2022 R22 Sun - Canberra 24-22 St Geo Illa @ GIO

[AlwaysGreen]

Can't believe there are teams worse than us.

 

[baselinepanther]

making the easy look hard ... again

at 24-12 we should have kicked on
Tapine was a huge out for us , but we have to put our foot on throats when we get in positions like that

we haven't done that all year , or the last 2 years

Can't believe there are teams worse than us.

The 2 games show we are equally as bad as each other and there are 5 teams worse then both of us

Agree
We shouldn't of got as close as we did
Back 20 of the first half you had us on the back foot and were making easy meters

 

[baselinepanther]

anyone thinking the knights will be a push over next week better think again

they like playing us
& its the whacky raiders , so anything is possible

keeping our season alive will hopefully see us do enough

 

[Reflector]

Watching two sets of fans argue about a game that has absolutely no impact on the competition is really quite something.

Did someone say cripple fight?

If Dragons still had their captain's challenge and used it to challenge that last call the game would have gone to golden point.

Congratulations, your unbelievably long streak of being completely f**king wrong about everything continues.

I almost admire your commitment to the bit.

There was no controversy over the last play. There was no penalty to be found. There was 2 seconds left on the clock. The average play the ball speed in the NRL is 4 seconds. Are you seriously trying to tell me that you think there should be a penalty for holding down for half of the amount of time a play the ball is usually allowed? Get the f**k out of here with that nonsense.

Had to laugh.
During the Titans Manly game Warren Smith was so glowing over the result he had to mention it no less than 3 times during the call, then in the Matty Johns show a few people in the audience laughed at hooks presser.

So over these flogs at Fox reaching for controversy. Feegai lost the ball when trying to get to his feet anyway.

It's hilarious that you think the Foxtel timer is the official time and that you're pretending the siren didn't go off about three seconds after the Foxtel timer hit zero.

Jarrod Croker being absent for the past two years sure has cooked your brain, bro.

He lost it as he tried to play the ball with CHN pushing down on his head.

Video ref would have given Dragons a shot at goal.

 

[nick87]

Annesley confirmed today with audio from the official time keeper that time had expired before any infringement, and even if challenged, the challenge would have been unsuccessful on both grounds of time expiring AND the dragons player losing the football without interference

The second push by CHN, which is what everyone thought was an infraction came after time had expired. The game was over.

Alot of those go either way. You could argue he placed the ball before getting to his feet or CHN prevented him from getting to his feet.
Just like Hunt did last time, CHN tested the refs and got his side home.

All Annesley did was confirm that Gee blew his whistle because the ball had been lost.

It doesn't matter what Annesley thinks would have happened, because Annesley constantly has to explain why the bunker gets things wrong, doesn't he.

I don't know what you watched, but Annesley certainly did more than just "confirm Gee blew his whistle because the ball had been lost."
He confirmed time expired before the ball was in play and prior to any technical infringement, and he also confirmed there was a knock on in the ruck prior to any infringement too. So that's really it. The official was right to call the game over but even if there was more time on the clock, the correct call was a knock on in the ruck.

On the second part, sure, the bunker can get things wrong. But they'd be wrong. In this instance, all evidence presented today suggests they got it 100% spot on.

The game is over when the referee blows full time.

Again, if that call was challenged and went to the bunker Dragons would have sent the game to golden point.

Fans from other clubs are just confused, because they think Corey will stop interfering in the tackle once the full time whistle goes.

Raiders fans know this is an instinctive reaction in Corey and if you stand up in front of him, Corey will push you down again, like a moth must fly toward light or a snakes tongue testing the air. Doesn't matter if it's tackle 1, tackle 5 or if the whistle has blown. Corey NEEDS to interfere in the ruck.

I dont know how else to say it. It's been pretty well explained.
Time expired as per the official time offiical, the ball was not in play,, no infraction had occured prior to the expiration of time and so the referee called time off, established the dragons had no challenges and called fulltime.

As for the second part, apparently what Annesley thinks would have happened is irrelvant (which he was clear about in saying any challenge would have been unsuccessful on two counts, 1 being time had expired prior to any infraction and 2 being that the dragons player lost the ball in the tackle) but what you think would have happened is absolute fact?
There is no reason to beleive the Bunker wouldnt have noticed the knock on if they were asked to examine it closer.

There is nothing more to say at this point. I was wrong, you were wrong. Unless Annesley cooked the evidence, what he showed today was an open and shut case for this being 100% the correct call.

I think the most important thing to come out of all this is that skeepe was right.

No need to apologise @bileduct and @St Tangles, your public shaming here is surely punishment enough.
