2019 R16 Sat - Knights 20-24 Warriors @ McDonald Jones

[Meth]

I dunno, I don't really have a problem with that being called a professional foul and hence the sin binning.

Yep- it was a binning

 

[Maroon4life]

 

[TheDMC]

Full time not blown so a penalty can be awarded

Was the full-time hooter not blown on time by a dirty cheating aussie full-time hooter blower?
Or was it just the dirty cheating aussie ref decided to ignore it so he could give Newcastle one final crack?

 

[bileduct]

Yep- it was a binning

Yeah, in that tackle you had one bloke doing a leg pull and another bloke holding up the play the ball.

 

[Noname36]

Do you seriously not think that your team massively benefited from referee blunders tonight?

Of course we benefitted to a degree but this is also the first week in 7 my team hasn’t had at least one player sent to the sin bin for no reason whatsoever so you won’t get much sympathy from me where referees are concerned sorry.

Oh the adversity you faced lol

 

[Leber]

Oh, we won? Meh.

 

[Meth]

Cynical and obvious

 

[TheDMC]

Bunker, Badger, Annesley & Todd have a shit load of explaining to do this week, bud will get lost in the Origin hype

You forgot the hooter blower dude/lady

 

[mozza91]

Hope Kasey goes to town on Gav with the strap on tonight. Cheating merkin.

You’re literally bitching about the adversity you’ve faced, you bitch

I was confused because the fox sports clock was out, so it seemed weird in that context. But as you pointed out earler, thats not the official clock
In which case, he's defnitely just laying there until the siren sounds, ive got no problem with the sin bin and also it's what i'd instruct my team to do. Ill take my chances 12-13 for a single play.

But boy that game should never have come down to that last play. The knights didnt deserve to be within coooooeee of the warriors scoreboard wise.

 

[Iafeta]

Yo

you’re kidding . A 10-5 pen count but you think refs wanted the knights to win . Either you’re a moron or your eyes are painted on

Hahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahaha. Thanks for the laugh.

Warriors 28
Newcastle Referees 18
Newcastle 2

 

[Zadar]

Was the Knight's hooker pointing for the 2 off the last penalty?

 

[Noname36]

Because that’s all this entire thread has been about, it wasn’t until the late try that everyone was saying that the refs “cost” the game for the Warriors. Give me a f**king break. They had that game lined up on a platter for them before it started and if they hadn’t won it would have been embrassing regardless of the refs. Im highlighting that every team cops shit calls and using the knights as an example. You won anyway.

There’s your first clue

When I worked there the Fox Sports clock was controlled by the guy doing the stats, and I was responsible for the system he used. He'd sit there with a tablet with an overlay which had a timer box which he'd touch with the tablet pen whenever the ref called time off, and it would send a signal to the workstation that produces the onscreen graphics which would stop the onscreen timer. The stats dude can be late to react to the referee, so the Fox Sports clock gets out of sync with the official timekeeper.

That role got farmed off to Champion Data, but I'm pretty sure it'll still be done in a similar way.

First try comes off a phantom six again when Lino drops it cold.

Second try comes after Hymel Hunts left hand knocks the ball on.

Ken Maumalo scores a third try which is ruled out.

Final try for Newcastle comes after Hiku being knocked out and Gavin Badger blatantly ignoring the protocols of the code to allow play to continue.

When Lisone scored, Newcastle blatantly knock on at the restart but a phantom knock on is called against the Warriors.

Final play, Agnatius Paasi is sin binned after time had expired after the time keeper failed to blow the siren giving Newcastle yet another attempt.

Excuse me, but there is far more wrong with this game then the last try.

hmmm, wow. That's interesting. Guess it would seem easy enough to be 2-3 seconds off, but i watch a lot of fox sports footy and they are usually pretty on song.
Still got, to go with the official time keepers and in which case it's ABSOLUTELY a sin bin

Yes all poor errors by the refs?

I’m not saying that the calls were right, just that the whinging is over the top considering every single game you have a list of calls like that. The quality of officiating is at an all time low. The hysteria in here about the “poor Warriors” is what I’m talking about, not that I disagreeing that the rulings were poor. I said we got lucky after a call or two in this very thread.
