Decisions That Changed Finals

[theo]

Decisions have to be made, and everyone has to live with the consequences. Decisions can be critical, fallible, humbling, and a reminder of the potential weight of their actions.

The video I made includes the 1989 and 1999 Australian rugby league finals, and the 2018 Australian soccer final.

Changa’s white boots.

Colour aside, the needles in his legs didn't help. I watched the 38-0 1975 loss to Easts and his legs were like slime.

Selecting Shaun Kenny Dowall

Selecting BJ and Paea in 2010 GF, Illawarra didn’t even need the refs help after that.

 

[Hutty1986]

The 'held' farce in the 05 prelim that killed all of our momentum. A ridiculous rule that has since been changed

And funny how chooks fans whinge about the Morris call, but were happy with the refs ignoring Leiderpa's knock on, in the following set

 

[Bazal]

Billy the Skid dropping the ball cold and winning a penalty in the 2009 Grand Final. GI kicks one point in the ensuing set and wins the game

We were behind but we'd clicked and we were coming for them. At best it robbed the crowd of an absolute grandstand final few minutes

Soward should have been sent off for kicking it out, grub merkin

Or, if you like, Hayne's decision to be a dick and bump Slater as he ran back on side. Ref (correctly) rules Hayne caused the dropped ball. No-one to blame but Payne himself.

Picking Ben Hunt

Picking Ben Hunt

Or shutting up shop 60 minutes into a grand final. Or missing about 10 easy tackles in the last 60 seconds

 

[Life's Good]

Not extending Bennett’s contract.
Good one Douchy.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Trent was HELD!
