Think it's to do with discretion, a player being in a better position to decide whether or not defenders were impeded or some crap.

But as gus said, they have to work from a checklist and aren't allowed discretion away from that checklist which makes being an ex player irrelevant.

 

[BunniesMan]

What f**king ridiculous logic. So if the Parra player drops it they're better off. That is f**ked in the head.

 

[BigRedV]

should be penalty try!

Nah, new 40/20 rule and 2nd new rule is not just Melb and slater that can kick players, Manly can too

 

[Didgi]

Should've been an 8 point try, surely.

 

[kbw]

Isn't that supposed to be an 8 point try?

Thats what I am thinking as well

 

[insert.pause]

Notice how manly fall apart when they can't wrestle the f**k outta a team.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

If Parra win this, Toovey is going to explode

 

[BunniesMan]

BOOM. all the momentum with Parra. Gee they're capable of anything on their day. Manly looks to have no answers.

 

[DOGSvsEELS]

junior paulo is a beast!

 

[Puntastic]

So, not scoring was in their best interests? If that's a penalty, why not an 8 point try?

 

[insert.pause]

Coach killer there!

 

[BunniesMan]

"top of the table clash" is Gus senile?

And what a f**king shithouse play the ball. Should be dropped for next week. that is disgusting

And yet, we will see just as many tries like that given as are disallowed. So discretion is involved in some part, and it's what leads to inconsistent calls, which is why so many people are angry about that call. We see so many different interpretations it's hard to know what is or isn't a try now.

 

[Snappy]

I thought an 8 point try was only for a foul act after a try had been scored, not trying to prevent one

 

[Mr Angry]

Go the team playing Manly!

Yep it's a lottery.
