How is that different to the first one? I think it is an obstruction, but so was the other one.

For those complaing about Finucane not getting the bin, I decided to go back and double check. Penalty and tap taken on about the 27m mark, the tackle happened on the 17m mark.
So Luke got his 10m and was fair game, there wasn't much in it though. Hopefully they will replay later as well.

Absolute, 100% genuine bullshit.

So I like that the Warriors player who gets obstructed still makes an effort. Most players just stick their hands in the air and have a cry.

Lewis Brown was the same on Norman's no try against Parra. It is refreshing to see players not just start appealing for penalties.

Other than some SJ ad-lib, we have absolutely nothing tonight
A real reminder of where we are at as a team

The cross eye merkin cleared the first one when it was exactly the same obstruction. Warriors saved by the Melbourne storm player foot

That's a load of bull, I also watched it again and he tapped it 25m out and contact was made by Figurine on the 20m mark.

He tapped it right at the tip of the arrow on the 30m signage and was tackled in line with the 20m arrow. With the tackle finishing nearly 2 metres past it.

Where Finucane starts to attempt to make a tackle from is irrelevant, once the ball is advanced 10 metres all players are onside. Yes Finucane starts on the 20 but Luke is over a metre past the 20 when contact is made. As I said it was very close, definitely could have been a bin but I'll forgive the refs for a snap decision on something so close.
