Yeah, because you didn't have 37,000 chances after that point to win the game anyway, and continually derped.

:lol: because that's the point there. Lot of Dragons fans being shown up as massive hypocrites lately.

Maher is rampaging the hardest of any of the Dragons fans in the NRL forum. I don't enjoy trolling him as much.

It's the precise point we were hammered with ad nauseum by Dogs fans (and the usual horde of Saints haters that infest LU) in 09. An error during play where a team has a chance to overcome it is different to an error in the last minute where there is no opportunity to do anything about it.

Apples and oranges champ.

Soward puts on a tremendous acting performance, the refs have 85 looks at it and still get it wrong.

Merge fans copped a hammering because they maintained it was the correct call. I haven't seen a Storm fan claim this one to be correct.

Yeah, Storm fans have been pretty good re the incident. I think they know what the story is. And Saints have had incidents like this occur in the past ala Soward.

But this is quite unique due to the nature of the issue.

In the end, it is what it is - the NRL won't change it. I am just frustrated by the circumstances.

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?

I care about every wrong decision. However game results should only be overturned in the very rare situation where a clear external error leads to one result and you could say with 100% certainty that if the error was not made the other team would have won.

That happens maybe once in a decade. This is one of those times.
