lol made the correct call. Loose carry by Fafita.

 

[M2D2]

Was not a loose carry. hes played at the ball it was a clear as day strip.

 

[Clifferd]

How can you play at the ball when you’re trying to make the tackle

Common sense prevails & although admittedly should’ve went upstairs to seal their fate, it was the correct call imo.

Probably the biggest show of incompetence by a referee in history given the circumstances. Regardless of the call, how did that not need to go upstairs? Tonga won

 

[East Coast Tiger]

It was the right call and he made it without a kfc ad.


And in front of a big Tongan crowd it would have been a valuable ad for the colonel.

Because you are playing at the ball, not the man.
Common sense didnt prevail.

Tonga should be in the world cup final right now.

Not sure if you're being serious. Calling that a try would be farcical.

Strip/loose carry is a lottery that fans have complained about all year. It's absolutely not certain.

 

[no name]

Regardless of opinion on the last call, no one can deny he was horrible for the 79 minutes prior.
He should have just given the whistle to Sam Burgess.

Video ref was shit too.

f**k the refs

I maintain the fix was on so that England and Oz play the big one in Brisbane,if Checcin gets the gig next week that confirms my suspicions.
Tonga won that game and the turd Checcin refused to send it upstairs.
Laurier Daley made the same criticism.

 

[LeedsStorm]

He called several earlier incidents where the defender makes contact with the ball a knock on, for both teams. Maybe it's better to question why a team swimming with NRL talent is outplayed and fails to score for 70 minutes?

Fantastic contribution to a stuttering world cup, but to suggest Tonga were robbed is exceptionally one eyed

 

[Munted]

Loose carry by Fatfita.

He should pretend the ball is his sister in laws centerlink cheque.
Hold tight!

 

[deal.with.it]

Right call. Loose carry and wasn't an intentional strip. Flung an arm out while diving and by chance tapped the ball and fifita dropped it, just like he did against the cowboys. He has terrible ball security.

 

[deluded pom?]

The desperation for England to lose, under any circumstances, by some posters on here is just embarrassing. You'll probably get your wish next week.

 

[Golden point]

The people calling it a bad call.
Now , just try and imagine if he pointed to the spot...seriously. I feel sick just thinking about it.

Then Tonga get flogged by Australia 50- 0 in the final ?

What are you people on?
