Blatantly robbed of the game by the bunker after the full-time siren. What kind of compensation should they be given?

Annesley needs to come out tomorrow and make zero excuses for that. The refs and the bunker royally f**ked it, in multiple different ways, all in the one instance:

- Not having the brains or the balls to call the Feldt dive for what it was, a dive

- That instance isn't even challengable under the rules. The refs don't even know what the rules they're reffing by even are

- I'm pretty certain a comfortable 20 seconds had passed between the moment the dive happened and the ref calling the challenge. He was so muddled between trying to hear what Klown was telling him in his earpiece, the players yelling different shit at him and the noise of the crowd screaming that he completely lost track of what he was doing

- The ref never explicitly asked the captain if he wanted to challenge. he had to be prodded to even bring it up

I mean turn it all the way up. This is meant to be a professional sport, and this is the garbage that the team running LAST has to put up copping from the team running 2nd. This is Rugby League, not Professional Wrestling.

The result can't be reversed without a media hurricane ensuing, but at the very least the Tigers deserve a legit apology tomorrow morning.


There we go, I just timed it: 26 seconds between the dive and the call being sent up. Farcical.

When a jockey or driver gets the laps wrong in a horse race, it’s an automatic minimum 3 month suspension. They always claim it was an accident but the stewards know they have to send a clear message about it. They also check the jockeys bank accounts and all his friends and relatives, the trainer, strapper, every bookies hold to see if there were any strange market anomalies accompanying the f**k up. If they find anything it gets referred to the cops.

all of that should be happening here.

Even if it was a dive, the Tigers player changes his line and made contact. He put himself in the position to be penalised, and so it happened.

Why not post the exact wording of the law, so we can line up it against it.

You've got to scratch your head at why Kepaoa was so stupid to run such an obvious line with no intention to go for the ball.

As Slater said in commentary, we all know what he is doing regardless of where he is looking.

Yes Felt took a massive dive and he had zero chance of getting the ball, but sorry, it wasn't the ref's it was Kepaoa that cost the tigers the win.

It is the refs fault because by the NRL’s own rules, the Cowboys weren’t able to challenge.
