Yes he was meant to run along the sideline with the Fox cameraman just so poor Nightingale and Vidot could attempt to tackle him. Clutching at straws much Timmah.

But no he intentionally impeded - no he wasn't supporting the play. You sound like f**king Harrigan justifying the Inglis try in SOO1.
I'm not trying to justify anything you f**king moron, read my posts in full and you'll find I have no problem with the try at all, and that Vidot is to blame for what happened, nobody else. I just have a hard time believing that people believe Lee's running line was to do anything else but run some interference on the chasers. If he wasn't, Vidot wouldn't have pushed him in the first place.

Just for reference again, in super big writing so you don't miss it....

it was a f**king try every day of the week.

All the talk about the Robinson / Lee try is silly.

It was a fair try and if that was my team and the winger didn't do the same thing I would have been p*ssed at him.
It was smart by Lee.
Exactly my point, in hindsight it was smart, and a stupid move from Vidot. I just :lol: at people who think Lee was "solely running in support".

Absolutely nothing wrong with what Lee did in that try.
Given how it turned out, you're right. Vidot was the culprit.

Poor Timwah, his team lost to us yet again and now he's having a bigger sook than Jamie Soward.
My team hasn't played Canberra since Round 26 last year.

Which we won, mind you.

ohh but tim tam, we all know since you shacked up with the girly you've become a complete closet saints fan.

your team played us last night, and got beat as they have done in a very strange and outright creepy 12 year period of hoodoo


But yes, Lee was running interference in the same way big mal did in the 94 kangaroo tour, in that famous try from the stuart line break

he's clear intent was to support the ball carrier, he positoned himself on the inside in order to be available to collect a ball should robinson had needed him. That's it, if a bloke the size of Edrick wanted to obstruct Vidot, he'd have obstructed him into the 5th row and kept his feet to continue to support

What Lee was intending to do is irrelevant.

He is allowed to support the ball carrier and he did, without pushing anyone over. Vidot initiated the contact and it cannot be an obstruction.

Anyone who thinks it is a try needs a copy of Rugby League for dummies.

I'm not going to suggest for a second it wasn't a try, nor that Vidot's not a moron for that push.

But to suggest Lee was doing anything other than getting in the way of the two players coming across is moronic. He knew he was no longer required as a support runner and deliberately ran into the path of defenders.

Had Vidot not been a dope and pushed him, there might have been a case for obstruction on Nightingale. The situation is ultimately Vidot's fault but there's no way Lee didn't attempt to run interference there.

Okay here is your whole post and you are whinging like a bitch. If Vidot didn't push Lee it still would have been a try. Like I said did you expect Lee to just stop supporting and hang out on the halfway line or continue supporting Robinson while being out of the field of play. Every single winger in the competition would have done the same thing. He was running out of room so came back inside. Pretty simple to comprehend really.

other than where he ran, to continue supporting the ball player, where would you have liked Edrick Lee to run, Timmah?

Pretty funny to see little softc*ck raiders spooners in here dribbling in between wanking over the big mal poster on his roof. a true mental heavyweight

do you think Edrick Lee intentionally obstructed dragons players in the chase hutty?

As much as id like to whinge about the refs/video refs we just got outplayed in the key moments, raiders were fantastic and we couldnt seal the result

Refs decide too many results in the NRL these days. This play was the Dragons last possession before Canberra scored the winning try. If the ref penalises the Raiders for being off side (Dragons were penalised for offside on the last tackle earlier in the game) on this play, it's game over. Penalties were 5-1 to Canberra after the Raiders conceded 44 penalties in their last 6 games.

The Dragons could won the penalty count 20-0 and dominated possession 80-20 and field position by a similar margin and they still would have found some way to lose.
