I cant remember the exact point of the game it was because I think i was up to 8 or 9 by the time it occured but in the Dragons v Storm game, Saints did a brilliant kick chase and had the Storm pinned about 5m out from their tryline in the corner.
Quinn was tackled in a dominant fashion then before he played the ball jumped up and in front and out to the right a cpl of feet and played the ball.
Ive seen Quinn do this quite a few times in his career.
The referee yelled out "Anthony play your mark!" Obviously sighting the player did not play the ball on the correct mark.
The Melbourne dummy half runner sensing an opportunity, darted from dummy half and was brought down quickly by the Dragons marker.
The same referee then quickly chose to penalise the Dragons marker defence for being offside.
The Storm kicked for touch and started a new set on their 40m line
My question is.....
What the f**k happened here???
IMO that is a massive amaturish blunder. How could a referee see and acknowledge an illegal play, choose not to penalise it, then from that illegal play another event occurs, choose to penalise the defending team!
I was livid!!!
