2025 R21 Thu - Sydney 30-34 Melbourne @ Allianz

[SLRBRONCOS]

stefano is curing @SLRBRONCOS crack addiction

Harry Grant dedicates that try to @SLRBRONCOS

I've been around LU Gameday threads long enough that I can no longer have fantasies.

If I try they inevitably devolve into Raelene Castle's fallopian tubes, Nathan Cleary as Galactus and an endless lineup of bald NRL players being gaped by Kurt Capewell, Craig Bellamy and @SLRBRONCOS

I think @SLRBRONCOS may have something to say about that

I was out tonight but this gdt needed some listerineeeeee

The 6 again is good but needs tweaking, especially in this case with 5 to go and down by a try

The refs have discretion to blow a full arm penalty and use the sin bin but they never do and the players know it... from all teams

 

[Apey]

I know everyone loves a still-shot. The rule is both feet have to be behind the ball/kicking foot at the point of contact yeah, not the placed foot? It's closer than it's been made out but he is marginally in front (especially since the ball has separated here).

Still clear cut. Remember this is the bunker that took away a Coates try against the broncos a few years when the ball was kicked from opposite wing and players were not near marked lines

Time off, penalty and a sin bin. Cynical as f**k.

Makes up for the "not offside"?

 

[MRN]

surely any other camera angle shows him 4m in front of the bloke kicking the ball

I agree, but I personally questioned whether bunker had access to that camera at the time, because it was the best indication that he was offside. Turns out they do not.

 

[Saxon]

For educational purposes, bunker can't use eagle cam because not every ground has it. So couldn't use it for the Docker-Clay try with Teddy offside.

True.
But they could use every other f*cking angle which also showed him offside. One of the most egregious decisions for years, and just another reason we should F*CK THE BUNKER OFF!!!

Nah, I had that covered mentioning it to @Bazal

I agree, I'm not defending the bunker here. Go back to the try in the thread, I literally question if the bunker can use that angle. I merely posted because I didn't know at the time and found out they can't use it after the game, thought others may have also questioned it and wanted an answer.

Chris Butler made

A) a horrible call

B) didn't think to look at the Tedesco offside component of the lead up.

Either way, disgraceful officiating.

He was offside for sure.

Melbourne got two very fortuitous 6 agains on 4th tackle in the lead up to two of their tries. I have no idea what they were for.

Swings and roundabouts ay.

If anyone has a better example of a team beating themselves I'd like to hear it...

Kick off that rolled out dead resulted in 2 tries before the roosters touched the ball again.

Crighton drop ball at the roosters 10M line resulted in a try

Walker inexplicable kick that went dead resulted in a try

Tupou dropping the ball over the line that he finishes 99/100

That Crichton drop was from a very average pass from Toops as well.

the inexplicable ones were not knowing that he just had to touch the f**king ball with his foot on the line off the kickoff and dropping that try.. FMD

so he was -12 if you dock him for both tries off the kickoff mistake or minus -6 if your generous and only give him one. Haha

either way he definitely did his best to cost us the game..

at least we got the one one that counts in 2018.. we just can’t seem to beat them otherwise.

When it gets to the point where your team concedes 30- points, forget about whinging about the refs....your sides have deeper problems at that point.
