RIP NRL

[ReddFelon]

That wasn’t high and not a clear try scoring opportunity

Wasn't high? He cracked him in the mouth with an outstretched arm.

 

[macnaz]

Lol raiders had first 4 penalties of 2nd half and a dubious sin bin and couldn't score

Legit penalties are fine BS ones

In fairness channel 9 did show a replay and Gould made comment to say the ref marking the ten signalled 6 to go before changing his mind about 5 seconds later after Canberra played to the original decision.

Anyway, yes RL has a bit of a grave to dig themselves out of after tonight and not to mention ticket prices. $40 for GA tickets to Leichhardt in round 25. Gimme a break

Explain what u mean about ticket prices ?

I think it was Leilua that lost the game for canberra.if he passed to rapana they score.bombed try!!!!

It was a real will chambers moment!

Got him around the chest is how I saw it

2. Disagree. Changing the call while the ball is still in play is wrong and sets a dangerous precedent.

His initial call was wrong. Leaving that aside, what would you have proposed he had done once he ruled 6 again?

If Raiders had gone through and kicked a repeat set we would still also be in uproar.

I'm not sure about the changing decisions, and I'm not sure what the NRL rules allow in such a case - my personal view is that if a referee realises the wrong call has been made, surely it would be fine to rectify it immediately. I've seen it happen in footy games I've played.

Raiders can whinge all they want but ultimately they had 54% of possession, the opposition lost a player early in the first half plus a sin bin in the second half and all Canberra could come up with was one try off a bomb. Not enough to beat the roosters and trying to blame the refs is just clutching at straws.

If you guys check out the greenhouse there is salt sure but most fans know it wasn't the refs that cost us. Even if we copped two unfortunate incidents

 

[Chook Norris]

Cant see into the future mate but we would have put on a better play if we had known it was the last tackle.

Well I don't disagree with you there. My issue is people jumping to conclusions and saying that it cost the Raiders the game (as they supposedly would've scored).

Was it wrong though?
It looked 50/50 and Teddy’s shoulder touched the ball

I’m happy with the 6 again call

Problem being of course in the confusion we had no idea the ref had changed his decision. It had a negative impact on our play

Certainly not claiming that.

 

[King hit]

Lmao everyone will be back next year as always with millions of tv viewers, players, supporters and the general public watching and supporting the game as ever before.

How come everyone thinks Rugby League will end

Oh I forgot you Pete.

Enjoy the off season. Lol at Canberra Raiders. Ain't no second prize buddy boy.

so what’s the point of this thread then?

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

I'm not sure which performance was worse..
Ben Cummins or One Republic.

Ryan James must be relieved he doesn’t look like the biggest goose

IMO we need to look at why he changed his call. From what I have seen, this has all resulted from having two referees on the field. Cummins only changed his call because Sutton got into his ear. I have personally never seen a game involving a single referee change his call whilst the ball is in play. I have seen them change it when the ball is not in play, such as a lost ball during the tackle where they initially call knock on but then get a call from the touch judge and change it to a penalty for hand on the ball or strip.

It had a huge impact at the time.

So did BJ Leilua not passing earlier and not getting back into position quick enough after tackling Cordner.

Last year in a tigers storm game it was 10 all late in the game. Tigers put a bomb up, there was a contest and it came back to Josh Aloiai, the ref ruled 6 again and he took the tackle, as he was being tackled the pocket ref suddenly yelled ‘last’ so Aloiai threw the ball wildly in the air. It was intercepted and the Storm made a 40m break downfield.

After the game it was admitted the referees mis understood each other, and it was 6 again. It’s very odd, but I can understand why Wighton didn’t then go to kick, even if he did here the ‘last tackle’ correction call.
