Warriors looked to score, but got penalised for taking the player out while in mid-air. Francis Meli is an idiot, I think thats three times he's done it this year and got penalised. I mean he's good enough to take a high ball why doesnt he contend it instead trying to take a player out.

Are you allowed to push your team forward to either score or gain territory? Or is that a union thing only and illegal here.

Actually it was a really bad decision by the video ref. It should have been a try to the warriors

How do you come up with that when his arms are up attacking the football ONLY, Myles drops it, gets into a collision with Meli, and Guttenbeil scores. Cat of a decision from a poor video ref.

The only reason the video ref denied it, was cause he was looking at Meli not contending the football. I agree it wasnt a good decision, Myles lost the ball first. But ive to question Meli on occassions like this, he's good enough to jump high and contend the football, but why he does he try to take out the player going for the football, you cant away with these things in the NRL.

You are right on the past instances, but you appear to base your opinion on this one on your preconceived notion.

Meli's arms ARE up contesting the football. What else does he have to do? Yell out MARRRRRKKK like you have to in rah-rah. It was a dodgy, dodgy decision, one look it took him to make the wrong call, when it took 47 looks to FINALLY come up with a blatantly clear cut try to Sweeney.

Who was the video ref?

I dont understand how he took so long to make a decision on that Sweeny try, it was clearly a try. What were they looking for? :?

I agree.

These decisions only turn people away from the game. It's not hard to get things right, all the refs have to do is use one braincell. There were some really poor decisions made in the last 15 from the clown in the middle.

Steve Nash.

The same bloke who came up with that penalty try for Melbourne v the Warriors.

Him and Archer seem to have a preset idea of damning the Warriors to hell and back.

The guy though who must go is Robert Finch, week after week he denies there's issues, if Tony Archer is approaching nearly 100 first grade appearances under Finch's helmsmanship, then there are absolutely monsterous refereeing issues. I understand the Warriors are rated a cr@p side but why we ALWAYS get Archer or Shayne Hayne is also completely unacceptable.

funny when archer called toopi for a strip in the last 7 minutes, archer says : 'i THOUGHT he played at the ball', since when do you get penalised for your thoughts.
