Grand final refereeing errors

[blacktip-reefy]

1. Mateo strip
2. Evans obstruction of Heremaiah.
3. Watmough sideways play the ball
4. No sin binning of Rose
5. The warriors scrum win against the feed reset.

Cant think of any against Manly.

3. Happens every week. The ruck is poorly policed. No consistency from the officals
4. You can't be sin binned for foul play.

No. No it doesnt.

 

[shaggs]

Maybe not as sideways as that. The whole ruck is shite, stepping to the side, walking forward. Etc

 

[Tucky]

That sideways play the ball was one of the worst I've seen in ages.

Scrum to the Warriors.

Since when?

4. Yes you can.

From the Laws of the Game

The referee can dismiss a player for an act of misconduct and send him off the field of play. The player may be sent to the sin bin for five or 10 minutes.

What about the dikhead Shane Hayne getting punted for going too hard on the Broncos. manly had 2 penalties in the first 2 minutes of that game and led 6 zip after 3.

Whilst having fugg all sympathy for the rorting broncs how would Griffin feel when harrigan comes out and says Hayne ain't getting the GF because of that.

Basically what he said is the ref was too hard on JUST ONE SIDE.

This is friggin cheating and goes on every game - as pointed out here it happened yesterday. 5 officials and NONE of them pulled up that play the ball. They oviously saw it and all made the decision, "I will let that go".

THAT right there needs explaining - how come whenever they show deiscretion it's always certain teams that get benefit. It's one ref's job to do fugg all but watch the ruck.

There is no other game like league where you could basically find a penalty every play the ball if you wanted to.

Or let one go.

That must be an old rule book. There is no provision for a 5 minute sin bin. It was always for a professional foul. Im going to google it.

I think you'll find there is. Harrigan said there is on Talkin' Sport a few weeks ok in fact. Just because it isn't used doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Sort of like there is still a rule for second row feeds

 

[shaggs]

Agree with all that. Can't be bothered researching it. Do that too much at work.
Speaking to a ref on Saturday night, he said that he will reffing as he sees it. I got the impression that he was also o er this interpretation shite.
There is no consistency from week to week. It was all about the ruck and walking off the mark at the start of the year. That lasted aboit 2 weeks.

 

[Frenzy.]

When the rule book has 3,497,098,338,192,001 grey error in it they will never get it right.

The rules have all become subjective. They can be applied in gadzillions of ways depending on whatever.

Fuggen stupid game is only about 15-20 years off being gridiron anyway. May as well slap the helmets on them now

 

[shaggs]

You don't need helmets. All we need is velcro strips on our shorts.
Just ask Gus.

The first four were back to back in the last 10 minutes of the first half creating a massive momentum shift. Individual error can iften be overcome but a string of errors one way stuffs the game. It was obvious and so predictable.

No, no, no, no, NO!
According to Gus, you also need a string in your shorts to stop them falling down.
