Hayne put his foot on the line TWICE. What me me laugh was Gould saying BOTD. I reckon Harrigan replayed it so many times just to rub it in.

That front on angle tells us nothing because it's impossible to determine if the back of his foot touches the line or is indeed even on the ground from that angle.

Take a look at the side/rear angle where you can see his foot never touches the line.

Hollywood at his finest.

Shocking call.

So Hayne scores, NSW gets complacent and Qld puts 30 on them... it's all hypothetical.

It's history, suck it up and get ready for the next one.

Nah. As a video ref, if you see that much boot covering the line you have to think part of it is touching the ground. I think he made the right call

Point is, it was evened out with Creagh's 'try' and doesn't matter anyway as the better team won on the night.

Doesnt really matter whether Hayne scored or not. In my opinion it should have been a try.

It had 0 ZERO bearing on the result of the game though. QLD far superior and if that had of been called a try maybe NSW wouldnt have even got the lucky tries that they did manage to score off extremely low percentage flukey bounces of the ball from kicks.

I commend a referee for taking a stand against an incompetent touch judge and not awarding a penalty against NSW for the Slater dive. Another reason why Karmichael Hunt should obviously be the starting fullback for QLD.

It's great that instead of looking at where your team can improve for Game 2 and level the series, you're blaming the ref for a game you got outplayed in.

And by-the-bi, you have to pass the ball *backwards* in rugby league

Are you f**king kidding? IF the try is awarded then Queensland don't score their first try. Massive bearing on the game. Instead of being 6 or 8 nil infront NSW are 6-2 behind. QLD get a penalty then score off the next set.

Doesnt matter son. QLD were gonna put minimum 3 or 4 tries on the Blues regardless of who scores first try.

It was quite disappointing as this is the first State of Origin game EVER where I have not even felt slightly worried or got the heart rate up about the thought of losing the game. It was a mismatch. Maybe NSW need to bring back Mason and Omeley for game 2 at least it might add some passion if anything to the Blues even if they arent in form.

LOL u deadsh*t,, no QUALMS about it!!!! why did they look at it almost 12 times then if it was that clear cut ?? Can u tell me me if his heel was over the line and wether it actualy touched it or was 3 mm above it :x??? NO U CANT!!! So stop wanking on and talking crap. There was friggin DOUBT with a capital D, and just like 1989 GF Bill made his own f**king rule up and screwed a good game up before it even got going.


Boo F&*king hoo!! QLD 1-0 -yeah baby!!!!!!!!!!

It doesnt matter what a rear shot, above shot, reverse underwater infra red shot shows, as long as ONE shot clearly shows his foot touching the line like that shot does then thats all that matters. There can be no question

So that's why it took the video ref 7 replays to make a decision.

You summarise the age old question with the problem with the video refs. They look for a reason NOT to give a try rather than award one.

NSW had nothing. 18 pts flattered what NSW had in attack, good runs up the middle and then what ? Nothing. Game was over by the 20th minute due to NSW having no urgency, especially on that Thurston try.

1-0 b1tches.

This thread ignores the simple fact NSW played sh*te for 60 minutes and woke up to find they were still in with a chance.The Refs did not decide the game at all. Next game will be better.

Looks on the line to me, no question. I can't believe it took them so many replays to get it right.
Exactly.
LOL Some of you blokes are trying to convince yourselves people run on their toes:lol:
You cannot exert speed without pushing from your heel!

Christ, I hope you guys don't have careers in anatomy and physiology!

His foot is clearly on the line, barely on it but quite clearly...it was a hard call but the right decision.
I can honestly say some of you need to get some perspective with your sour grapes.
Another reason why Karmichael Hunt should obviously be the starting fullback for QLD.
:lol:

What did Hunt do?
What didn't Slater do? He was fantastic and his defence was outstanding - Hunt would have let in the tries that Slater saved.

In saying that Queensland were extremely disappointing last night and were lucky not to be embarrassed - Underperformed massively.

They got the square up with the Creagh try....My 6 y.o. son even picked up that if you pass the ball a metre from the try line and it lands a metre inside the in goal that it must be a forward pass...They got that one on a technacality

well you and your son need to learn the rules fella. If the ball is thrown backwards it is not a forward pass. The laws of physics well tell you that a ball thrown backwards can still travel forward.

Are you blind?

His heel 'appears' to possibly touch the line from the front on angle but the camera angle from behind shows Hayne's heel never touched the ground and hence never touched the line.

Don't talk bull$hit, the reverse angle doesn't show $hit, Haynes boots are out of the shot.

I think some of you people need bigger tv's, because on mine his heel definetly looks like it touches the sideline.
