The double movement

It did not decide the game.

It did however remove any chance of us getting the win.

It was right Infront of me and was definitely a penalty.

Can someone who saw it on tv tell me am I wrong?

They only showed one angle. Wasn't conclusive. There hasn't been any consistency week to week with that rule so I don't expect it now.

Looked like they reviewed it using one angle... when the decision was made they showed another angle which showed a blatant double movement.

Exactly. It was unbelievably blatant. So blatant it was obvious in real time. I couldn't believe he actually did it that's how obvious it was.

What makes it worse is the ref sent it up as a no try. So the Bunker had to prove 100% the ref is wrong to overturn the decision.

what do you expect

we are no longer the fairy tale story, not that we are to anyone but ourselves

the type of decisions and penalties going against dont surprise me

run the holmes try side by side with austins and tell me these merkins dont have an agenda to grind, you know striaght away by the language the bunker starts to use which way they want the call to go

this is just the beginning, baton down the hatches

I will have a look later but I was told last night that Austin was in the in goal area when he did his second movement, if this is true it is a fair try. Can someone check the replay?

Well he probably was but none of the replays we saw showed the ball when he was stopped.

In which case, go with the no try.

If the bunker are looking at different angles, well they shouldn't be - we should see exactly what they are watching, or would that be too simple?

That is what it looked like to me
He had a second go
But he was already across the line
But that was a no try a week ago

I just watched it on the highlights, all I will say is i agree.
In the last few weeks those ones have not been awarded as tries.
Were they wrong before, or were they wrong last night?
Who knows.

I was just listening to Zorbas segment on radio basically gave it to the bunker 2 tries the Rapana he lost control and the double movement try was a joke..

So, for me it comes down to whether I am watching it in real time from a side view at the incident's right hand side. I say this because if I watch it from the front view using frame by frame analysis or the rear view using 25 fps or an aerial view slowed to 10 fps I get a different opinion.

Closest I got was using the underground motion detector technology at normal speed. This little known about MOLE technology can sense the exact millisecond when motion about it has stopped. It can differentiate when motion has re initiated and can analysise this in relation to any white lines above it.

Now we don't all have access to MOLE but I do and it said pretty much.......

"I DON'T HAVE ANY FEKKING IDEA EITHER BECAUSE THE RULES ARE SO FEKKING UNCLEAR THE TECHNOLOGY CAN NOT PERFORM ANALYSIS. YOU HUMANS HAVE NO FEKKING HOPE!!"

Good luck

I had more of a problem with the dropped ball. But I'd had a few so who knows? Zero consistency by those merkins.

That imbecile in the bunker could not of made his decision any quicker in the Austen try if he tried. Any other time in a contentious incident as that they would of taken minutes before we hear 'we are going to the board'

It is a major worry to me with big games coming up in September. I don't trust the Karmichaels.

Also there were a lot of wacks around the noggins that did not get a mention from the eagle eyed bunker folk that have in the past got into the ear of the onfield whistle blowers. Gal come in for a lot of extra attention.

Wonder how it would of been if it was JT, Cronk or Cam getting whacked high.
