'10 | R5 | Fri | Dragons 34-16 Broncos | WIN

[skeepe]

The refereeing has been atrocious. That was a ridiculous no try. Broncos were rewarded for a bad read.

 

[Big Pete]

and the Dragons score.

Hopefully it'll stop Gus from chucking a sook.

Would never of come about if the refs remembered you aren't allowed to take a player off his feet and drag them back.

maybe he has a right too because referees are farked

Don't fall into the trap of believing everything that that muppet Gould tells you. The decision was remarkably obvious given the way the rules are. There was no depth between the lead decoy and the runner who received it behind him. It's a clear case of obstruction the way the rules are written and interpreted.

I don't watch the game to hear a grown man weep.

His feet were pretty much dragging on the ground. The other broncos players should have helped more. And the tackle wasn't completed so there was nothing wrong with it. Correct call.

 

[Iafeta]

It's pitiful. It's agenda laiden crap about a bloke who refuses to acknowledge the rules of the game.

 

[Danish]

Agreed. The moment a defender can't see the ball runner because he is behind his running behind a decoy runner, the attack gains unfair advantage

 

[user_nat]

Was Hornby attacking Thaidays arm..?

 

[Rodent]

They change the obstruction rule every year because the refs can't use discretion effectively to adjudicate if there has or has not been an obstruction. For almost all of the last 30 years that would have been given a try.

 

[Danish]

2 forward passes in that play. Youngs a good metre forward from dummy half

Doesn't matter as soon as his feet in the air the tackle is made.

Wrong. Completely and utterly wrong. It's been in place since at least 2007 when Manly were denied in Auckland for the same thing.

 

[Big Pete]

Was Hornby attacking Thaidays arm..?

Looked like he was giving a kung-fu workshop.

 

[That Was SOFT]

Broncos Defense is soft as butter

Look the way the rules are written I agree, but in all honesty the way the law has been interpreted the last few years, what's written in the rule book doesn't necessarily matter.

yea what was the karate chopping .?? Soward does the kung fu kicking and hornby does the karate chopping . martial art dragon halves .

 

[Big Pete]

The better team is in-front at half time, but aside from just a few lapses in defence I must say I'm fairly happy with the boys.

 

[fourplay]

That last try to Morris was Lockyer's fault not Copleys and Beales.

Darius Boyd simply got on the outside of Lockyer ran around him to make the break.

Gould blames Beale and Copley for staying on their man though and says it's their defensive troubles. They marked up and they showed confidence in Lockyer to make a tackle which he didn't.

Must not criticise the golden child and the inspirational leader of the free world though.
