The Bunker

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Textbook double movement.

Yes he does, you can clearly see him raise his arm carrying the ball & promote it over the line.

Correct decision IMO, although it was extremely close. Live I first thought try, TBH it was close enough I wouldn't have too fussed if it was awarded.

Nice selective quoting numbnuts.

The rel;evant part is 3) He doesn't reach out (promote the ball) AFTER the torso stops moving (i.e. momentum has stopped).

The relevant point was that the tackle is not complete until his momentum is stopped.
By that stage his torso was in the in-goal.

But once his arm has hit the ground from that point on he cannot make any attempt to promote himself. If momentum takes him over the line so be it.

Not according to the rules.

The bunker is a massive improvement on speed of decions, well done NRL.

 

[Paullyboy]

Yep. Didn't stop them gifting Merrin a try today, or f**king over Leilua, but at least it's a quick rape nowadays so you can get on with it quickly

Jennings created extra momentum by pushing off the ground with his arm.
It was a double movement.

The bunker camera feed absolutely f**king sucks balls when you're at the ground.

You can hardly see shit with the four camera view, and the one with six cameras is just a total waste of time.

 

[Paullyboy]

Haha wow. The bunker has fallen into a heap today. Massive knock on by the Tigers somehow missed. Arguably the most obvious knock on you'll ever see.

I tipped the Tigers, but you can see why people can't trust referees in our sport. Absolutely amazing.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

The bunker is broken

 

[user_nat]

Bunker had a good run. Bring back the magic 8 ball.

 

[Card Shark]

Luke Patten has always been a shit video ref.

The bunker cant save him.

 

[Light Reflections]

At the end of the day it still comes down human error. The bunker isn't some mystical entity.

 

[Paullyboy]

I find it impossible to believe that anyone can put that tigers try down to human error. Not even the most one eyed tiger could look at you straight faced and think that was the right call. Absolutely astonishing that a supposed professional came up with that.

 

[Card Shark]

The better team won... Can't give a team a 24 point head start & hope to win.

 

[wittyfan]

It didn't take long for the bunker to fail!

Both those decisions were 100 percent correct though

Ashley Klown went upstairs with no try. You have to find conclusive evidence to over turn that, no? It was knocked on clear as water by old mate from the Tigers. It was an appalling decision.
