Why Isn't Archer and Klein Dropped

The Hornby no-try might have been dubious. The Idris no-try has been ADMITTEDLY proven wrong.
Why? Because the referees boss disagreed with it? There has been no inquisition into other incidents because they received no coverage, they didn't happen in the last minute of the game.

You can't suggest a team has been robbed without looking at other dubious calls throughout a game. Against the cowboys we copped a similar obstruction penalty when Cooper stood his ground and Thurston ran into him. The result a 2 pointer to the cows, and in the end, the winning margin.

These calls from Moore are ridiculous saying he's not bitter, but they could have cost the team $200k. A bit of perspective wouldn't go far astray. Games should never rest on one decision, and they never do.

Archer and Klein made bigger blunders what changed the game then clark did

1-Klein calling a double knock on when it came off weymans'hip/gut area not a knock robbed dragons of a try

2- Hornby dubious knock on which lead to idirs first try

3- Klein obstruction call of weyman who obstructed the air no bulldogs players were near him which gave bulldogs the penalty to get idris the chance for the first try


4- Archer ruled idris first try when video evidence showed no try he was short of the line
You won the game - even if it was via an incorrect call. Stop whinging.

No one is, im just showing Finch bowed to the bulldogs crying, and he isnt serious about getting the right decisions other wise the 2 who made the bigger decisions would have been dropped.


Finch should step down

Bigger decisions? How is there a single bigger incorrect decision in that game than the 79th minute one? :?

Had the exact same decision happened in the 50th minute and lost by the same margin, would you still hold the same opinion?

A bad decision is a bad decision, it doesn't matter if it happens in the 1st or last minute. No decision is any less relevant if it leads to points being withheld or granted erroneously, irrespective of when it occurs. They all change the face of the game.

Which is why I find all these calls saying the dogs were robbed quite baffling. They were gifted some pretty lucky calls throughout the game, but none of them came in the 79th minute, which doesn't make as good headlines.

Gaba, just stop, You're embarassing yourself.


The Clark blunder is the biggest in recent memory. To say there were bigger blunders in the match is ridiculous.
I think awarding Jamie Lyon a try for falling on the ball with his gut was pretty bad myself. Try explaining that rule to anyone who is just starting to get into the game???

Bottom line is:

Dragons deserved the two points on the first half performance.

Bulldogs deserved the two points for the second half performance.

Dragons were lucky to finally get a good rub of the coin from Steve Clarke.

Dragons won, why are you (a Dragons supporter) complaining about the foul deeds that were committed against the team of which you barrack.

I'd had a few beers that night while watching, the only things that stood out for me as being blatantly stupid, was the no penalty called on Ennis (falling all over Sowie), and the No Try ruling for Idris.

Bulldogs were hard done by in a close fought match, both teams played well, and I would have been happy (but f**ked off) if the outcome had have been that the Bulldogs won.

Final word is: Gaba, you make every Dragons supporter look like illiterate, two headed bottom feeders and I don't like that.

why it had nothing to do with this thread , the thread is about the officials making mistakes at crucial times and important decisions reason why finch claims clark was dropped, where he made one mistake when it was the on field officials who made more mistakes which made a difference to the game at crucial times

I'd just like to come out and state that any penalties called during the Sharks - Dragons game this weekend should indicate that all 5 referees should be dropped.

If the penalties go against the Dragons of course.

Further to my argument, forum user: Gaba should be the only match official on game day.

I feel that the above mentioned changes will only benefit our great game and of course, our beloved Dragons.

Before giving yourself an uppercut, how about naming the possible replacements for all these refs you would like to see dropped.

Could you please go and visit the game day thread. I think you'll find we won.

So this is about finch bowing down to pressure and dropped one man for one decision , where the 2 on field refs made more worst decisions at crucial times of the games, and why arent they dropped if finch is serious about giving the message to the clubs.


Who won the game is irrelevant in this thread

Do you feel as silly as you look in this thread....

I consider a difference in making a decision on the spot at real time, to mulling over a decision with multiple replays available and still coming up with the wrong decision...

There will never be time when referees do not make any mistakes...

But the video ref is meant to help this...He clearly did not..

Yes but the 2 refs on the field didnt help, by the decisions they made the video ref was trying to be consistent with them, why should he pay for thier mistakes.

If Finch is saying one mistake what is required to be dropped then he should remain that stance all the time now.

But he wont he only acted because the bulldogs cried and put pressure on him publicly
