Kicked from inside the 40, touch judge had it half a metre inside your 20. Only became an issue when Slater went off at the touchie. Derp.

And i'm saying i think it was a bad call. Video ref agreed and that's why they ruled that way. At least tonight the call was an obviously wrong one. Having a whinge about that call from last week still today is embarrassing.

Spewing this isn't a ch9 game, I wanted to hear Gus tell us how he rated Wighton before anyone else.

Tell you what Billy, when you can find me any other instance in the history of the NRL of a video referee over-ruling a 40/20 that's already been awarded off 1 replay for where the ball supposedly went out, not where the foot was when he kicked it, we'll call it a day on what was a farcical decision. I'm sure you won't be able to though, because like Matt Elliott said (And the journalist at the presser agreed with him), it hasn't.

The call tonight was a disgrace. Melbourne are getting several favourable, farcical decisions in their favour the last fortnight. That one, the 40/20, the gridiron pass to Chambers at the end of the Warriors game. Its fashionable to rule in favour of the favourite for a ref. Its also the safe option. Its therefore the easy option.

Wighton is a star in the making. Reminds me a bit of Kieran Foran in a way, the way he plays above his weight and is better the more he touches the ball....and he can tackle like a beast.
