Ramsey No Try

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

The ball did go backwards. They just didn't bother to look for whatever reason. Sharks had all the calls go their way and were also able to create more luck for themselves by playing the conditions and respecting the ball more.

I just find it difficult given that in July last year two refs lost their position for handing the Sharks a try that wasn't when Dufty had grounded the ball. Lost the game by 4 points. It completely turned the game yesterday. Heaven forbid it were to happen to the Storm or Roosters but we just cop it, twice.

It's embarrassing for the game and majorly costly for us.

From what I saw even if it was a no try at very least it was a double knock on, Sharks first meaning we should have got the ball back. On another note though Ramsey is an absolute ripper.

How about Wood’s try. Clearly pulled down short of the line, sent up no try with ref believing it was short of the line, his momentum is stopped then a sneaky little lift to get the ball on the line and video ref says momentum got him to the line. Pleeeaaassseee. The video ref screwed us multiple times last night

Yep and Im pretty sure Wood said to their trainer no try

Anyone heard how he is ......sorry if its already reported on here somewhere

I think the rule has merit, but only for the howlers. Not for the ones that you have to watch 20 times, in slow motion, and it is still indecisive.

The commentators on ABC radio both said double movement as soon as that was scored.

If we keep getting the Bunker overruling awarded tries as in the Ramsey case the fans will stop cheering when a team scores because it night be overturned. It would be a bit embarrassing screaming your head off then they say aaah no try. Stupid, stupid rule. Any uncertainty and it should be sent to the Bunker before any try is awarded.

Wade Graham is almost as bad as Cam Smith at getting in the refs ear all game too.

Yeah, I kinda get pissed off with the “chummy” behaviour between Wade Graham and the ref. Clearly last night it could be argued that it influenced the refs decisions.

I happened to make the same comment to a mate during the match

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Well I guess it’s unpredictable!

Having said that, can’t wait till they start throwing hankies on the ground and going to video screens to check on penalties. Now there’s excitement!!

Congrats Mills on your win......

Thanks for confirming what I thought. 1st we’re screwed for the Ramsey try, bunker overturns refs on field decision then the same again with Woods, sent up short no try and over turned again. f**k off Steve Chiddy ya muppet

Hook said he should be right but haven’t heard anything official.

Congrats Mills on your win......

Thanks BSE but I choose to just quietly let it ride. Find the derbies difficult as prefer a draw lol

Thanks mate some of these ankle jobs can be bloody difficult....particilarly high end ones

The Sharks definitely have a more cohesive side than us. Morris has done a good job. It will take several months to maybe a season to get this side clicking after years of chopping and changing.

I think even Woodsy was surprised the try was awarded going by his shock look on his face. So many dud and unfair calls went against us last night and with so many other calls over years and years - maybe I'm being over exaggerating but it seems that way.

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

I reckon Woodsy’s was a try though.

 

[kit66]

Anyone know how J.Hunt, Ford and Ellis went in reserves ?
I wasn't impressed with Poasa's turn out. It might be good to carry 4 forwards on the bench for the trip to NQ, they're a big side with plenty of grunt off the bench.

The interesting part of that try / no try is I thought the ball went backwards off Birds forearm so play on for me.
Also I thought that Bird got the ball down quickly in the corner but for some reason they were only showing footage from the far side of the ground.
Maybe I’m one eyed so please correct me if I’m speaking utter sh!t.

You are 100 % correct. I was only 2 metres away on the fence where Ramsey scored.
the ball went BACKWARDS from bird, it was a legit try.
But once again we get ripped off by the dodge incompetent referees.

I noticed than none of the 'contentious" bunker decisions made it on to Annesley's weekly review.
You would have thought that given the impact they had on the game they would have been front and centre.
Instead we got:

Tupouniua's try which became a no try by the bunker, which should have been a try, with the explanation of being too technical. This situation had little impact on the game btw with the Roosters winning 46 - 4

Mimorovsky's try which became no try. Fair enough, but pretty clear cut decision. Also had little impact as Panthers won 24 - blot

Captains challenge which was overruled by the bunker which shouldn't have been. Again no impact on the game.

Pretty poor selection of videos tbh, yes decisions highlighted how they get things wrong and occasionally right but these weren't highly contentious ehich severely impacted the result of a game.
Maybe 3 blatant errors was too much to explain and would have the Dragons fans breathing more fire at the NRL.
It will be interesting which game/s Chiddy bunkers down on this coming round.

The annoying part in the Ramsey debacle was
1. Gough ruled a try on field
2. Badger the sideline official would have been in line with the play and obviously had no issue with it or Gough would have sent it up no try
3. Fox commentary said backwards off bird
4. The camera angle replay that Chiddy was talking his decision through was BEHIND the try line and in no way a reliable angle to say that the ball travelled forward off Birds arm.
Huge moment in the game and we had the Sharks down and out at that point of the game. Huge momentum killer.

I haven't replayed but watching it tonight on Fox commentators said Birds hand knocked the ball out of defenders arms with his hand ball going forward that's it what happens after that irrelevant.
PS and I bleed Red and White.

 

[boardlumps62]

Yes and no.
It was Bird’s initial contact with the hand that propelled the ball forward. His second touch was with his forearm and yes, that went backwards.

Correct call.

Yep that's what I saw on Fox tonight.
