RIP NRL

[Valheru]

Carcharias making a strong case to become permanent LU village idiot, if he isn’t already. Fmd, there’s a padded cell somewhere with your name on it.

40 pages debating whether or not the Raiders were robbed and the same arguments being stated ad nauseam, with neither side budging.

One thing that most people are overlooking is how big the call was in the CONTEXT of the game. It was the 72nd minute with the score locked up at 8-all iirc. People saying the Raiders wouldn’t have scored if they had the extra 6 tackles blah blah... who said they needed to? They would’ve been in a great position to score a field goal at least, which would leave the Roosters with 7 odd minutes to score at minimum a fg also.

BUT, the biggest point most people are missing is that the Roosters scored only seconds after the 6-again bs. Sure the Raiders should have defended the set better but they were probably still in a daze from what just happened, and the fact is, the Roosters shouldn’t have even had the ball! Who knows if the Raiders didn’t even score a point to take the lead with the extra tackles they were ruled to have earned, if the Roosters would have. Maybe it goes to extra time, or any number of pther possibilities. The fact is we will never know and Canberra weren’t given the opportunity to determine the outcome, because the refs did instead.

They didn't get to put in a 2nd kick and it should never have been 6 again in the first place.

If they were in a 'daze' because of that in a GF then they are mentally fragile and deserved exactly what they got.

what makes it worse than this one where the warriors were awarded a try to a player that was quite obviously in touch?

Because once that decision was made it stood.
As completely wrong as it was, the game continued with that shit call standing.
It would be like letting them take the conversion, and then when Penrith were about to kick off again saying ‘that call was wrong, even though we awarded the try, we’re going to take it off you’.

So according to the mopes at Fox sports it was one of the worst decision in NRL history really??? Who thinks it is??

or the one where Morris was in touch when he passed it.
There was an actual a try awarded off that... in a grand final.

This in comparison was nothing.

If that happened, if exactly what you just wrote happened, do you think absolutely anyone would have complained about the refs correcting a bad decision in such fashion?

besides which, it would be the equivalent of the try being awarded, then the video ref realising he’d pressed the wrong button and immediately flashing up no try on the board and asking the ref to correct his signal before the conversion was attempted

 

[Canard]

Good stuff a gay joke.

The joke you tell when you are completely out of material.

That's very homophobic of you.

We certainly should have been given time to set our line at a minimum but that would take Cummins having the sack to admit he made an error.

But he did in fact call 6 again so you know...we should have got 6 tackles. Why downplay this error ?

You had a solid 25 seconds from when Wighton was tackled to when we played the ball. Your line was set

he didn’t call 6 again
Why do you blokes keep saying that?
He asked into his on field mic “is that 6 again”?
Yeah he waved his arm but he didn’t call 6 again.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Yeah he waved his arm but he didn’t call 6 again.

What does that usually indicate?

 

[carcharias]

What does that usually indicate?

What does last tackle being yelled out 4 times indicate?

 

[Captain Apollo]

What does last tackle being yelled out 4 times indicate?

I think you will find he yelled it out 5 times in total.

 

[Lambretta]

Most rugby league fans have absolutely no sympathy for Roosters, Broncos or Storm, and I have absolutely no idea why....

Because we're merkins

Didn't answer my question...

I’d dare say the Warriors would.

I, along with everyone, would rather the refs got it right in the first place. But once a decision is made, it can’t be overturned, barring foul play/penalty.

The 6 to go which was overturned was an unprecedented monumental f**k up.

 

[carcharias]

Didn't answer my question...

Waving indicates 6 again
I’ve not once denied That he did that.
However he did not verbally call out 6 again.
Can you admit that?
Can you also admit he gave multiple verbal and hand signals letting the raiders know it was last tackle?

 

[Game_Breaker]

You had a solid 25 seconds from when Wighton was tackled to when we played the ball. Your line was set

Doesn’t matter if they had 2 hours to set their line
The rules don’t allow for that to happen

There was a mutual infringement, so scrum feed to the Raiders

If you want to apply the rules when the ball hits your trainers head then you should also apply the rules when the ref illegally changes his call

 

[Pete Cash]

he didn’t call 6 again
Why do you blokes keep saying that?

Yeah he waved his arm but he didn’t call 6 again.

As has been explained to you multiple times waving the arm is calling 6 again. Everyone understands this besides you carch so you have to start thinking this is a you problem

The refs have signals for a reason

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Waving indicates 6 again

Ok so the Raiders players should have expected Cummins to break the rules and change the decision?

 

[Pete Cash]

Mate, ive literally never seen this happen in a game of rugby league before. I keep asking people to find examples of it but im yet to see one.

So it would have been fair for the refs to stop the game and explain to hodgson that he (cummins) is a big dumb twat who completely bottled the call and he is bizarrely going to go against the rules of the game and give the ball to the roosters but lets take our time.

Cummins wasnt even man enough to admit that he had called six again though.
