Beau Scott/Matt Prior - try/no try

[Packy]

The rules are always goverened to the letter of the law and referees are always right. That is what this thread has taught me. Or that is what many of you believe.

Yeah I am probs butt hurt but that's life. I am over the result (losing is a bit to common now days to be too upset) but I would call this try up every week if it were to happen.

I still dispute that this should be a try. I believe that if he had have thrown the ball rather than handing it off the action would have been more pronouced and a penalty would have been called. If this was on the half way line a penalty would have been called. I believe that if a player had dived on him it would have been a flop.

Shit happens and the better team won on the day but if you can't see that this is precident for a can of worms you are a bit naive. This was rugby union.

If it had been blown up as a penalty, I reckon no one would have commented.

Incorrect context.

That last part refers to a player who is lying on the ground of their own accord (i.e. dived on the ball or fell over) - not when getting tackled.

Scott, if he was able to reach, would have been allowed to promote the football to ground the ball without it being considered a double movement - thus he is also allowed to pass the ball.

Prob the best explanation yet. If Scott had been facing the other way, he could've leant over to place the ball over the line and it is a try.

it should have been an 8 point try.

22 pages and no suggestion of a Ryles Sin Binning?

No, but Jason was definitely offside in the Dogs second try.

 

[The Gambler]

He looked plenty succumbed to me.

This.

What is 'succumbed' to the tackle anyway? Is that defined in an appendix to the rules somewhere? :sarcasm:

Personally, I love these contentious calls anyway - adds to our already exciting game - gives us plenty to talk about at the water cooler at the office. So keep it up refs!!!

if the ignorant 9 commentators didn't start crying about it i reckon no dogs supporters would have had their cry about it. although it was and is amusing watching them cry.

keep planning your revenge for the next game doggies. make sure you have an excuse ready when you lose.

Of course it was a try otherwise it would not have been given.

 

[besthalfbackPEARCE]

It was a tackle any day of the week

Nah not on a Friday.

 

[Godz Illa]

But not the weekend. Friday night is considered weekend imo

Ignorant statement is ignorant. I didn't have sound on and I was disgusted at this "decision".

So... you are wrong.

The ref and big Bill said it was a try , so.... you are wrong.

Refs boss tries to vindicate terrible decision. Big surprise.

Why vindicate when hes already sacked vid refs this season for blunders?

Are you slow? My statement was in relation to my quote. Not the decision. Comprehension is your friend.
