Was worth it just to see this Dragon Slayer bloke's meltdown hahaha
We all know a touchie stuffing up in a game his team is not playing in and has absolutely no bearing on his team's success is not the reason for the meltdown.... he's pissed at the Dragons for offloading Dugan to the Sharks and this is how he's coping.

It plays out like the Plays of the Month on 'Wired World of Sports' with John McEnroe.

The ball was out by 6 inches. Can't you people see anything? The ball was out. Jesus Christ I have had it with you jerks screwing everything.

To be fair though, Penrith could have kicked off deep and the whole thing wouldn't have happened. Instead, they stuck to the game plan of short kick-off's to try to dominate possession.

Why didn't the ref blow time off, turn to face the big screen and deliberate with the other officials until a replay came up, then act like he knew it was no try all along!

It was actually freakin awesome defence by Whare, unrewarded.
Not sure who it is actually but he has shown how to stop the guys who jump high for the corner, go for the wrists.

It is sensational defence. The attacker had the right aim, the defender stopped it. Put that in a textbook.

The Nines was already ruined long before this happened.

Not sure what Voss expected Annesley to say about it... This is what you get when there's no video ref. On field refs are going to make mistakes from time to time when they aren't in a good position to make a ruling or their vision is blocked - as was the case here.

To be fair the view of the touch judge was clearly obscured as shown in that image. But it should have been fairly obvious to the other officials who I assume had a better view.
Dude the other two refs were almost halfway across the field.

Graham Annersley speaking on @FOXNRL says that the decision from Ben Cummins to award the Cody Ramsey try was "Disappointing and all 3 match officials in question should have got it correct"



That’s a bit harsh on the touchie on the far side...

There’s 5 officials in total.
He’s talking about the touchie, in goal judge and ref who were in charge of making the call.
