Reed and Oates play you don't even score.

This is just silly now.

so section 9.1 of the rules states:
"The ball is in touch when it or a player in contact with it touches the touch line or the ground beyond the touch line or any object on or outside the touch
line "
Wouldn't the ball be dead off the Cows when Eden touches it?

 

[TheFrog]

Seriously unbelievable game, better standard than the GF imo,

About on par with last weekend's game at Penrith.

Eden touched it when JT already had possession of the ball. There is no doubt JT knocked on though.

In the notes directly below that:

Ball Dead 1. Where the ball which is stationary in the field of play or the in-goal area comes in contact with a
player in touch, touch in-goal or over the dead ball line, the ball is deemed to have been made
dead by that player

Got to be a bit of common sense. Otherwise defenders would just touch the ball with there foot in of touch when attackers run at them near the sideline.

I don think the ball was stationary in this instance though.
Interesting the bunker + both commentary teams didn't mention this happening though. Milford touched on it in his interview.

 

[Rhyno]

What do you call the disgrace of the Gillett no try...

Both sides got poor calls

It was the correct call

 

[Kiwi]

Let's say for arguments sake Thurston is awarded the try and the Cowboys win, a fair and honest result considering had Gillett's fair try actually been awarded, like it should have been, Broncos are 26 - 18 up when Cowboys get the penalty with a few minutes left. So a Thurston goal doesn't send it into golden point. People will ignore the fact the Cowboys were in a position to win due to a very very bad call. Again people will ignore that fact and say Cowboys were robbed.

Pretty sure it's not a different rule for a ball that is rolling.

Both appear to have completely missed it. The bunker appears to have realised, hence why their twitter claimed it was for Feldt knocking on after the fact when they cleared it in the actual decision making process.

If we are changing calls then you have to also take off the 2 incorrectly awarded penalties for their first 2 penalty goals, so therefore Broncos are only up by 4.

Why didn't you answer the question by the way? You said Feldt knocked the ball into an opposing player. Can you tell us which one?

 

[TITAN MAN]

Please - how wasn't it a try?

Now now.
Talking sense is just stupid

 

[no name]

Great game.
I thought the Cows got some rough calls early and some rough calls late.
The Gillett try was a try imo.
To sum it up, the dipshits in the middle (and in the box) need to lift their game to keep up with the real entertainment.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Where are Cowboys fans whinging?

Which very bad call? The Gillette one? I would say give it but the ball does move so I can see where the ref is justified.
We weren't robbed. Had plenty of opportunities to put the game away but we didn't.
Happy being able to hang with the Broncos, who have looked downright scary in attack at times.

Then you can technically take Morgans try away for Taumalolo being offside and inside the 10, or the ref could have blown all the legit penalties for offside markers, laying in the play the ball, inside the 10... or better yet Coote going for 10 for his professional foul. There was another that should have gone before him as well. Cowboys gave away deliberate penalties early to prevent tries, Green must be bringing in some Roosters tactics from his days there. The team that deserved to win actually won.

I thought he knocked it into Eden to answer your question.

I really enjoy the excitement that comes with Broncos v Cowboys games these days. I'm happy we got the 2 points, I think we have alot of improvement in us, especially Hunt, Parker, Thaiday, Boyd and Nikorima who have all had slow starts to the year along with Reed who has been hampered by injuries.

 

[Maroon4life]

TLDR - Any call that negatively effected my team was wrong and here is why.


Was a great game played by the two teams who at their best are the top 2 in the comp, some cowboys fans need to re watch the 2015 GF and go to sleep in their commemorative GF shirts to cure the pain it would seem though.

I know it burns but the Broncos bested you.
