2016 R21 - Titans 18-18 Sharks @ Cbus Super Stadium

[PARRA_FAN]

Well done Titans. First ever draw.

Some average reffereeing gave the Titans a draw. Exciting to watch however.

Both sides are extremely fortunate the refs decided to put the whistle in their pockets for overtime. Sharks were offside quite a bit more though.

LOL, the refs were shocking both ways. A draw was probably the right result. Teams were pretty even throughout.
I think the 10 in the bin (correct decision) took its toll on the Titans in the last 10 minutes of regular time. Looking back, they should have gone for the 1 point with about 12-15 to go.

amazing effort from the tits, take a bow.

Can the sharks still have an "underfeated" streak?

I agree that a draw was probably a good result.

However the try you guys scored where Maloney was taken out should have been ruled no try. That was a clear obstruction and the ball runner cannot receive the ball on the inside of the dummy runner. I'm surprised it was awarded. And the penalty against Fifita for being offside which forced the dropout, he was not offside, I replayed it a million times and he was onside everyday of the week.

On a side note, McQueen was allowed to get away with murder in the ruck all night.

As was Fifita with his second/third man flops, Ennis holding the ball while tackled man was rising to play it and Prior with his pulling the tackled player's leg around. In fact in one set Prior got away with it 3 tackles in a row.

The refs were VERY kind to the Sharks.

Went both ways
Hurrell made more metres getting up to play the ball than he did running

 

[Generalzod]

Conrad pretended he was injured a few play before nearly scored the winning try.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

stats and fantasy points don't do him much justice, but Pulu was a powerhouse last night. 24 tackles but all of them had some venom behind them.

They can, but the record is 35 games by Easts in 1935-38, a run that included 4 draws.

Yeh I thought he was great. Plays with heaps of energy. Also does a lot of support running

Hence my point in response to your colleague's claim that the refs got the Titans the draw.

But they did. That try should never have been given,

That's debatable. Maloney was never impeded - he played for the obstruction.

They also allowed your team to get away with an unbelievable amount of shit both in the ruck and offside. On the last Tits 20m restart in regular time just about the entire Sharks side were not back the ten, but the refs did nothing. Tits should have got a penalty that would have seen them with plenty of opportunities to kick a FG.

See how this works?

What is it with you and complaining about the refs when your team wins the penalty count by a hefty margin?

Why are you debating extra time with me when it should never have been there in the first place?

You cannot stop in the line as a decoy runner or catch the ball on the inside of the decoy runner. Both of these were done.

No try.

Where, anywhere in the post below do I mention extra time.

maloney tried to play for the obstruction but the refs rightfully didn`t fall for it.

Sorry, I skim read your post and just saw field goal.
