Lol@common sense. Code for "well I think so, and presume that everyone else agrees with me". Thankfully he NRL has decided to make decisions based on evidence rather than nebulous ideas of "common sense".

Just saw it on the TV. The touchie had the best f**king seat in the house and called it no try, and no video came even close to proving him wrong

the carry on is absurd

haha oh please, you would be carrying on like a pork chop if it was against the Raiders. One of the worst decisions of the year. It was clearly a try.

The call went upstairs, they didnt have enough certainty to overturn.

Two years ago, that would've been awarded BotD

Just saw the no-try too. Wow...just wow.
Not saying Raiders didn't deserve the win but that's a shocking call.

We have these f**king calls go against every f**king week, for once the referee's stuck to the rule book and didnt over turn a try without evidence

The touchie had the best view in the house, he couldnt have got a better view of it, and he said no try
nothing on video proved him otherwise.

end of.

Ok, now I've had a look at the Waqa no-try, and I can't figure it at all. How is it physically possible to move in the way Waqa did and go touch in-goal without being on or over the line at some point? Fair enogh if the ref and touchie thought he was short and went into touch, as there was no vision to the contrary. But the 20m restart indicates otherwise.

No f**king idea how it was disallowed. Not a single thing happened in the replay to suggest it was a no try and why the video referee didn't overturn it I'll never know. It's a shame a second game has been decided purely on the final call this weekend and honestly, I've lost track how many thus far this year.

However, hats off to the Raiders. Huge improvement from last week's effort to keep in the fight against the Storm and superb stuff from Vaughan at the death to seal it. Storm only have themselves to blame given he just danced past half the bloody team. My tipping continues to fall to shit.

I love how the most inept official in rugby league, the touch judge, who only just edges out the video refs themselves mind you, is suddenly a beacon of accuracy and correctness when it suits your agenda.

The current system of relying on the referees live call is so dumb. Isn't the point of going to the video ref to rule on situations where the on-field officials have nfi? :lol:

Seriously - the storm have a right to take this as an official complaint to headquarters, and someone needs to lose their job, not just for 1 f**king week, it needs to be for 10 matches at least or some punishment that is severe. Absolutely atroshsis.
