NYC grievances

[ozbash]

The game is played like the local footy down at the park,

no its not.

The next step up is NRL. These guys are young professionals heading for the big time.
They play in an intense comp, they have huge demands placed on them, why not expect the same sort of commitment from the officials/administrators ?

park footy, lol...

There'll only be one "park footy" Toyota Cup game this year and it'll be Bulldogs/Eels in R24. All others are played immediately before NRL matches.

I mean the refereeing is less policed than NRL levels, and with the referees in NRL today, that can only be a good thing for the NYC.

I love the lack of video referees in NYC. One thing it does, is force aspiring (and possibly future NRL) officials to make calls on their own judgement, not rely on captain replay to make the tough decisions. They wear the guilt for their f*ck ups and hopefully learn from them.
Added responsibility is something our First Grade referees could certainly do with.

And aside from that I really enjoy the lack of pissing about looking at freeze-frames for minute indiscretions.

Any idea when and where this will be played?

Both fair tries.

So no, it ended where I left it.

lol you're kidding, the 2nd one is the biggest knock-on I've ever seen

Even the normally super biased NZ commentators say that there was nothing wrong with the grounding.

That was Stephen McIvor. He doesn't commentate Warriors games, only under-20s, so you've probably never even heard him commentate before.

Clear knock on, the ball bounced about 3 metres in the air, lmao

Go see OPSM and get your eyes checked.

We can go on all day about this I guess. Can we get an independent non biased ruling on the following video...

Is it a knock on or not? Pumba perhaps?

I took a look at both them and IMHO they were both fair trys. If I was in the box I would have awarded them.

Pictures tell a thousand words as they say.

TRY!

TRY!

Click on the links to view. They are animated GIFs so they are quiet large.

The first is definitely a try.
The second IMO was a knock-on... although i can see reasoning for BOTD.

No Worries.

Maybe you should write to the NRL and tell them about me.

I do a better job then the Idiots they have at the moment :lol:

In the context of the way they rule on the separation, first one is a try and the second one is too blurry to see properly.

Saint's Hudson is my only major grievance. The blokes an a grade grub and makes Gallen look like an alter boy. The prick is constantly hitting blokes high, engaging the niggle in the tackle, he doesnt like being hit hard and legal either. He's a merkin.

:lol:

He made one swinging arm in a tackle against your club three weeks ago and your knickers are still in a twist about it.

He hasn't played a game since :lol:
