2016 R22 - Wests Tigers 26-14 Cowboys @ Leichhardt Oval

[TheVelourFog]

Looked like a second effort at the end to try to get it to the line

 

[Spade]

Wtf was that little huddle about

Tigers doing there best to build a under dog story.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Well a loss to Melbourne next week won't drop us out of the Top 4 now. Thanks Tiges.

Thurston pulled it over the line trying to hold it up.

 

[Clifferd]

If you can say you clearly saw the ball touching the line, you're either a liar or hallucinating.

You couldn't see the ball on the line due to view being obstructed but Thurston dragging the ball towards the line and the position Tedesco was in is enough to call it a try

 

[Card Shark]

So what if Thurston's hand was under it, it would've touched the grass anyway - he's not Andre The Giant.

Anyway, the ball touched the chalk just before Thurston got there.

 

[shaggs]

Clearly no try. Clearly held up. Cowboys are entitled to be absolutely filthy about that.

It was sent up as a no try. You need conclusive proof to overturn an onfield decision. Given that at no stage can you see the ball touch the line, there's no way you can possibly give that as a try.

Cmon skeepe. You the know the refs and the bunker don't have to have a reason for anything. Just do whatever they feel at each point.

 

[Generalzod]

The bunker doesn't seem to care what the ref thinks.

Absolutely

I think all top 4 teams are safe

No the little one with Cows and Tigers in it...looked like they were praying or something

 

[macnaz]

Thurston's hand is under it?

I think it was either double movement or JT's atempt to grab the ball moved it to the line.
Keep in mind the bunker has better quality footage then we get at home. I would have went with the ref call tho.

No, it needs to be conclusive. Thurston had his hand under the ball, you can't conclusively say that the ball touched the line.

Tigers getting a few '2011' calls

Your tears every time the tigers win are hilarious

 

[Leber]

Thurston seemed to drag the ball when Tackling. Physically impossible for it to have not touched a piece of the on goal

 

[Leber]

Your tears every time the tigers win are hilarious

Errrrr what? I tipped the Tigers.

I'm glad they won.

There was nowhere near enough evidence to overturn the on field decision.

1. Tedesco's arm promotes the ball after it touches the ground

2. It's inconclusive as to whether the ball actually touched the line. Thuston's arm appears to be under it the whole time.

Awful decision, but the Cowboys hopes died when Scott lost the ball anyway.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

So if he touches the line from what people are saying then it's double movement. Tigers were the better team, Cowboys were never in it. They probably need that type of loss.

Was it another Patten f**k up?; if so he has to be getting the punt in the off season. Blokes made a lot of awful decisions.

NRL loves the headlines.And the Tigers in the 8 is a headline.

Even for one day?

 

[skeepe]

One things for sure, we're going to have to be damn good in round 26 to beat the Tigers and the NRL agenda.
