The double movement

[Stake Removed]

Bunker has came in, i cant see many improvements, it cost what $2-5M, i assume they made some of that money back not having to fly video ref's to each ground.

Over off season they need to get it sorted out once and for all, double movement, obstruction seems to be areas which are disaster.

When ref makes call on ground bunker needs conclusive evidence to overrule Saturday night on double movement it was not the reverse angle showed that.

They need to make the areas black and white even obsturction, and cut down on time to make decision

The thing that annoyed me the most about this whole game was the refs letting the Raiders lie all over us... Watch the replay if you can stomach it, how many times the ref called held and then the Raiders would ignore it and turn us on our backs. Was a f**king travesty/.

I'm thinking of an insult to yell at players who do this, who are within earshot of you, "Get off him (name of player) he doesn't want to have sex with you".

I'm Pretty sure what we used to yell would be politically incorrect these days. Maybe "book a motel room!!"

There was an interview done by someone this week with Greg "Hollywood" Hartley and he reckons that so many of the things that refs used to say to players in his day would not be allowed today. I reckon he'd be right!

it could have gone either way, the fact that the ref called no try and the bunker only looked at one view and ruled against it is what I don't understand.

Isn't it at least two or three camera angles to prove against the call?

If there were, why did we only see one? the bunker commenting on the angles certainly didn't suggest he was looking at others, I dont understand.

If the player gets tackled, momentum stops and elbows hit the ground, then he is held. If another player tackles him and pushes him over, either they call it back and play the ball or give them the penalty for flopping on the player.

I also dont understand how the rapana try was given the fact he had no control of the ball, wasn't that the ruling at the beginning of the season?
