It was the right call.
Hasler will be fined.
happy outcome all round really...
hasler may be fined for his outburst, and you may be happy with the decision, but it was the wrong call without any doubt in the world.

You really are thick
Orford dived for the ball. Campbell tripped over him.
Incorrect call.

If Orford dived for the ball coming from the side and made contact with the ball first, fair enough. I had a look at it again. His FIRST AND FOREMOST action was to take Preston out, he had his eyes for Preston only. Once he took him out then dived on the ball with his legs ending up where his hands should have been if he had of dived from the direction he was diving from.
I probably haven't explained it simply. If viewing from TV, Orford is coming from west direction, he runs across field, sees Preston and his eyes are ONLY for Preston initially. Once he clatters into him, throwning his body, his legs end up in an East direction and the ball on to Orfords right side. So he's gone past the ball and smashed Preston and ended up with the ball.
Should have just dived on the ball Orford.
As for Hasler, Karma is a B*tch when Lyon can srore a try in mid air without hands against Brisbane and a nice tap forward try also

Bull#hit. That was a clear penalty. In fact should have been a penalty try.
Grow a brain Hasler and learn the rules.
The Titans/Manly and Saints/Canterbury games have shown up something that worries me....
We have the advantage of 3 referees being present (and video replay), yet some decisions in the back end of very close games can still be left in the hands of just one referee, and nothing can be done to stop him from making a "clanger" of a decision - even if the other referees can see it is a "clanger" or have something to contribute, they can't.
The views of the on-field refs aren't sought once it goes to the video ref. In the Saints/Canterbury "no try" call, might it have been different if the video ref had told the on-field refs why he was about to rule "no try"? Might they have said something to have helped get the right decision?
What if in a situation like in the Titans/Manly game if the 2nd ref had a better view of the Campbell/Orford challenge and saw it was completely ok? Despite the advantage of having the extra ref, it doesn't help in getting the right decision. I wonder if in situations where the main ref is contemplating awarding a game deciding penalty, if he shouldn't first call time off, and quickly check with the other officials?
We've got 3 refs, but there are still plenty of situations where they are still acting alone - and even if one or both of the other refs see a "clanger" of a decision being awarded, they can do nothing to stop it or overturn it there and then when it matters.

But this is all based on your opinion that Checchins decision was the wrong one.
Many will say he was correct.
One or seven, you will still get incorrect decisions.
We cant debate penaltys, refer them upstairs, games would go for hours.
