Let's not burn the bloke over it. It was one of the worst calls I've ever seen. At the end of the day though he had a brain snap. He knows the rule. As one of the commentators said he must have thought there was a play the ball to make that call. He made a mistake, he should be sat down for the rest of the year, we have more geniused nonsensical rules than the offside to sort out.

Thinking there was a play the ball when there wasn't isn't a great deal better.

You cant signal 10 and then call a bloke back...
And yet they can signal a goal line drop out, have the kicking team f**k around until a replay is shown, and then have the video referee overrule the decision and give them a 20m restart.

There needs to be some consistency. If the referee can't change his mind about putting someone in the bin because of a mistake he made, then why should the video ref be able to intervene at other points of the game and overrule the on-field referees?

Just bring on the captain's challenge and let that sort out refereeing errors for f**ks sake.

Wow, after the pisspoor effort on Thursday night they've followed it up with an even worse one.

I fear for this year's finals series.

Cummins proving time and time again why he has never been up to first grade standard

What would have the NRL done if the Broncos lost the game?

Cummins needs to be go. He shouldn't be on a first grade field until the trials next year. Absolutely atrocious performance

A 40 metre offside call though? Get your hand off it. It is one of the worst big calls I have ever seen. If the Broncos had of lost the outrage would have been worse

Lets not forget that apparently a player can assist a try after taking an air swing and letting a ball propel forward off his chest, even after an on field ref could see he f**ked up.

Cummings will get a week off and be back for week one of the finals. I expect to see him in the gossip pages next week partying in Bali with Todd and Wade.

Needs to be part of 'Referee Watch' or something similar which needs to be a Sticky, just like Rumoured Signings this is never going to go away

How long do you think it took for any of the officials to realise that a mistake had been made? If I really strain myself I can imagine how Cummins might have thought for a second that Marshall had been tackled and that a play the ball had occurred.

Surely though in the 45 seconds it took for Gillett to leave the field it might have occurred to any one of the five officials that a major f**k up had just taken place and that they still had the chance to correct it.

It boggles the mind.

lol you can't overturn a penalty nor a sin bin unless there was prior foul play he missed. Can't believe how many people don't know the rules.

Of course he can. If it hits his head is that a knock on? What about if it hits his foot?

Why the hell would hitting his chest be a knock on?
