Was Thorn On Side?

[Kiwi]

Take out the Thorn try we are back to NSW going into half time in front. Different story again.

Take out the Mini offside and the dodge penalty and QLD lead 6 - 0 at halftime. Award the fair Williams try and QLD lead 12 - 0 and NSW carry on pushing the pass and panicing like they did when QLD hit the front in the first half.

But none of that happened, NSW had all the ball in the second half and rightfully dominated because of it. NSW won, and we go into game 3 with it being a decider. Which is better than it already being wrapped up one way or the other. Game 3 now means something and should inspire both sides to play their best. No one should complain about that.

The only thing that i'll be ignoring from game 2 is all the Johns hype.

Still as blind as always

Get your eyes checked.

The pass wasn't forward, but like I said none of that matters, we go into game 3 one all. I'd rather that over a 2 - 0 to QLD with game 3 being a dead rubber.

Oh and i've had my eyes checked, they said my eyes are fine and to let you know your seeing eye dogs glasses are ready you can collect them ;-)

:lol:

and the dodge penalty

:lol:

NSW dominated, I thought Lockyer to Berrigan was more sus then Berrigan to Williams...but meh same result.

Thorn was onside...so was Minichello.

Don't forget QLD got two soft penalties...so that makes up for the Anasta/Petero penalty.

Game 3 is going to be a completely different game though, hopefully QLD will bring in more forwards...and drop McGuire.

NEW NOMIMEE FOR DUMBEST POST OF THE YEAR

shows you ignorance to rugby league doesnt it.
Tries change games. QLD could have been up 18-8 and they may have well gone on with it. The whole pattern of play changes. Some people dont realise that....those are the people (you) who have no idea about league

I think the operative word here is "could"... They weren't mate, get over it.

 

[The Vern]

Just watched the game again and Thorn was clearly offside by about half a meter.

just using it as an example.
QLD lead 18-8 and its a different game. Tries change games...anyone who thinks differently is kidding themselves. League is not MS word where you can cut and paste.

 

[Lungman3]

Lockyer kicked from a metre outside the 10m line. 3 QLD players, including Thorn, were standing ON the 10m line. Clearly offside.

It is a different game, but whos not to say that New South Wales wouldn't have won by more in those circumstances?

Give up on this 'what if' crap. The decisions were correct so I don't see what you are proving.
