Superthread LXV - Honouring Alex McKinnon

[BunniesMan]

We had a lead. We blew the lead.

There's another side to the argument.

I don't see the relevance of how big the lead was. Would it be different if you were down by 20 only to come back and be ahead and then lose after the end of the game like that?

i'm on the other side of the world and i just got a chill thinking about her being mad..

it takes a lot to make her mad.

she never even got mad with me.

She rarely gets mad with me. Truth be told all I was trying to do was spare the life of the poor woman at the desk in Detroit. If Mrs SMBN was to get going no force on earth could stop her.

Seriously I'm 110% with the Dragons on this. I hate them like any good person does but they deserve the 2 points.

What happens if the clock malfunctions or the buzzer malfunctions and they play for another minute? 2 minutes? 5 minutes?

Also in our game a couple weeks ago the ref stopped the play in the middle of a game to check with the video ref to see if a 40/20 happened. And they couldn't take the time to properly check if the game was over?

Melbourne do not deserve the 2 points. St George do.

It's a dangerous precedent. Is it only relevant because the decision was wrong at the completion of the game? What if they'd had an extra play at the end of the first half and scored?

A while back, North Sydney lost 22-2 to Sydney City. At one point, however, a Jason Taylor penalty goal was incorrectly put down as a miss and later shown to have been successful.

At the time it was missed, it would have given Norths a 4-0 lead. The entire complexion of the game could have been changed. Should they have been given the points given they found out after the fact that they were wrong?

Or do we only care about this when it's a team losing the game at the death?

To me, thats a different question. Its like Dugan's no try v Souths two weeks back - noone knows if the game would have changed if he had been given it.

The problem here is we actually have (in my recollection) the first instance where we know for sure the difference one 'play' makes. If the ref calls time, they don't score and we win. The ref allows time to go on, and they do score and they do win.

So for mine, its a discussion about whether the NRL adjudicates to allow one play to be omitted or retained in the game. Since there was going to be no more plays after this, we know for certain that it would not change the complexion of the game, simply the result.

Its very black and white - either we grant the play the ball and the result it ends up in, or we do not grant the play the ball and endorse where the game should have ended up.

Simply put: the Dragons are shit out of luck. If the NRL gives them two points for losing the game, and it was their poor defense that lost them the game, it's setting a very shitty precedent.

 

[dogslife]

Bulldogs should get the points from the Dragons game in '09.

They just won the minor premiership.

We need to replay the 2009 finals series.

07 and 09 should be replayed TBH without Melbourne in it! The team that came #9 should be the 8th team in the finals!

Defence that should never have been tested at that point in time.

This is the problem. If the play doesn't occur, the defence doesn't happen.

Agree. Does that mean we get Wayne back? :sarcasm:

 

[Misanthrope]

I'd like to replay every Origin series in which Greg Inglis played for a state for which he was not eligible.

YeS!

If you merkins get two points we want last years finals series replayed after the seven tackle game last year

Not our fault that Greg Eastwood decided to roundhouse kick Jamie Soward in the head...

Hardly Eastwood's fault Soward has a head that just screams "roundhouse me!"

 

[Misanthrope]

His head matches his disposition. What a surly little gnome.
