Raiders take the lead close to halftime pretty soft try but good work

Raiders 16-12 Warriors

 

[skeepe]

This referee has made some absolute clangers both ways. Funny to watch.

How bad are the commentators? Especially Peter Wopati referring to the Warriors as "us" and "we".

Having no video ref makes the game less stressful. The Warriors have been denied a fair try and the Raiders have been given a no try, but it's better the refs make a decision and get it wrong than sending it to the video ref and getting it wrong.

Probably would be a different story if I was watching first grade though.

 

[Scorpio30]

Warriors dudded again.

 

[skeepe]

Bahahahahaha

 

[Scorpio30]

:lol: Nice try for the Raiders

I take the contrary view... I think the wrong decision was made on the Warriors no try, but I think it was the right result. If there was a video ref, I doubt you'd see the try given because of the push in the back of the Raiders player. The Raiders try, if you slow it down, would have been given as a try because he most certainly applied downward pressure after kicking it.

Both gave the right result, IMO. That forward pass call, and some of the knock-ons that have, in fact, gone a mile backwards... I can't explain those.

 

[raiders fan forever]

yeah the ref has made some really awful decisions in this match lets just hope it doesnt continue into the first grade match

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Going to have to agree to disagree on the tries, but some of the calls in general play have been baffling and amusing.

What about the penalties for offside? He calls the penalty after the player has run ten metres but still gives the recieving team an extra ten from where they're tackled. Both teams are getting marched ten for a simple offside. lol.

That's the unfortunate thing about the TC, the refs are even worse than first grade.

Or the way he calls a player out, the player doesn't get involved in the play and then he gives the penalty anyway. :lol:

BTW How good is Josh Dugan? The kid's a freak. Only 17 too.

 

[raiders fan forever]

dugans beating 3-4 tackles every run great talent

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

lol Yeah that confused me for the first couple of minutes. "Number 8 you're offside" even though he's nowhere near the tackle, then we have a penalt for "Number 8" being off side.

Dugan's damn good. Very elusive. Skinner (Prop) is having an indifferent game in the tough conditions. He's impressed me previously though. It's a shame the conditions don't allow more back play. Bristow V Carney (Is he playing?) in the centres would've been a great battle. For the Warriors Matulino continues to look a bit ahead of the grade.

 

[skeepe]

Carney made the first line break in the first half... shame he dropped the ball when he got tackled though. Other than that, he's been defended out of the game. Hopefully he gets more involved in the second half.

 

[raiders fan forever]

sums up the ref lost track of the tackle count..

yeah carney has been dissapointing me today

Raiders in again 26-12 ktc

 

[skeepe]

How the f**k did he score that? Go Dugan.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Ah yes that's right. Having seen much of the centres and wingers unfortunately. That's probably a good thing for the first grade side with Crockett, Shortland, and TBC (possibly Ah Van) in the side. They don't have a lot of strike power out wide.

An word on how Carney and Monaghan pulled up after Friday?

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Warriors are getting kicked out of the game. Raiders are playing a pretty professional game.

I wish McIvor would STFU about that knock on. That sort of knock on happens every single game where it comes off a players chest or knee or goes straight through the hands.
