"Not held"?

[LatK7]

Ridge was held.

[Charles Bronson]

haters gonna hate

 

[Zoggy]

I saw him still fighting to go forward and look for the offload , play on I say

 

[SET2JT]

I thought the Ref should have blown a penalty to the Dragons as the 3rd NZ player who came in and lifted Scotts leg was late. The ref must have thought the tackle was still incompleat thats why he let him carry on with the tackle and thats why Scott was allowed to offload.

 

[_Johnsy]

The refs blow the whistle every time someone is held?

I take it you missed where I typed refs whistle/call.

 

[sting]

Im not a supporter for either side but saints fans you guys would be fuming if that call went the other way and cost you guys your first win in weeks.......

It hardly cost the Warriors the game.

Why the thread? The stains get a leg up again, Whats unusually about that.

No-one's whinging about the fact that the Warriors didn't play by the 'whistle/call'. We're all well aware of that, and for that reason I suppose they deserved to concede the try. Fairly obviously the point of the thread is that it was a terrible call by some fairly average refs. Hence "Not held"? in the title..

well i think it might have if they dont score there then thats 4 points that they dont get.

Why is it only when Saints cop a good call that some dickhead feels compelled to make a thread about it?

The reason it wasn't called held is that Scott was still fighting to offload and the Warriors sent in another defender to stop it. If you say it was held, then the correct call was a penalty to Saints for a defender coming in late.

And if we're counting points, take 6 off the Warriors for the scrum win against the feed that shold have been a Saints ball (Warriors scored from the ensuing set).

 

[no name]

Ordinary call, but is anyone really surprised?
(ref calls in general)

moron

 

[Vic Mackey]

he seemed pretty held to me, but at the end of the day if the ref hasnt called held then he isnt. warriors have no one to blame but themselves

What I find more unusually is that Matai didn't take the opportunity to dogshot someone on Friday night. Perfect chance blown for him. Still there's 80 minutes of regular competition time left for him to get suspended or sent off as per usual.

Nice to see you've changed your av from a cat to a dog.

F**kwit. This is the first thread I have started and I would have started it regardless of who was playing. It was clearly a question, should it have been called held or not. That is the purpose of the thread.

Please.

It was very early on and the Warriors had all game to score points and they didn't.

What's to say there wouldn't be a try on the next play?

What's to say Maloney or Locke don't get injured in the next play and Saints go onto win by 40?

Decisions only "cost the game" if the opposition doesn't have a chance to respond.

i had an eye out for watmong, you know he was itching for it :lol:

 

[Charles Bronson]

I havnt seen the replay, but it did look like he was still moving forward.

anyway the ref didn't call held, so there is nothing to argue here.

also, there have been similar cases go against us where refs were taking long to call held and a try is scored from it.

 

[RHCP]

One of the Warriors was still holding up his leg and trying to drive, Scott was still trying to get the ball away. I have no idea why they dropped off despite the referee not calling held.

I'm fine with it.
