the ref did the right thing according to Billy.

It's the other times like during the game that they are doing the wrong thing.

 

[Kornstar]

Yep, Bill, the refs are perfect! Never doubted it for a second!

 

[hineyrulz]

As expected.

Yep, the more things change the more they stay the same.

 

[Snoochies]

Oh well, time to move on. Big game Friday night.

IMO, It's a poor excuse to say you don't go to the footy because of the refereeing.

I don't understand it myself but I hear it more and more from supporters of various teams too.

How many of them actually don't go though? It sounds like an excuse for not going rather than a reason for not going.

I can't recall Bill Harrigan once admitting one of his refs made an error since he's been in charge. At least Robert Finch did it ocassionally.

This.

so because the ref's may have given some soft penalties to us, its ok for them to seemingly even things up at the end of the game by persecuting us with horrible absurd calls then huh??

typical rubbish response from Harrigan....the bloke was trying to impede Hayne's kick, ie. play at the ball, i.e its a charge down.....and as for the other bit Maxwell ran straight in with his hand in the air even before Luke Burt hit the ground under the tackle

this whole thing of trying to allow teams the benefit of a scoring opportunity if the game is close is rubbish and such a double standard its not funny - what about games that are not close where sometimes the final 20 seconds to almost a minute (with the 40 sec drop out rule) is frittered away because no one cares, time is not called in those situations, nor early in a game, nor during scrums early in a game....this interpretation on time off is a blight on the game overall and has been for some time

 

[True EEL]

the other factor was that no one knew what was going on.....Burt thought he had 6 more tackles and simply got up to play the ball, no one knew if it actually was a changover or a penalty
Fox Sports certainly thought it was a penalty as they put that on the screen, its just a joke

funny how Harrigan couldn't make a statement on it until he de-briefed his referee's....that is so transparent its not funny.....right let's get our story straight boys

but, Billy is always right, we know that, so time to move on and take out the Dogs on Friday night

roll your eyes all you like Suity, but some people are implying that what goes around comes around and we shouldn't be upset about the absurd end to that game because we were - for once - fortunate enough to get some soft-ish penalties in our favour early in the game. its not about putting words in anyone's mouth, its about simple comprehension of what some have said....so get over it, or get over yourself - whichever is easier for you

its little wonder i have intentionally stayed away from this forum for almost a week :roll:

And for all those saying it was Burt's fault, clearly the blame should now lay with Ben Smith? He's the one who moved the ball, had he not done so, according to Harrigan, Penrith would have had 2 seconds to pick up ball and play it with Maxwell's permission

You're right. How dare they suggest that!!!!!

Even if he wasn't going for charge down, he ends up tackling Hayne, yet if you touch a passed ball in the act of tackling you're deemed to have played at it regardless of intent. It would seem stupid if it weren't the same principle if you touch a kicked ball in the act of tackling, with the only difference being there is a special provision that you can't knock on a rising kick

exactly. it was a charge down because he was attempting to impede the kick

how nice of you to merely highlight a section of my post that suits your position, well done, another wonderful achievement for you.
