Happens every match, without getting checked though.

Just depends on what colour jersey you wear.

When it does happen nearly every match it is well over the line, not so close that I could live with either decision.

LOL@cowboys fans. Yes the first try should have been given but that was definitely worth a second look and the previous no try was definitely a no try. Stop with your world is against us attitude.

This so much, first try should of been given and has been the only real poor call. The way some are acting is as if the ref is automatically calling any Cowboys try no try, don't check penalty to the Storm.

Scott, Taumalolo and Bolton have all hit 100m already, boss efforts.

what happens when he actually runs straight and hard instead of stepping for the sake of stepping. Wondered at pre season when they are doing shuttle runs does he still zig zag his way there with space infront of him?

Very 1 sided refereeing performance, only thing saving a total blowout is they are actually awarding tries fairly and not just giving them to the Cowboys when they knock on

If you think Wright knocked on for the first try you're geniused.

100 more tackles made, Cowcheats should be up by 30. Especially with the assistance they're getting from the referees.

they are interviewing someone who can string sentences together. Billy still sounds like a jockey though

Bullshit, he called try on that one, and at least one or two of the other ones, and that one and it's been at least 3/4 of the 5.

Watch it again mate, at least 1 or two is a big difference when your are only talking about 4 try attempts (which I was at the time as the 5th try attempt hadn't happened).

Until then he had only called try once.

The current video ref system is just silly. The whole point of going to the video ref is because the on-field refs don't know what happened. It makes no sense to then have the on-field refs play to always (as opposed to sometimes with the old ref's call) have a large influence on the decision. Either go back to the old BOTD system or get rid of this nonsensical one.

All tries on the back of storm penalties. But for silly penalties the storm could be in the game.

yeah like u can help it when the refs are looking for any reason to give a penalty like if u tackle someone legally and they rub their neck

Refcam is one of the stupidest "innovations" Fox Sports has had. Right up with there as corner post cam for uselessness.

Like the effort from the Storm atm. Cameron Smith is giving it everything what a legend.
Melbourne not getting the same ruck infringement penalties that Cowboys are getting but I guess you get that away from home.

this

the rugby ones are ok because it is cool seeing the scrums pack that closely but they don't serve a purpose and is a few grand that could have been sent elsewhere
