Everyone write to the NRL and tell them how disgusting that refereeing was.

I thought it was 90 seconds though (I may be wrong).

something like that , from the time of the awarding of the try.
so
the clock was stopped at 79.55
so the try was awarded around 78.25

 

[Fangs]

Just as a recap:

* tigers scored with 73 seconds left, you are allowed 90 seconds to take the shot at goal before the referee stops the clock, clock stopped after 68 seconds

* challenge allowed when no stop in play had been awarded

* literally running into the back of a defender is now a penalty

Kayo clock shows 1.31 left. So 91 seconds according to them.

 

[horrie hastings]

Same here. 20 minutes later and I'm still in a state of shock. It's just so, so wrong.

It was such high quality game which i was really enjoying until the final fatal act in the last second.

There would be many other games and results like this though.

On what legal basis could you do it? You would have to accuse them of fraud or conspiracy.

You could legitimately argue within the rules of the game that time had expired and there was no legitimate way for it to be extended and for the challenge to be made. You could argue gross negligence.

I know it is a slippery slope. Canberra fans argue that they ‘will’ have won a couple of weeks ago with Hunt’s last play antics (and they have a fair shout) but they still had to kick the goal and then win in extra time. There is plenty of grey area there to exploit as a legal defence.

Here it is black and white; it’s is an error of applying the law (rather than interpretation) that directly led to a different outcome and without that error you can plausibly show that the Tigers categorically will have won the game.

Dirty like Christina Aguilera Dirty lol

I wish I knew what that kind of dirty felt like.

No this was more in Raelene Castle territory.

It was 1.27 by the time the try is awarded though.

I’ll be checking every f**king bank accountant In the NRL organisation

87 seconds then.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

I’m talking about the blokes on the Mattyl show

Sorry. Agree they are a waste of space.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Agreed, Rothfield blubbering on about the Sharks will be the highlight.

Listen, f**k that merkin. He doesn't represent me or any other Sharks fan I've ever met. He's profited from dragging our club and individual players and their families into the dirt on many occasions. You can find more value at Lucas Heights Tip.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

87 seconds then.

How long do they have to kick a goal? I thought it was 90 seconds (but I don’t know for sure).

 

[Canard]

The NRL has consistently batted away any clock discussion by saying the broadcasters clock is not official.

It came up as recently as a week ago.

So the argument around time is likely to go nowhere.

As I said earlier the NRL set the precedent a few years back when they refused to overturn the Storms "win' against the Dragons when they scored the winning try from a play the ball they were illegally allowed to take after the full time siren had sounded.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Kayo clock shows 1.31 left. So 91 seconds according to them.

that was when he scored, but the referee was behind play and didn’t award it for about 15 seconds

 

[Fangs]

We don't have access to the official clock so who knows.

The rule is 90 seconds I believe.

 

[butchmcdick]

Cowboys no longer EvErYoNe's SeCoNd TeAm!???

It’s not our fault

What are we supposed to do ?

Decline the kick ?

 

[GongPanther]

Cowboys acting like they stole the comp

Game repeats on FNQ TV tonight to get the Cows supporters in the moooood.

It will come down to a "judgement" argument.

It would seem like a mighty big fight for the Tigers to embark on, just for 2 meaningless competition points (in 2022)
