08 :: R8 Sat :: Panthers 18 Eels 26 @ CUA

I think most of the penrith fans think the match wasn't decided by the players on the field, but by the officials.

 

[DogEEL]

the ball never touched the ground with petero. so it wasn't a double movement.

penrith were rorted!!! & that's coming from a parra fan.

& the ref deserved to get sh*t trown at him! too bad it wasn't a full can of coke or something hard.

the funny thing was when i saw the ref, i yelled throw something at the f**kwit. & he copped something to the head.

 

[pantherz9103]

I DON'T condone bottles being thrown, vicious name calling might have sufficed. But it shouldn't get physical as much as metaphorically I'd like to strangle Ben Cummins.

Imagine the whinging if the video ref disallowed the try from Petro, the forum would be in meltdown as opposed to being on the verge of one. :crazy:

1. Refs call the ref must have seen the ball being held up at the end...

2. Who knows on that call but where were the penalties for penrith offside all night? and running up before the balls been played??

3.Maybe Finch's arm holding the ball didnt touch the ground ala panthers first try...

4. No he didn't Wesser let go watch the replay again and again and again also go back t your first try...

1. Maybe he did, but if there was enough doubt in his mind, and the video was inconclusive, benefit of the doubt should go to the attacking team.
2. Yes Penrith were offside quite a bit, but Parra were also offside quite a lot during the game.
3. Maybe, it would have been worth checking on the video
4. I watched it a couple of times and I thought he had at least a finger tip on him the whole time

The Parra forum would be far worse if the roles were reversed tonight.

Real classy, give yourself a upper cut.

Not really would be how crap [insert player name] was, same as every other loss. ;-)

 

[Penance]

I'm pretty sure that it is Souths who are the joke.

f**k.. mad come back *claps*

Its the arm carrying the ball which is the rule.. and it did touch the ground..

How were they rorted?? He gave the panthers alot of room in the first half and didnt blow an offside penalty against them at all even after the eels made a break and they wernt back the 10...

1 and 3 and 4 would all come under the same rule then if Petro's is a try you have to give Wellers try cos esser's arm did look like it came off him.. and the ref was right infront of Finch and called play on...

Even the commentators were saying how they couldnt understand why penrith didnt get a few against them for offside...

 

[pantherz9103]

While the officiating was the proverbial shower of sh*te, Blair and Sammut have plenty of work to do on their playmaking under pressure. I knew we wouldn't be coming back in that situation. The youngsters were too rattled by the Eels onslaught. We dropped our heads after those bad decisions, unfortunately one of the problems of having inexperienced players in key positions.

 

[hineyrulz]

The ref was sh*t for both sides, some of those penalty's he blew were laughable.

What are you on about, the ball didn't touch the ground in Petero's try, and if you think Finch wasn't tackled you're kidding. The video ref wasn't even consulted for that one. And how Smith was a held up call rather than BOTD try I'll never know. Penrith was robbed!!!

Its the ARM carrying the ball that has to touch the ground not the ball...


The Ref was standing infront of Finch when he called play on maybe The Ball didnt touch the ground :sarcasm:..


Smith's Try could have been BOTD but the ref most probably told the video ref that he thinks its held up but just check to see if there is any evidence of the ball touching the ground..

Now if you ask Finch monday morning for his ruling i bet its bout the same as that...

 

[Cletus]

Lol, I'm sure Finchy thought it was a try. I just couldn't believe how unlucky Penrith were, they just seem to find some way to lose.

 

[Y2Eel]

I mean Robert Finch ref boss...

Also i hope they have video evidence of the dicks throwing stuff at Ben Cummings and ban them for life..

 

[murraymob]

Anyone who thinks the ref will be dropped a kidding them selfs. Penrith cops this type of crap every week.Both supporters are asking what happened to benifit of doubt.The 10 meter rule was missing both sides all game.This ref is not first grade

Also, with the Finch pass, I thought momentum had stopped, so therefore isn't the tackle complete even if the ball had not touched the ground? I think the offical rule is something like, once all foward momentum has ceased, the tackle is complete.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

How can Petero's try be a try and Orford's last week not? They were exactly the same.

This is really starting to annoy me; the refs are just at such low quality.
