"Not held"?

[Willow]

I've got no problem with the Warriors try. The defence still had time to recover. I'd be looking at how Saints let the try in rather than the semantics of whether or not a player was held.

 

[carcharias]

it was no worse than scotts ...held as much IMO.

 

[Fast Eddie]

passing off the ground IMO should not be allowed...the dude was going nowhere.
He was basically on his back being held by 3 blokes.

Are you serious? He was getting tackled and as he was falling to ground he offloaded.

weird how there's no big thread about it then? Possibly because there is nothing controversial about offloading as you go to ground.
-Moon's elbows hadn't touched the ground.
-Moon hadn't been motionless for 2 seconds, let alone 5.

 

[carcharias]

scott was standing and the ref hadn't called held..any difference?

 

[Fast Eddie]

You have really done well to miss the point completely.

 

[hitman82]

I give up.

Is this guy serious or trolling?

bit rich coming from you ...

One of the worst calls I have seen

you must have watched your first game of footy yesterday then.

Poor Kiwis ...did you see the world cup final by any chance?

Yes and?

IMO it WAS one of the worst calls? and lots of people in here agree. Stating something topical and valid is not trolling

You on the other hand make a daft comment about a legitimate try and everyone can see that you are a moron.

As for the world cup, wtf does that have to do with the price of fish?

In breaking news it's Monday 29th August and we won.

Oh, it is.

I'll send a note to the mods to lock any threads discussing contentious decisions, once the result has been confirmed.

Dwell on it all you want, won't achieve a thing. Your bro's didn't play to the whistle/refs call and paid the price.

I realise I should have actually typed that, but understanding subtlety isn't a strong suit of yours.

 

[Fast Eddie]

I don't get it, your effectively saying that losing teams fans shouldn't discuss past games because it won't change the result.

Dude you can start a thread and say whatever you like that is bad about the Dragons and lots of people would agree with you.;-)

If you read through the thread, I actually said the exact same thing you said in bold up there.

All I'm saying is your suggestion that trying to persuade people that discussing/arguing the merits of a decision post-match because the result is already inked into the newspaper is a waste of time, is pretty silly.

How is that a question?

...and yet I am the moron?


The ref hadn't called held.
It is a try.

Maybe your blokes shouldn't have blown the 10 nil lead ....and lost a home semi in doing so.

 

[Fast Eddie]

f**king hell no shit it was a try, the ref didn't call held so he was entitled to offload. The whole point of this thread was that many felt that the ref should have called held. Maybe your blokes should go half decent for once. I feel sorry for Jeremy Smith.

 

[redvscotty]

If memory serves, Nathan Blacklock was penalised for "playing the ball when he wasn't held" against the Warriors back in the early 00's...

Nev Costigan got pinged for this offence late last year.
