And if the letter of the law was applied the Warriors second try would have been taken off them too as Luke ran behind a player to kick

For f**k sake nrl. Have a try of the year candidate and have it overturned on bullshit.
It had a blatant illegal pass in it. Never a try of the year contender for mine. It shouldn't have been a try. They just used something they could rule on to get the right call.

That obstruction is soft. But at the end of the day it was used to get the right call.

I pity young fans nowadays as they will never know the old days when you just accepted that refs faked up sometimes just like players and coaches but the game flowed and great entertainment wasn't screwed over time and again by a vide ref killing the momentum of a game.

Yea in the heat of the moment i completely forgot the forward pass. It says something about the refs that they have to find a minute bullshit call on super slo mo reply to cover for missing something completely obvious.

It was one of those movements that you wished was a try because it was so awesome, but the forward pass marred it.

Geez that's was a true definition of the Shepard rule. Ran right, then back to the left straight behind his own player. Penalty every day of the week.

Exactly. Touchies are ignoring worse forward passes then that lately. If there was nothing else to review they score an illegal try.

I think getting the right outcome for the wrong reason beats it just being wrong.

Apart from about 9 mins the Warriors well dominated that half. I think they'll run away with it in the second half.

Warriors centres always have a habit making us look 2nd rate.

Atm Kata is destroying us, before it was Hurrell and before that Inu...
