My lol moment was the non-call of the Bromwich knock on in the 4th minute..

That wasn't a knock on. Mind you, can understand your confusion, it would have been called a knock on 99 times out of 100 in the NRL the past 20 years.

 

[horrie hastings]

I didn't even watch it

Same here

 

[Sphagnum]

Yep, that penalty try just set the tone for the season

This thread is about to get fun.

Well done refs

The wrestle is back baby. Both sides laying all over each other.

Mate, you were being generous.

I think we need to distinguish between the refs and the bunker.

Yes, the refs could have done better in the ruck, the sharks in particular were grubbing it up in almost every tackle but the bunker was outstanding with their penalty try call. Morons.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Penalty try to night was a joke

 

[myrrh ken]

Not as big a joke as the disallowed try

Yes you are right SKD scored that try with his forearm, like tons of trys that have been allowed for the same in the past, but in the end the right team won so no harm. But thanks for your consideration.

So the “flow” is get the penalties and rule the game properly for 20 minutes then put the whistle away

The stand out for me was when Munster was standing held by two players, refs called held 3 times before Gillett came barreling in to bring down the pile.

The low was Melbournes second penalty Brisbane who were offside were only called due to a storm error.

But overall a well reffed game that wasn’t a stop start snoozefest like early last season, interestingly players actually kicked for touch a few times to get a breather that was never needed last season

Storm were cynical in the ruck all night & got away with murder. Status quo...

No argument from me better team one. Skd dropped that cold. Maybe not a penalty try but was a penalty. The disallowed try was absolute bs though

Which disallowed try?

 

[Springs09]

A big well done and welcome surprise to see how the game was reffed tonight.

The game actually FLOWED and the refs absolutely ignored the the niggle penalties that don't affect the outcome of a game of rugby league. The only penalties that were called were ones that needed to be called to allow for a game to flow well.

A big well done refs!

Yeah that’s right because refs are there and penalties exist solely for the game to ‘flow’, not to enforce the rules.

Which disallowed try?

Katoas try where the ref deemed he intentionally propelled the ball forward when he juggled a kick regather from the sideline. I dont even think ot went forward.
