2018 R18 Sat - Sea Eagles 13-14 Storm @ Lottoland

[Saxon]

Ref doesn’t seem to have the balls to call storm offside now

Why should he? Hasn't called you lot off all night.

Now there's a meme with some truth to it.

Ref didn't call time off near the Manly line when Vindaloo was having a period on the sideline with the Manly number 2. Wasted at least a minute. Manly would have done wonders with that amount of extra time.

And that penalty the bunker pulled out of it's arse for Mel to give them the lead was very selective. Most other days,that goes unnoticed. Not for Mel.

You are ware the clock was actually stopped for that aren't you?

And the penalty was 100% spot on. Doesn't matter how many other times they may have missed it.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

This.

The amount of people that have no clue about the rule is ridiculous.

We get it you flog. It’s the other dozen calls that go Melbourne’s way that the people have an issue with.

 

[thorson1987]

yes but accidental is a scrum, not a gift 2 points

But it isn't accidental.

Accidental offside is when an offside player does not play at the ball. It is a penalty when the offside player plays at it, which is what Thompson did. Granted he may not have realised it came off Hokko but that does not make it accidental.

I don't think that correct at all.

 

[GongPanther]

Forget about it. There's no chance the purple darlings aren't going back2back.

Between Souths,Brisbane,Easts and Panthers (if they can somehow manage the injury toll).

If that happened against Melbourne you would be frothing and it does matter because it's the consistency which is the talking point, you can't just conveniently use the bunker to make a decision when it rarely happens in any other game

 

[The_Shield]

Which storm try did you enjoy more? The one with the forward pass or the one where the lead runner stopped in the line?

That was a terribly officiated match and manly got the Royal shaft

Aw poor Manly. 65% of possession in the first, a try from a knock on and playing against the East Tigers with Cameron Smith was totally unfair for them

 

[Saxon]

You chose to catch the ball, it's deliberate. Simple as that.

 

[thorson1987]

Well those in here who still can't grasp it are the ones I am talking about.

Now go have a f**king cry you sook.

 

[blaza88z]

It is correct, accidental offside is a scrum

Would I?

You have no f**king clue.

I have no issue what so ever when correct calls go against us.

 

[thorson1987]

I don't think that correct at all.

Yeah accidental offside is a scrum, when it is actually accidental.

Usually happens when a kick hits a player in front of the kicker.

 

[Jason Maher]

Melbourne had the win at their back both ways. Brave win.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Would I?

You have no f**king clue.

You don't often get opportunities to have an issue with it

Wait so you want an incorrect call to be made because refs have stuffed up in previous games?

 

[firechild]

yes but accidental is a scrum, not a gift 2 points

But the bloke that picked it up in an offside position picked it up deliberately. No point blowing up about that call because it was about the only one all night they actually got right.

 

[blaza88z]

I don't want to see the bunker making decisions in the run of play when they rarely do it in any other game

I saw it ticking over when it started for at least 10 seconds. If they stopped it,a little after,I stand corrected as my attention was on the potential stink.
