On the Bulldogs forward pass:

The referee said it was a try on the condition that Parramatta had touched the ball. The video ref reviewed and said 'nope, they didn't' -> just because Rabs and Gus can't fathom that the referee sees it as forward if the Eels didn't touch it doesn't mean that scenario is inconceivable....

I thought the pass was forward, but Chicken legs hedged his bets by asking if it was touched.
VR can't rule on forward pass so because it went up try, should have stayed try.

The video ref went off the touchies call when he yelled out forwad pass and Feckin didn't hear it.

It was Feckin's fault. He didn't check with his assistant ref or touchie.

I thought it was backwards though.

The video ref was checking a touch from a Parra player to see if he forced the ball free or something in the action of Kasiano passing.

I'd don't know Feckon was watching!!!!!!!

Feckin didn't even check with the touchie or assistant ref. He has no idea.

Hopefully for the sake of it being the same for all teams this never happens again. Once you go down this road it's just opening a can of worms. If you think it's forward you can still go to the video ref to check if the other team touched it. Just call it no try first.

Plenty wrong with the way it was handled. Cecchin didn't consult with the touchie until after the referral which was an error in itself. Regardless of what caveats he placed on it going upstairs as a try, it can't come back with a forward pass ruling. If he wanted that outcome it should have gone up with a no try ruling.

Either way, the side on angle shows it come backwards out of Kasiano's hands so the whole point is moot, the try should have been given. Cecchin stuffed up.

they could still have ruled it a knock on regardless of what the touchies or ref said

Well old Chicken legs shouldn't have sent it up at all.

You can't recall the referral once you've made it.

The bunker went with the live touchies call that Feckin didn't hear and Feckin didn't even ask the touchie.

Feckin made a blew. Feckin is hopeless.


I remember last season in Round 16 when Souths played Manly and Gray scored from a pass that was a metre backwards.

Feckin went to the video ref and said I have no try, check on that forward pass please. I was lmao:lol::lol::lol::lol:

That's not within the rules though. Once it gets sent to bunker, they cant rule on a forward pass period.

Agree with this...

I don't understand why they are looking at whether Parra touched the ball or not?

Kasiano has either passed it forward or not, whether Parra touched it is irrelevant.

The idiot from the Bunker (Archer?) was still talking about this after the game...

He already sent it up before consulting with his touch judge. That's the f**k up from the referee.

The only thing that changed was that it took longer to get to the decision that the touch judge originally made.

Just remembering while people are raging about the decision, the Bulldogs only had the ball there because Josh Reynolds got away with stripping it out of Semi's hands.

Yeah well Feckin is very inconsistent on the stripping ruling.

As I've said, the guy has no idea. Hopeless.

He should be refing Ron Massey Cup. That's me putting it nicely.

Well, no, the rules state that a video referee can make a ruling on any try scoring play. (funny enough, nothing in the guidelines about not ruling on forward passes)

The Bunker weren't asked to rule on a forward pass. They were asked to rule if Parramatta touched the ball. Which they didn't.

Duuurrrrrrr, we know that.

We ain't dumb you goose.

The bunker went with the live touchie call that Feckin missed on field.

They were looking for a Parra touch too which Feckin told them to look at.

I understand what happened.

It's obviously beyond you as usual.
