ffs... how can he not have momentum there.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

I understand Archer's call... in that once the video ref told him it was stripped it's now just a decision on whether the player had downward pressure on it... I don't though get the refs call, call. You can't call that a strip, the blokes making a fair dinkum tackle. He's also I don't think fully sighted of the ball. You can tell a strip, the bloke intentionally goes for it, I don't think thats a strip for your life - poor ball control, should have been no try.

Exactly. I hate how teams get rewarded for poor ball security. And that is the worse sort of reward; 6 points. The refs should use common sense. Archer has absolutely no common sense. Anyone with common sense would have disallowed that try.

oh come on this is becoming a joke

 

[skeepe]

f**k off. Another terrible decision. Clearly had momentum.

 

[God-King Dean]

He was still f**king moving. Why play in slo-mo?

f**k the Knights.

 

[Mr. Snrub]

It must suck being a sharks fan and that's a big thing coming from a raiders fan haha.

 

[thommo4pm]

He bounced up in the tackle there, he should be allowed to reach out....if he hadn't bounced and completely stopped then I would agree. That was momentum, it should have been a try.

 

[DC_fan]

Double movement no try

 

[blaza88z]

they didn't even look twice at it, it was like they said "ok cronulla may score here, NO TRY"

 

[innsaneink]

LOL....double movement
Archer likely to be sacked.

[bileduct]

Yeah, I thought he clearly had momentum there too.

 

[skeepe]

Sharks have a lead of 12-0 if this game is refereed fairly.

 

[roboshark]

It's quite obvious that everything that can be done to ensure we don't survive will be done

 

[DJShaksta]

Well EVERYBODY needs to understand there is nothing in the rules stating that you have to have control of the ball when forcing it. That is an imaginary rule that the tv comentators invented.

Tony Archer explained the reason it was awarded and under his interpretation he is correct.

Tony archer rewarded sh1t ball security with a try. Every man and his dog knew that was no try.

 

[Big Pete]

Cronulla have nothing.

 

[Alex28]

He grounded the ball short of the line, then lifted his arms and reached out for the line when the rest of his body stopped moving forward.

Of course he had momentum.

The Knights defence this year is a million times better than anything we have seen in the last decade.

 

[thommo4pm]

If it wasn't already gone, the game is now.

 

[bileduct]

It's quite obvious that everything that can be done to ensure we don't survive will be done

Including from within, it seems.

How many tries have you guys bombed today?

 

[rygrco]

The rules need to allow the refs to make decisions based on common sense, otherwise we see farces like this game.

 

[Beachy Eagle]

Geez i dont particularly like either side, but WOW ther has been some decisions in this game... and the Sau try unbelievable!!!!!!!
