[I Bleed Maroon]

He is no a debutant, although I wouldn't expect you of all people to have ever heard of him

He's a no name Rooster, of course I don't know who he is :lol:

 

[Danish]

I'd have to re-watch it, but I thought he was finding his feet before Hastings got a hand to him.

He was trying to get up, but he still have both elbows AND the ball in contact with the ground.

He was also downed by contact, which should count for something. Its not like he was diving on a loose ball or something like that

 

[Red Bear]

I'd have to re-watch it, but I thought he was finding his feet before Hastings got a hand to him.

That was the explanation from the refs. Went to ground untouched then as he was getting up (ball off the ground, live again) was when the hand got on him and so he never was held.

 

[skeepe]

From the rule book:

Hand on player already grounded
(d) when he is lying on the ground and an opponent places a hand on him.

Is it honestly that f**king hard for refs to apply such a basic thing?

That's exactly what they used to justify denying Croker's try. The ref's boss backed up that call, so he'll have to confirm an error with this one you would think.

Depends on what is meant by "lying".

 

[Meth]

Youre wrong.

oh ok?.well that settles it then :roll:

 

[Snappy]

After watching the extra replays, I agree with you.

 

[DiegoNT]

There was no hand on him until he'd resumed his progress, in other words he was never tackled.

How I saw it, not enough evidence to overturn the on field ruling

 

[Unscrupulous]

Yes there was.

 

[Rhyno]

Good run

 

[skeepe]

A wrong call one week doesn't necessitate a wrong call the next

But Archer said it was the correct call.

 

[Dutchy]

Tommy must be loving the penalty count :lol:

 

[Son of Minto]

Good effort to score that

 

[chrisD]

Top try.

 

[Meth]

Great run from Taukeiaho to get the Roosters up there.

 

[typicalfan]

Nice try, poor defense Warriors.

 

[typicalfan]

Hastings has outplayed Maloney.

 

[Meth]

But Archer said it was the correct call.

meh.

To be honest, I haven't seen it. I just think that one (tonight) was a try.

 

[Meth]

Roosters right back in this now.

 

[Unscrupulous]

Good effort to score that
