of opportunity to score points.A field goal would of been enough. It was 8 all.

The whole day was a shambles, the finals at my local indoor centre was is better organised than yesterday was. The highlight was the stage catching fire when those Banana republic merkins were on and no one noticed till after their super scintillating set.The netball grand final presentation the other week was better organised than this
It was bad sportsmanship, but I wonder how Eels fans would reacted if the shoe was on the other foot ? I know ....Does it say something about the entitled Rorters fans , booing the Clive Churchill winner, really are a bunch of flogs.
Not sure if serious.....BJ pass was also backwards put of the hands.
