Clearly you don't remember the incident. It was from a kick. Gidley jumped for it, fumbled it, and a retreating player who was about 10 metres in front picked it up.

Also don't take the Lord's name in vain, it's Easter.

Bless me Father ;-)

The Warriors got more, and the Knights would've been up by 20? You're kidding yourself, especially if you're going to make up bad calls to justify it. You make it sound like the Knights played like champs.

Errors - Knights 15 Warriors 9
Completion Rates - Knights 68% Warriors 78%
Line Breaks - Knights 4 Warriors 6
Missed Tackles - Knights 35 Warriors 28

That doesn't include the Gidley dropped bomb a metre out from his line where it goes forward to a Knights player and the ref calls play on

Or the following bomb which is again knocked on by a Knights player but is called a knock on against the Warriors

The Jesse Royal strip which could very easily of been a penalty.

The Knights got three tries where the bounce of the ball went in their favour, that sort of thing happens, but they certainly weren't the 20 point world beaters you want to make them out to be yesterday.

Both teams were largely inept, both teams were well below there best. One of those games where neither team deserved to win but there had to be a winner and congratulations to the Knights.

I loved the commentary on the Royal strip. "The player is entitled to just have his *ripping motion of hand* hand in there."

I still don't get the first knock on you refer to either. IT was fairly clear cut a Knights knock on, and players offside.

I'm amazed Knights fans are even debating the issues. If I was them, I'd curl up in a little hole, accept you got the two points and let it down a peaceful death. But lol @ winning by 20 points. 'Sif. Lol @ good quality game. Both teams were shyte. They'd get mauled by 20 points right now if they were playing St George. Oh wait, Newcastle are next week I think....

Maybe I was exagerating but you Warriors fans can relate, even if the teams were sh*t the game was still good because it was close it was certainly exciting at the ground
We'll beat the Dragons on Saturday it's about time for a Soward choke, this time last year Mullen made Prince his bitch he'll do it again only to a sh*tter player

Bias goes both way bud. I know it hurts but it's true. It's very easy to be 'amazed' that we're debating the issues. I'm sure a lot of Knights fans on here are 'amazed' at your view of the entire game too.

None of us are amazed at Skeepe however. That is per usual.

Oh, and I expect to lose against the Dragons.

Also - I've seen a few highlights of the game now and am happy to agree that McKinnon was onside... just, hehe.

Sure, a good game for the finale at the ground (pity I didn't make the trip up... damn Easter), but I think both teams will admit that they're grateful there's a long way to go in the season to make improvements. Too many basic errors.

Oh I see. We're all comedians here. We know we'll more than likely get beaten by the Dragons, so I'm not too sure exactly what your point is.

1. Because he didn't ground it properly. His hands passed over the ball.
2. I agree. It should clearly have been No Try.

:lol: You really are delusional.

 

[macavity]

watching the replay atm and just saw the McKinnon try - slowed it down on IQ. he was at least 1/2 metre infront of the kicker.

5-0 penalty count to the wuzzies in the second half - and you are whinging about the ref... :lol:

 

[Iafeta]

Your own clubmate Apey reviewed it. He was onside. Move on.

Apey was wrong.

oh look, McKinnon just did a head-high on De Gois (forced him off) with no penalty.

You got 5-0 penalties in the second half and we still won.

move on... ;-)

 

[VictorTheViking]

LOL @ Timmah

RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!!!!!

 

[Joker's Wild]

Sounds like the only thing that changed was they swapped refs at halftime. Interesting. Was it Lyons or Badger blowing all the penalties?

Do you actually know how the 2 ref system works? They dont swap at 1/2 time champ :lol:

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

When Mad Dog stole the ball away after a Warriors error, I couldn't believe that somehow turned into a penalty to the Warriors. Bang bang bang, three penalties in a row and they all looked dubious.

The Knights knocked the ball on, it rolled 7 or 8 metres downfield, Simon Mannering picked it up and threw a horrible pass and MacDougall intercepted. Given that the Warriors never even made up that 7 or 8 metres of field position to where the knock-on was made, it was no advantage, scrum Warriors.

It was a very straightforward ruling and it was knock-on, not penalty. As I say, when you're at the game, you tend to lose your head and not even really realise what's going on.

There was no high shot. Nothing in it.

You have got to be deadset kidding me :crazy:

I think it's ridiculous their new interpretation of taking the advantage though. It's obvious that that is how they will rule on it consistently but imo as soon as you've thrown a pass I reckon you should be classed to have taken the advantage - sh*t pass or not. Unfortunately, that's not how they rule on it. If it had been the other way around I'd stand by this. Sometimes I wonder where they will draw the line for not taking the 'advantage'.

As I say, when you support either team, you tend to lose your head and not even really realise what's going on. If you think bias and views are one dimensional, you need your head thoroughly checked. Yes - I have seen a replay of the game. The only thing I have changed my view on since being at the game was the offside.
