That Call

Would have to of been the worst decision I have ever seen, even if Farah did play at it the ball it was ricochet back into Inglis's arms who knocked it on again.

All that matters to me is that my club's players got through without injury.

The fact that Gould was upset and that Ricky Stuart failed again are free bonuses.

It's a try for your life.

In my opinion it's as clear as day A try and I will explain why.

Example, In general play under the rule book a defender cannot play at the ball in order to force a knock on, Counter wise if correct call is made, It should be 6 again if that defensive player fails to control the ball in the attempt of stealing it.

It was ruled that Farah played at the ball in order for it to be dislodged from Inglis which is perfectly legal in the event of trying to stop a try. Inglis does not touch the ball and if he did it was a torso touch after he is kicked out of his hands.

Therefore, It's a green light.

Lol! Bird pulls off the best tackle of the night & referees penalise it for dangerous!

What a joke rugby league has become.

If Slater had led into a tackle with his legs like that you New South Welshman would be calling for his head.

You believe Farah was playing at the ball?

First of all, I don't believe Farah played at it.
Secondly, Inglis placed it on Farah's leg, Farah didn't have a go at it.
Finally, and most importantly, after it hit Farah's leg it went back into Inglis' arm, onto the ground and then he dove on it.
Never ever has those circumstances led to a fair try.

It was bullshit and if you need to review it 50 f**king times it just confirms that it was bullshit 50 f**king times.

Disgusting decision.

One of several that combined effectively ruined the game for me.

I thought it was an enjoyable game and NSW mostly went well. Not fussed about losing as I think there is a good foundation there for future wins. Qld are a very good side but got lucky tonight. You can clearly see Farah wasnt playing at the ball by the position of his head. He was looking at Inglis, not the ball. Anyone who says he was deliberately kicking the ball is blind or incompetent. No sour grapes from me, refs make bad decisions all the time. But that was a howler. They'll admit it in a few years time.

Q'land got lucky? Did you see the NSW tries? Hardly well constructed free flowing acts of RL! NSW game plan, hit the ground on your knees, up quick, one out run, hit the ground on your knees, repeat 4 times, kick the ball high and hope. Aside from the Jennings break did they construct anything?
