Hayne could be a bit more professional in talking to the ref. Sounds like the biggest whinger there.

Ref could be more professional by not giving awful penalties

What are you people on about? If that's not an 8 point try what's the point of the rule. As blatant as it gets. A high tackle is a high tackle. And he wasn't "falling" into it, is he not allowed to go down to try and score the bloody try?

Yep that confirms it. Poor call it was then.

 

[Danish]

If that happened in general play then would anyone argue that it shouldn't be penalised?

You can't just go ignoring high tackles - even accidental ones - just because it happens to be over the try line. We let the high tackle rule get this strict so no point sooking now that it leads to 8 points tries

I seen plenty of blood in that try

If our annual win gets taken away from us because of that bullshit call I'm going to be so f**king pissed off.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Damn we didn't need that nonsense just before half time

 

[chrisD]

It was Johnson's ball and Tonga rushing in that created that try, Tomkins just had to catch it and he was on the outside.

 

[kia ora storm]

Ref called it correctly....not sure if the Eels can continue the intensity in the second half.

 

[snogard6]

What happened to the rule when the clock stops in the last five minutes of each half after a conversion? It should have stopped after Johnson took conversion ( not the penalty ). But no the clock kept on ticking for nearly 2 mins then no kick off. WTF

How does a bloke who can't stand pass a concussion test?

If it happened in general play and it looked like a try would be scored, the referee would let play continue and blow a penalty if they didn 't score (no advantage). But no penalty would be blown if the try was scored as that would be advantage played.

The 8 point try for mine is supposed to be for illegal tackles AFTER a try is scored.

 

[Bazal]

Pathetic 8 point try, not really surprised given the quality of the officials involved.

 

[Vic Mackey]

That's an 8 point try every day if the week, doesn't matter if it's accidental or on purpose

Anyways I laugh every time it happens against parra after Luke Burt's oscar to get himself one against Bryce Gibbs in 2009, eat a dick parra

 

[Parramatta1947]

Terrible calls all through this game - at least we know the officials haven't changed

Warriors shouldn't be so close but they will just roll on from here for a comfortable win

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

13 penalties in the first half. Ugh, shut up refs.

Thought it was just the 2nd half that's happening.

 

[Mixmasterreece]

How rubbish is this turf?? Being ripped up in huge chunks

 

[whall15]

Please win. Come on.

Exactly right. But your logic isn't welcome in this thread.

 

[Meth]

Did the ref say that 8 point try's are for illegalities committed when the player is in the act of scoring?
