How was that NSW penalty awarded?

[Usain Bolt]

watching numerous replays it came off Lewis and went back and Harrison picked it up. Even the NSW commentators said it was play on

One of many attempts Archer & Hayne had to keep the game competitive.

Poor call. Nearly as bad as the two against Watmough, and the Civ dropped ball which Ennis was penalised for.

Drop the ball, get a penalty. Worked for the Dragons on Sunday, and QLD utilised it to perfection tonight.

 

[Lungfish]

That one went our way but the Toads had the rub of the green.Forward passes (one for a try) rubbish penalties and offside all night. Wasted thread ....

Tough call, it went the wrong way but thats footy. Its more disturbing when the video ref gets it wrong.

But whats an Origin without a ref stuff up or 5? Its par for the course!

But why should we have to accept it? Particularly from video referees, who have the benefit of replay. It is criminal IMO.

Too bad you missed Ennis kneeing it out of Civ's arms. Even Ennis knew he'd been caught.

There was a few dud calls, no way there was a penalty against Watmough in the play the ball, and the bloke got dudded 2 mins later for an apparent 'charge down'.

What was he doing rushing at the kicker with his arms in the air if it wasn't a charge down then?

There we'e sh*t calls both ways, meh just you're typical game of RL with these clueless stoodges in charge.

I agree.

He didn't have his arms in the air, he actually turned when the kick came through and it deflected of his shoulder. That's not playing at the ball.

Watch it again - his arm was in the air. Anyway, rushing the kicker, then turning your shoulder to the ball is still considered playing at it.

Watch it again. It hit his hand, which was raised above his head.

The only person who can complain that they clearly weren't playing at the ball when they charged it down was Matt Scott in the first half, he had no f**king idea what was going on when that ball hit him. That was called 6 again, but I didn't hear any outrage from NSW fans at the time about that call.
