They got that one right SSS but for the wrong reasons

Did I see LU tweet that the drop kick try was technically correct?

I feel the NRL justifies the expense of the bunker by directing the refs to refer to it as often as possible. You'd have to think with two touch judges and two refs there'd be nearly no reason to refer to the video unless a fan came on field and spear tackled both refs.

Gotta get the touchies off the donuts and winfields so they can get up and down the field faster.

And here we go for this week’s episode of “the bunker got it wrong”.

https://www.nrl.com/news/2018/04/25/referees-boss-admits-mistake-on-dragons-try/
Shit call but it's about time we had one go our way.

Dragons were the better side by a mile. Even if McDonald didn't score there's no way the Roosters were going to cross twice in ten mins.

But if this is a thread that condemns the bunker then hey count me in. I wonder if they spent another 10 million on it maybe there's a chance they'll get a few more calls correct.

People love to shit in the bunker whenever a bad call is made. But in reality, it get most decisions correct and it is making those decisions a lot quicker than before. If we had no bunker or video ref system we would be complaining 100x more about bad decisions

Yes that should have been no try, but without the bunker it still would have been given and there would have been another try awarded when the player dropped the ball about 1m above the ground

The right call was made. He had his finger on the ball which constitutes a try. I don’t understand the fuss.

Bizarre call that one. Can understand they get some of the line ball ones wrong but there was nothing line ball about that one. Just plain dropped it.

If you lose control you can’t ground it with a finger. You need to regain possession. Been that way for a while.

Clear no try.

Jared Maxmong. Not much more needs to be said really. One of the most incompetent buffoons to ever advertise OPSM. Wasn’t he sacked as a ref? How on earth did he get a go in the bunker. Who else they got? Kelvin Jeffes and Mogwai Jackwad?
