That second tap was fine. Funny stuff

Is that you Henry? Please get off leagueunlimited while you are supposed to be helping adjudicate a football game

It's the stupid rule. The ref gave it no try which I thought was dubious. He went upstairs because he didn't know which means his opinion shouldn't matter. But under the rules stupidly it does. Most likely it was a try. But there wasn't conclusive vision to overturn. There's no benefit of the doubt anymore and it'd have been perfect there.

I think the onus should be on the ref in the quick tap... If they aren't onside, it is an infringement and a scrum should pack.

 

[Didgi]

A player was in front of the line, right decision.

The video ref one earlier was hilarious though.

Hopoate lol I thought he got the 2nd attempt right?

12 was a half metre or so offside on the right. Correct call

 

[eagles4eva]

Ouch

 

[Fazz_138]

Lol. Outgrubbed Gal. Up your game, son.

 

[Iafeta]

Even if there was a bloke offside, no refs have the bottle to allow quick taps. It's ridiculous. Players barely try anymore because they know the ref usually for no reason will stop it

 

[Diesel]

Beau & Gordon need to practice catching the ball on the full

 

[BranVan3000]

Gallen practicing his choking already? Origin is in two weeks

 

[chrisD]

Parra are fun to watch.

 

[soc123_au]

Pretty harsh on the Sharks there.

Admittedly watching it live I thought he was held up, even off the first replay you couldn't see anything conclusive.. But that second video clearly showed the ball flat on the ground, if that wasn't enough evidence to overturn a decision then they might as well scrap this whole new system. because it isn't working.

 

[Diesel]

Lol Sharks

 

[chrisD]

Being too pretty there.

The new system is seriously flawed. It should be benefit of the doubt all day long in that case. It's pathetic because I reckon Archer can legitimately now defend what we all think is likely a wrong decision.

Gallen can take the Gold logie for his awesome dive, I thought he was gone..

 

[Lemon Squash]

Nathan Peats is no superstar, but jeez for a little bloke he is as tough and competitive as they come... Has such a great tackling technique, he cuts props in half like peanut butter sambos.

 

[God-King Dean]

Alexander is almost as bad as Braybook - only focuses on the negatives.
