The on-field ref can still call on the video ref to double check an incident. Which is exactly what happened. If you weren't so desperately trying to cling on to the belief that you were robbed in order to ease the pain just that little bit, you would be aware of this.

Just like he was asked to look at the elbow by Burgess on BMoz in the first half.

Technically they're both penalties, but they were both missed

 

[Jason Maher]

Cry more. It wasn't missed. The ref stopped play and asked the video ref to check it.

 

[Jason Maher]

Just watching it again now. Lol@Rabs, Sterlo, Gus, and Joey not knowing the rules.

 

[Cammo]

Then why do you still watch it?

I won't after today

 

[T.S Quint]

I won't after today

Ah, I see.

So your team lost and all of a sudden it's become a "pussies game".
If the Dogs won it would still be a tough sport, right?

To be fair I'd be surprised if many people knew that rule.... I certainly didn't.

You'd like to think at least one of the "experts" knew though

 

[Card Shark]

Credit to refs for knowing it.

Nope, for the first time in years I didn't get membership and season tickets this year as I was disappointed in the way the game was going.

Tonight just reinforced my decision that the game has lost what made it great in the past. I don't like what it has become so I will leave it to those who do and move on to something else

 

[T.S Quint]

Which is why they should refrain from calling it wrong in case they end up looking like idiots.
Which is what happened.

It would be worth having someone in the commentary box who is well-versed in the rule book. Isn't David Middleton normally in the box? I would think he'd have the knowledge about these things.

 

[Jason Maher]

Good on you cammo. f**k off. We don't need pissweak fans like you anyway.

 

[Dogs Of War]

They did ask someone to check the rules. It's just one of those that you could watch 20yrs of footy and never see. Well I hadn't until today and I've been watching for over 30yrs.

 

[rabbitohs95]

So the Dogs lose the Grand Final and cop it sweet, then 6 months later lose a regular season game and go bananas? That'll do me.

Common sense happened. Feeling for the refs atm, today they actually went really well and nothing they ruled was incorrect. Some people just don't understand that attacking the legs (whether there was intent or not) is against the rules. Constant back chatting and having a go at the ref is against the rules. It's simple.

It's not just rugby league that suffers, it's most things in life.

Nothing is simple anymore.

Aren't they supposed to be experts though?

With the confusion about the penalty goal being right in front, fair enough, but the logic to understand why Graham's challenge was penalised is really not that hard. Virtually everyone in that moment- and a lot of people after- overlooked the fact that with their logic, high tackles shouldn't be penalised because they're accidental.

 

[Cammo]

Good on you cammo. f**k off. We don't need pissweak fans like you anyway.

Don't worry sweetness, my wife keeps me from being pissweak each night. She is far more aggressive than what we see on the rugby league field these days

 

[saint.nick]

sounds like an abusive husband to me

Sounds like you have a sore Steve Anoos

haha she would destroy anyone on this forum with her nagging if she got the chance. Just be thankful she hates football

What kick to the face & re: Knee if you don't want to get burnt don't play with matches (or in your case take up watching Basketball!)

he got kicked in the face whilst putting the ball down. you are not allowed to strike at the ball with your boot when the ball is being put down. he should be suspended for that, and is lucky he wasn't sent off. i'm not sure what you are trying to say to him with the rest of your post. injuries happen, but if they are a result of foul play, then it should be penalised. you saying otherwise doesn't make you tough. tryharder.
