That Call

People are always going to bite back when people start whinging that they only lost due to refereeing decisions. This forum is ridiculous at the moment.

Perhaps you need some perspective. It's just a game and some harmless fun. No different than Queenslanders posting boxes of tissues.

Might want to put this point to some of your fellow New South Welshman. They seem to be taking tonight a little hard ; )

That's fine with me. Inglis lost control and the ball hit the NSW player's foot. It didn't look like it went forward so Inglis regathers the ball and scores. Try.

Bad luck to us.

Farah kicked the ball, Inglis grounded it.
Birds excellent tackle should never have been penalised, that was the worst call of the game.

Refereeing in general was terrible. The Jennings sin bin was understandable, but the game was far too slow because both sides were lying over the ruck. The refs need to blow a penalty for it early to stamp it out for the game. Last night was so slow...

Word just in from the Foxsports studio, referee must have been watching Standard Definition.

When I first saw the replay...I thought definet no try.. And then I realized Farah was playing at the ball with his foot....Try.

The Bird penalty was unlucky but the attacking player was lifted past the horizontal...thems the rules now days.

As for Jennings....Dog

It's laughable that Farah played at the ball. Of course it looks like that at one frame per second! Look at it in normal time, if Farah played at the ball he must have one of the fastest reflexes of all time.

f**ktard Terry Kennedy on the Roast on Sunday "No-one talks about the referee after the game"?????

NSW now own two awards however, King of Divers (Ben Kennedy) and Michael Jennings Worst Dog Act at Origin Level.

Regardless of whether Farah played at it or not, how did the ball end up in front of Inglis for him to dive on it.
He clearly knocked it forward with his arms.

Putting aside anyones view on the matter, you can't say REGARDLESS of whether a player played at it.

Thats the whole crux of the decision.

I thought this thread was going to be about that ridiculous decision to award a try to Uate after he clearly knocked it forward into Boyd, which was easily the worst call of the night.

Is that not what we're discussing?

That argument doesn't work. You could then say he knocked it forward with his arms because of Farah dislodging the ball illegally with his boot. It's like when the ball is stripped from a player but bounces forward - that's not called a knock on, because it was caused by the defender dislodging the ball.
