Herrrr derrrrpy derppppp!!!!

Vaughan is square and the wall is right there the moment the ball was played. The marker obstructs Vaughan, as does Merrin. All this happens before Whitehead has done anything. He had no impact on the play whatsoever.

The marker isn't square.

Negates your entire point.

Move on. Hope you belt the dragons next :)

You have no idea what the dummy half is thinking at any time and if he's thinking of dummying and going himself, he won't because he's noticed that the second marker has ruled that out, so whilst it may not look like he's impacted the play, he may have and so this is why not being square should be the initial penalty.

A smart dummy half would have run at a player not standing square at marker. Seems like the perfect opportunity to do so when you're right in front and looking for points.

But Segeyaro never looked at that option because the illegal wall was already set before the ball bad been played. The markers were the ones who had already had their options shut down.

Penalty Raiders.

You would have to admit that playing for the penalty in this instance would have been a very low percentage play.

Check again pal, Vaughan is completely square.

LOL, wait, you're the idiot that claimed there was no way he could be.

Look, he isn't square. If they were they'd both be in line with the attacker. He isn't. Stop being a salty merkin and move on. Or at least meet me halfway and admit that and I'll accept the wall was a penalty.

Let's take the fact they were not square out of it, I'd have been happy with a penalty against us for the wall.

Your own image proves my point. Even people who give zero f**ks about either side see it the same way I do.

Nobody said Segeyaro was smart.

In any case, Whitehead interfered with nobody. The Panthers should have been penalised three times in the one play for interfering with Vaughan before Whitehead even moved.

Three penalties to the Raiders.

It's become clear that a Raiders player was obstructed so instead of acknowledging it, the people who were wrong about it have to go clutching at straws to find a penalty from the Raiders. Funny stuff.

No, it's about Raiders supporters jumping up and down because an illegal wall was formed, but don't want to know about their markers not lining up square which if it had been correctly penalised, the wall penalty doesn't come into the equation and I'm no Panthers supporter. Your whole argument here is about you thinking that the wall penalty was oh so much more blatant than the not square penalty. Illegal play is illegal play.

You mean the one that's there before the markers did anything?

Have a look at the still shot and the dummy half hasn't even picked the ball up and the markers aren't square and makes what wall has been formed irrelevant as the penalty is at the play the ball. Penalty Panthers.
