2018 R3 Thu - Storm 30-14 Cowboys @ AAMI

[SBD82]

He has not yet qualified for an offside penalty

Valid.

Although I thought he was inside the 10 on the first look. Would have to see it again.

If he was, that's the offence that should be penalised.

Storm on track for another 18 penalty game.

 

[azza29]

More penalties handed out for offside defence in this game than the entire 2017 season.

 

[wibble]

He has not yet qualified for an offside penalty

Why not? He wasn't a passive player, and was currently within 10 of the ball.

He was held back before possession was taken and had no effect on player taking possession. The call was right. Though had he not been held back and made the tackle I doubt the ref would have noticed he was offside.

You can do worse you can listen the Melbourne Storm love fest fox sports commentary

They have gotten better since Brandy and Waz got split up like a pair of misbehaving school boys.

Storm cheating all game

I'm going to have to have another look and get back to you. Raises an interesting point though. Does he have to be 10m away from the ball or the kick receiver?

 

[stormbati]

So crackdowns on play the ball and offside. Guess it's better now than in round 20.
Storm attack rocks and diamonds still lacking polish and direction.
Anyone else think Thurston, Smith and Slater have dipped in terms of quality?

 

[Exsilium]

Cows to win. I’ve seen enough in this second half to call it now.

 

[This Year?]

melbourne are due a penalty.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

Hoffman’s a spud

 

[colly]

on que

 

[no name]

JAC was never held back.
Morgan ran towards the ball and acted as a blocker.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Morgan having a rough one

 

[The Moist Captain]

Finucane played the ball from his knees in one set, using the ball to push himself to his feet. As blatant an indiscretion as we've seen in the play the ball but no penalty to the Cows.

It's inconsistencies like this one that grate the viewers, particularly when the offending team has just had nearly 25 penalties awarded to them in the last 2 hours of footy.

 

[Someguy]

Just realised b.smith is on the bench. How will this play out surely cam won't come off the field

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

Forward you mother f**ker

 

[Shorty]

LOL Cam at the ref when called forward.

 

[roostersrule2]

My god, did they just call a Cam Smith forward pass?
