Wow robbery here

 

[Jordan]

The refs ruined this game.

 

[MacDougall]

Fai Fai Loa took a risk, backed himself and pulled off a great play and was totally f**king dudded.

 

[MacDougall]

Titans will put the Raiders to the sword I reckon. Just to nicely round out the day.

 

[skeepe]

Maxwell was right there. He had one job. It's downright scary that they still trust him with a whistle, where he has to keep his eye on a million different things.

 

[Wizardman]

Even though Kalifi was dudded by the refs, that play from Loa is probably the dumbest play I'll see all year. Why risk a certain six points for seven points?

 

[Card Shark]

A risk he didn't have to take. What was the value in 1 extra point in that situation.

He brought the refs into it & he paid the price.

No doubt a try & if it's awarded they probably win.

Edit: if he puts it down outside the bonus area, they probably still win.

 

[GongPanther]

The video ref would have got it wrong anyway

On the contrary.The refs ruled a no-try to further their validation for video refs so as to keep the pressure off them.

No video refs in the season proper,then you have refs put in positions that they find too hard to handle.

 

[skeepe]

Love your work Vaughan

If you needed 6 to draw & 7 to win, you might try it.

 

[MacDougall]

Titannnnnnns

Need more Shannon Walker.

The fact that players need to keep an official's decision making abilities in the back of their minds when they're on the field says alot about the state of the refereeing in our code, doesn't it?

 

[MacDougall]

Another bad call, he grounded that on the first attempt.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Another bad call, he grounded that on the first attempt.

No he didn't

 

[skeepe]

Lol. Ref got that one for the Titans, no way that kick was played at.

 

[MacDougall]

Lol. Ref got that one for the Titans, no way that kick was played at.

Yes it was.

 

[Charlie124]

Hurrell not charged, free to play.....

ok then.

 

[Wizardman]

If you needed 6 to draw & 7 to win, you might try it.

You wouldn't even do it then....far too risky. The only time you'd do it is if you were 7 or 14 behind and the clock was against you.

Dumb play of the year for me.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Maxwells had to do it tough. The NRL failed to get him a special allowance for him to bring his crack pipe to NZ. It's written all over his face.

It's nothing about the refs, he was in a whisker of being out when it should've been a certain try.

We needed the replay to ensure he was in, which we can't use.
