I will now. Few kumara short of a Hungi, is this one.
LOL, you were the one caught editing posts to remove incorrect assertions, my adorable little friend.

You were the one claiming that people were being cowardly for avoiding topics of conversation when the evidence shows it was you, little guy.

Watching that Sezer replay its pretty clear to me he's not committing to a tackle, the way his arms are when Afoa runs into him and his reaction of him and his team mates say it all.

I thought we were lucky to get that Barba call initially but on replay I thought Ennis was doing his best to run our guy out of the way. He probably didn't need to do it tbh.

Unless we're playing NFL now, you can't have guys running in front of the bloke with the ball stopping defenders from getting to him. So yeah, I thought it was the correct decision.

Well they just keep one upping themselves... Rabbitohs robbed. Joe Burgess scored there... What a terrible call.

Greg Alexander is becoming the new Gould. slating the refs despite their decisions being correct.

They really should stop commentators from making "comments" on try/no try decisions. Just let the refs handle it and go with it. Instead, Warren and Brandy harp on about the decision in which they are clearly wrong and make out that Souths were robbed for the rest of the game. It's extremely unprofessional.

Well that's a bit silly.
They are there to commentate and give their opinions. Sometimes they are wrong, but you can't have them not talk about a controversial call.

They are there to commentate, they shouldn't be giving their opinions on referee decisions. The problem with league isn't refs calls, it's commentators who reckon they're above the refs and go against their calls causing controversy. Fans and the media jump on the bandwagon and all hell breaks loose. Ashley Klein even talked us through it saying the player lost possession of the ball and failed to regain it before grounding, and you've got the commentators blowing up because they reckon his fingers never left the ball. There's also a side on angle which shows the ref was correct and the commentators refused to comment on it. It's amateurish.

I'd rather listen to that than whatever bullshit Rabs and Gould are going on about... Half the match is spent talking about trains and horses...

lol yeah true. Warren Smith and Brandy are easily my favourite pair of commentators and even though they got it wrong last night it was still better than listening to Rabs and Gould.

Saw it on the news tonight & in slow motion, his hands MAY have left the ball.

Therefore go with the on field decision - what was that?
