NSW Robbed of victory by pathetic video ref

If anyone here can honestly tell me that Billy Slater was on side from Locker's kick I will go hopping to hell.

The video ref's decision was a disgrace.

Don't get me wrong it was a fabulous game but the officials involved had an influence on the out come.

And if Sean Hamstead is the leagues's best ref.

We are in serious trouble.

In conclusion, congratulations QLD I look forward to the decider.

Yes, they did go to the video ref for that try

they didn't go to the video ref for the Carlaw try in which Slater potentially blocked a NSW player from making a tackle but I thought it was fine tho

They went to the video ref, and zoomed right in. Too close to call for sure. Benefit of the doubt. The decision was correct (and I'm a blue).

He was onside, honestly, go watch it again

At the very WORST, he was on the line. But there is no way they could've called him off

Get hopping. I, a Blues supporter, am quite satisfied that Slater was onside.

I thought you were talking about the Carlaw try. The carlaw try was bullshit, but the slater try was fine.

Sigh.... whinging... and you blamed the few that were whinging after the golden point game.

QLD deserved to win.

As a NSW fan I found nothing wrong with the Carlaw try, Tahu dropped the ball and Gidley took the wrong option. As for the Slater Im still not certain about it, I thought he was offside.

But you cant blame the loss on dodgy ref decisions.

Bring on Game 3 the decider.

I need to have another look at the replay. For mine, he looked just slightly off-side, but it may have been the camera angle. I was blowing up at the time though.

I've replayed the video twice now and I still believe that Billy was a foot in front of Lockyer. IMO the video Ref got it wrong. But in saying that it doesn't matter a shit. QLD won. The series decider will be played in NSW. You couldn't write a better script.

KFC are you on drugs? I'm a NSWelshman and I agreed with all the try calls 100%.

And I'm not sure what Gus is whinging about, there were a couple of 50/50 calls but they went both ways and none of them were major. I thought the ref did pretty well overall.
