2024 R3 Sun - Parramatta 28-24 Manly @ CommBank

[Wizardman]

You could argue that the reason the defender stops is because he knows he’s not going to get around Jurbo.

He’s denied the opportunity to move through and then Turbo took the space Moretti could have been in if Jurbo wasn’t in the way.

I really don’t think we should be asking referees to guess what defenders might or might not do if an obstructing player isn’t there.

The key is in the wording the bunker uses too - he is denied the opportunity. Whether he would or wouldn’t have moved there or whether he would or wouldn’t have made the tackle is irrelevant.

I agree with that.

 

[Apey]

I might be on my own, but that’s a blatant obstruction/no try for mine

Yeah, I think both parts of that call were correct. Tommy passed it back, one of the replays was perfectly in line with it.

Taking the 2 ffs!!

Gutless call.

Hey, Knights did that to go up by 10 against the Cowboys.

Wait.

 

[MRN]

No Jerome Luai tonight for the Storm, may as well call it now.

I agree. If we ask referees to guess whether they think Player A is capable of stopping Player B in a given situation, we’re asking for trouble.

 

[fourplay]

Refs have ruined this game

 

[hineyrulz]

Shaun Lazy.

 

[Bazal]

Lane is so lazy FMD

 

[lockyno1]

Give Arthur an extension please

 

[2 weeks]

Is it just me or has the refereeing and bunker been diabolical in this round?

The problem started when they employed this guy

And Stevie Wonder

 

[hineyrulz]

Please kick this long ffs!!

 

[Bazal]

Great tackle DylBro. Probably saved the set

 

[Wb1234]

If manly score here still get a decent finish

 

[Bazal]

Lol we should be banned from short kicks

 

[Wb1234]

If he gets the goal they have seven minutes to win it

 

[chrisD]

Gutho really should be able to stop that.

 

[Meth]

a lot to like about that

 

[skeepe]

What the f**k was that from Parramatta? Because you couldn’t call it defence.

 

[eagles4eva]

that was shocking defence by the Eels

 

[Bazal]

JFC shoot me now

 

[hineyrulz]

geniused short drop out and pitiful defence.


great call to take the two.
