Are you over the weekend loss yet Tim?:lol: You'd love it to be that simple wouldn't you?
This should've been a troll free thread...
I hate it when you're sad.

Seems like more neutrals sided with the Dogs too.
It was certainly worthy of discussion, have we received any official word yet from Harrigan?
EDIT: Just saw they agreed with the call. Fair enough.
Im comfortable with the decision, but I agree that it is a 50-50 call. What I think is important with this try is watching it in normal speed, when you see it live the timing is just acceptable. When you watch it in slow-motion, it distorts it and makes you second guess whether the tackle has been completed or not. On this one, I go with the normal speed and I think it was ok.
I never suggested everyone agree with me. Judging by the 240-odd posts thus far and 51-48% poll result, this was clearly a contentious call. At no point am I suggesting it cost us the game (there were 60-odd minutes after it to rectify the situation, we failed to), I put it up for debate.
Suggesting our supporters are "whingeing" because we dare discuss what is clearly a divisive issue is pretty sad.
And I hate it when you're sad.
Sounds like he admits it was 50/50 to me...
There are three things that are certain...
Death, taxes and Canterbury supporters whinging.
He then went onto say it was okay.
That's the official word, I don't agree with it but there it is in black and white.
50/50 means it was a try?
Last I checked 50/50 could've meant it goes either way.
We'll see I guess. I reckon similar scenarios will rear their heads and this sort of decision will become a victim of inconsistency as the season progresses. That's my concern.
Shotgun last post.
