Ref and Bunker Decisions

I love how the idiot Queenslanders think they got dudded. The ref could have gone to town on them with the way they kept holding the ball carrier down on the ground. Idiots.

Ahh. New South Wails. Even when they win you whine.

And here was me thinking you'd be happy having brought your series win rate for the last 20 years up to 30%.

Bunker chooses not to look at the broncos knocking the ball over the dead ball like. Replay confirm it. Ref says no challenge time is up after Frizelle sees it on the big screen. What do the bunker look at

Kenny on Katoa is not a penalty imo.

If that is the rule, the non-offending side should have the choice for the location of the penalty. Easier kick where the offence occurred than where the ball landed. The rule was about yardage gain but in the modern game, crossfield kicks are so common, it should be changed.

DCE prevents the Titans from scoring by grabbing a leg to prevent a quick play the ball, no professional foul, no sin bin and 60 seconds later Manly race down the other side and score.

Speaking of "choose your advantage", in the first half, Panthers winger jumps from the in goal, and catches the ball on the full despite being tackled in the air.

Ref penalises. Panthers get a free kick 1m from the sideline, 10m out from goal line. Due to the angle of the kick, Panthers only make ~10m with the kick.

So instead of 20m tap from the centre and 7 tackles, Panthers get a 20m tap, 10m in and only 6 tackles.

Surely the greater advantage is the 7 tackles set?

Annesley flagged the return of the Disruptor during his weekly review after the Disruptor non call in the Cowboys v Bulldogs match . In April this year he actually stated that the referees need to look at the eyes of the chaser ,amongst other indicators, to determine if a player is disrupting a contest. The mind boggles.

I have been watching rugby league since 1970 and the current standard of refereeing is diabolical , without doubt collectively the worst that I’ve ever seen. Prepare for a barrage of penalties over this week’s round for anything that even vaguely resembles a disruptor . BTW , what are these mysterious “other indicators?” NRL fans should be afraid. Very afraid .

If the season so far is anything to go by, it’ll only be the Sharks that get pinged for it, seems to have been the way so far this year.

When they brought in this stupid rule , chasers were often getting penalised when they mistimed their jump or didn’t come down with the ball even though often they were genuinely looking to regain possession. Overzealous referees keen to meet their KPIs kept ruling a penalty. After about a 2 months of this ridiculous interpretation , chasers stopped contesting kicks (apart from try scoring opportunities) because the risk of a conceding a penalty and losing field position was too high. This was having a detrimental effect on the game as a spectacle and the rule appeared to be unofficially consigned to the scrap heap . Until now.

Largely unofficially consigned to the scrap heap…. They still found time to ping the Sharks randomly a couple of times

With DCE drop out tactic coming to a head this week, and Annersley saying the rule is 100 years old and is irrelevant because players use to toe poke shows the ridiculous things he is coming up with to attempt to save face.

I remember a game in the last year or two where a player (I think it was Gutho) lined up for a short kick off on the wrong side of the 50m line and the Ref told him he couldn't under the rules of the game.
