Ok, this is getting stupider.

Sutton is now saying that the real problem is that none of the officials saw the touch judge raise his flag. You have it right there from the NRL that play should have been stopped when the flag was raised but NOBODY SAW IT - including the video referee!
Certainly.Quote the rule please.
Certainly.
Section 16, rule 8.1(f)
The Referee shall blow his whistle
when any irregularity, not provided for in these Laws, occurs and one team unjustifiably gains an
advantage
By the way I’m not having a go at you here
Who cares
The touch judge is wrong to hold the bloody flag up
Watch the replay
The players are not even looking at the touch judge
What part of this do people not get?
It wasn’t a knock on
It didn’t touch his hand
Not one replay proved that
Play on
Play the whistle
The raiders players are the ones to blame
Maybe next year Ricky you f**king sook
Blaming a correct ref call on a touch judge for his teams season.
Don’t believe any of this other crap he is going on about
He is trying to deflect the real issue.
What a f**king joke of a human he is
Pathetic in every way as a coach.
Ricky is 100% right, fans are leaving the game in droves because they have had enough. There is no level playing fields. Some teams are given a massive leg up and others are being kicked down. Its not only the appalling referring that seems to go against certain teams, but its the draw that also favours certain teams and its the whole lack of creditability with the salary cap and TPA's.
The game will be dead in no time under the present leadership. They need a massive review and start making some har
So why did Sutton come out and say “we got it wrong”......Maybe you should have a crack at the head of referring job if it comes up as you seem to know more than anyone

why not move Faiders there, 1 shithole for another so fans an players won’t notice a difference and the extra fingers and toes won’t stand out.Sir Ricky should have Greenberg's job with first order of business being relocating Cronulla to Chernobyl
He wouldn't. It's similar to an inadvertent whistle. Play has been unnatturally affected and therefore cannot continue.
The NRL have said that play should have been stopped. The rule book says that the play should have been stopped.
With all due respect, you can disagree all you like but you're wrong, and anyone who shares your viewpoint is wrong.
It’s sport Ricky, and shit happens, get over it
I think the issue is that we have extra officials and huge investment in the bunker and it seems to be getting worse not better.
How is it possible that the sharks were blessed with favorable calls, and their fans seem the most upset about the whole situation?
Coolwhy not move Faiders there, 1 shithole for another so fans an players won’t notice a difference and the extra fingers and toes won’t stand out.
The ball didn’t touch his hands of armsWith all the focus on the "flag" issue, people seem to have forgotten that the Bunker overruled the no try on field decision.
I'd love for them to explain there was conclusive proof to overturn that call.
The ball didn’t touch his hands of arms
Every single camera clearly showed it just went straight through.
The ball didn’t move nor did his fingers.
Hey
It was bloody close.
At the game we just thought he touched it and the ref had blown the whistle.
Myself and my mates didn’t know about the flag bit until I watched the replay and heard the commentary.
If the ref did go with the touch judge it would’ve been an incorrect call.
I bet Ricky wouldn’t have stuck up the Sharks then.
It looked ordinary but you gotta play the whistle.
Raiders scored a try off a quick tap before the ref had finished giving the penalty.
They also scored one off a forward pass.
Ricky seems cool with those decisions.
Both could’ve been called back.
