Penalty Try

[KiamaSaint]

Did deserve a try? I have seen clearer ones not given.

In that situation 2 points and a sin bin may have been better for Souths. It will make no difference in the end, just interested in thoughts.

There there's been worse in recent history that havent been given a penalty try. Billy Slater has been guilty a couple times, and Cronk in Origin.

 

[Michael Bishop]

I thought it was a fair call. Inglis was clearly going to score.

 

[ironhorse]

Wouldnt have stopped Inglis on the boil from there . ...fair call .

The Cronk one illustrates the point about the sin bin. It worked in NSW's favourite not to have that given, although I agree it was more of a sure thing than the Inglis one tonight.

I think it was a fair call but its the inconsistency again.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Nobody can stop Inglis from there,fair call

It could be seen that Inglis and Fergo slid to just about the goal line. Give GI an extra step or two and a clean catch and he makes it easily. Correct decision.

 

[adamkungl]

Good decision

 

[Pete Cash]

Correct decision.

Didn't think the great Adamkungle would object to sarcasm with an insult. I apologize, please continue with your great positive posts about manly. I've enjoyed them.

 

[Eels Dude]

Correct decision. It'd be good if the refs were more consistent no doubt, but there has to be a starting point for consistency and hopefully this is it in regards to penalty tries.

 

[LineBall]

Correct decision.

Manly are sh*r.e.m.

 

[BunniesMan]

Correct decision. GI scores that 10 times out of 10. We happily get on the bandwagon and bitch every time they make a mistake, this time they were right.

I also didn't think it was a sin bin.

As for other similar ones not being given. Two wrongs don't make a right. Just because they've f**ked up at other times doesn't mean they should keep doing it wrong.

 

[Pete Cash]

I really don't see how it couldn't be argued it wasn't a penalty try. Even my homeboy Skeepe agreed in the game thread.

That should be the very definition of a penalty try imo. Could not be any more obvious Inglis would have scored that try without Fergusons foul play.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Fair call. Canberra player had a brain snap.

 

[The Eagle]

What was Ferguson allowed to do? was going to be a try anyway

Fair call. Canberra player had a brain snap.

The Canberra player's brain was functioning perfectly.
