Apparently the image doing the rounds on facebook is doctored. Who knows really? What we saw in the coverage you couldn't overturn whichever way it was called. Kind of evens out the dodgy strip penalty in the lead up to the Grant try, although we should still have defended that.

Ivans game plan was the difference.
It’s not, Gal is a f**king idiot. Watch the video in the X link that’s been posted.

I love you buddy but nothing in this post is correct.

Panthers back 3 and forwards were the difference not Ivan.

Whilst the vr totally screwed this and a Storm 12-10 lead makes it a possible different second half II’m not overly upset at the sht decision. Penrith dominated and were the better team. They deserved the win, VR corruption or not. View attachment 95155
It surprises me that people can look at a 2D image and be so adamant it touches the ground?

Definitely looks a try from that shot, but there is nothing definite; 9 times out of 10 with the ball touching the ground (either rules touching or held up) it stays with the refs decision because camera angles are so tough to rule in.

I just read your post three times. It’s definite but it isn’t. That clears that up.

We were better than them for the whole 80mins lol. How the f**k you going to be whinging about a ref’s call? We even won by more than a converted try with only turning it on when we had to. They were pocketed. It was a GF for them but just like a regular season game to us.

The gap between 2 and 3 is the same as between 1 and 2.
