Clear double movement. Crazy.
As bad as that forward pass they missed that lead to Brisbane's try. Clearly 1mtr forward. How did they miss it?
At least the rod is there for any forward pass (that one was marginal at worst) that the video ref can’t review it. The video ref reviewed Kenny’s and still thought it was fine

Graham Annesley on Monday

Technically its a double movement but there was enough momentum in there we are happy to back the referee's & bunkers decision to give it a try.
The Paul Kent rugba leeg drama means 100% there’ll be another incident this week (probably us) and it’s called double movement. You can cop an onfield ref, maybe carrying unconscious bias, making a mistake, but someone watching it 10 times from 5 angles and still coming up with try is gross incompetence bordering on corruption. Everyone knows it’ll happen again and it’ll be called a different way

It wasn't marginal. It was clearly forward. But yes can't review. And these things get missed all the time so fair enough. Plus the game was over by then.
Double movement was mind boggling and at a time when it was game on still.

It was marginal.
Piakura is kindly on field marker.
Passer is in front of it.
Piakura catches the ball in his right hand.
Ball in flight appears to be angled backwards
His next step when he has the ball certainly isn’t going to take him a metre in front of passer, thus marginal.
I wouldn’t want it called against us but obviously would be annoyed if we were defending it.
Smugs are just crowing about it to take heat off the horrendous Kenny try.

Not necessarily. I've been on plenty of jobs where people are all getting paid the same. Some work harder and have far better output and energy. The suggestion that success is only related to money is absurd. I'm sure it plays a part but foolish to suggest this is the main dominoe
These aren’t CFMEU merkins. In pro sports the best performers get the most money, meaning the richest clubs get the best people. Sometimes a poorer club can take a big loan to poach some better people temporarily and then pay for it afterwards. Look at the Dragons since Bennett left.
