Chad’s was a good decision.

He was about to catch it & all he had to do then was fall over. His hands were held back causing him to drop it.

As I said elsewhere, if it was Dugan, they wouldn’t have given it as he dropped the simplest of pickups early in the game.

Yeah, I thought it was an easy decision. Commentators weren't concerned at all in the coverage.

The one we got against Newcastle was obviously controversial, but if that is a standard they'll set I'm good with that. Cynical fouls against players about to score should not be "rewarded" with only a penalty (though you could argue two of them this year have just been unlucky timing from defenders).

I think the interpretation of denying a try scoring opportunity is best.

The old had to be certain of a try being scored was open to all sorts of interpretation.

Some panthers fans think it wasn’t even worthy of a penalty. Lol.

I thought it was a penalty try because it was chad.
And if it had been anybody else we definately wouldve scored.


Just jokes CT lovers. Settle.

I think cynical tackles (worse than what we saw last night) should be a penalty try AND a 10 min breather as well.

Crack down and deliberate cheating.

I actually thought the players going to the bin last year for deliberate penalties inside the ten was great as well.
