That Call

[Doga]

Worst call of the match was penalising Greg Birds beautiful tackle. Incidentally that also led directly to a QLD Try.

Well I have to disagree.
After it touches Farah's leg it clearly comes off Inglis' arms forward before he dives on it. On that alone a try can't be given.
It then comes back to whether Farah played at it (I don't think he did) if they rule he didn't it's knock on QLD.
If they rule he did, then they could award a penalty try or penalty QLD. A straight up try was clearly the wrong decision IMO.

Why? It was only dislodged because Farah struck the ball with his boot. Illegally.

A penalty try would only be awarded if Inglis hadn't grounded the ball. But he did, so they ruled it wasn't a knock-on as Farah's boot had dislodged the ball and Inglis recovered it.

No I don't.

I "reckon" Farah kick dislodged it from Inglis grasp, and Inglis re-gathered and scored.

Fair Try.

even IF Farah dislodges the ball from Inglis' grasp, how the hell does the ball go backwards from Farah's boot?? no one has explained that to me. If it went forward off Farah's boot and backwards from Inglis then fair try. If Farah had dislodged the ball with his hand then it would have been knock-on both ways.

It is clear that it is a no try, any day of the week that is a no try. You get tackled on the ball and it is dislodged and it goes forward from you it's no try.

He didn't recover it, it comes off his arms as a knock on.

 

[Frank_Grimes]

He didn't recover it, it comes off his arms as a knock on.

It came off his arm in the same action as Farah kicking it. Inglis never attempted to recover the ball until it was on the turf when he grounded it. You can't knock-on when you're not playing at the ball. He wouldn't have had a chance to even think about the ball until it was in front of him on the turf. When he grounded it.

The worst call of the game? NSW deciding to go for a long range penalty attempt in order to tie the scores at 12-12. They had Qld on the ropes and should have gone for a try.

I thought the refereeing was top notch.

 

[Raider_69]

this is what you dopey QLDers dont get

Even if i was to accept that Robbie Farah attacked the football with his foot, the referee STILL got the call wrong, because if in his mind Farah attacked the football with his foot, it should have been a penalty try and Farah should have been sin binned.

Any way you look at it, the referee cocked up
and frankly anyone suggesting that was a fair try has their head so far up their own **** backside, their opinions on the matter dont really count for much anyways, as i doubt you could see much from inside your own digestive system

The ball goes backwards off Farah's foot due to the angle of his boot. It doesn't touch Inglis again until he grounds it.

And I go for NSW.

Yes it can be called a knock on, just like when a player goes into a tackle when the attacker is passing it. if he touches it is is deemed 6 again because there is always intent on stopping the pass.

:lol:

 

[Canard]

The direction of the ball after it was played at by a defensive player is irrelavant, if it's a knock on its play on if regathered by the attacking team, its its a knock back its also play on (if regathered)

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

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

What a joke rugby league has become.

THAT was the worst call of the night. The two soft penalties leading to Qld tries were f**ked.

Cecchin is not even first grade standard let alone Origin

:lol:

Whinge more. f*cking baby.

 

[ShaiGuY]

Straight from Horse's mouth:
"Inglis didn't deny fumbling the ball.

"It was pretty much pure luck," Inglis said of his four-pointer that took him past Dale Shearer as Origin's leading try-scorer with 13.

"I didn't know the ruling on it.

"I knew I had fumbled it. I didn't know the foot was underneath, to be honest."

He doesn't say that Farah dislodged it but he fumbled it. You would know if someone kicked it out of your hand and he would have said so. Even if Farahs foot was underneath he is fumbling it forward off Farah which is knockon.

 

[Tweek]

It is Inglis you are talking about, doenst even know what state bowraville is in.

By golly you're right!

You wait here I'll go tell them to change the score!

 

[Kid]

I wasn't sure if it came off Farahs boot........thought it came off his shin, but i haven't had a chance to see it again. Either way once this happened, the ball goes into Inglis' forearm before being propelled forward. Therefore it was a knock on. As far back as i can remember the forearm is considered an extension of the hands, unlike the torso.
The correct decision was a knock on, what action the refs decided to take re Farahs part in it would then have been the next step.
Could NSW have won? Maybe, maybe not, the point is we will never know as any chance they had was taken from them right there.

 

[GongPanther]

I thought it was a try.

Not a fair try in the clearest (even the commentators were a bit dumbfounded and lost for words in what it was) sense,but a try.

farah's boot went for the ball as it showed best from the dead-ball camera shot and that made up my mind there and then when his boot deveaited towards the ball.

But overall,Qld were the better of the two sides in scoring passing tries that mostly were off NSW penalties and tus,NSW not havibng a structured defence as was Qld's.

The failing was at Utes side...NSW need size everywere including on the wing.

Actually I agree with that. It was like a 2 minute highlight from a Union match.
