Worst refereeing decision you've seen

[ellskimore]

Shane Hayne sending the whole Sharks team off against Parramatta in 2003.

Does it even exist ?

Can't find it, but here is what I was talking about with the different frames.

Out!!

Enjoy the game tonight.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Clear as mud. BOTD.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

It was a horrible call. but really...the worst? Must be the fact Brisbane dont get many bad calls against them.

The worst that I've personally seen, or can remember. I'm not suggesting it is the worst ever.

 

[Big Pete]

Lockyer's 'No Try' in Origin 3 2002. Denied a great try and basically introduced golden point.

Anasta's 'try' in the 2010 Grand Final. Right up there with Junior Sau's 'try' against the Sharks from this season.

Clear as mud. BOTD.

1989 Grand Final - Bill "the cheat" Harrigan penalising Bruce McGuire for running at an offside marker, on his own 20 meter line.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Worst decision has to be the appointment of Hollywood as a ref. end

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

Ahhhh
Luke Douglas got sent off against manly for sfa.
That was dud.

 

[Fifty Metre Line]

1989 Bruce macguire penalized for running into a canberra player that was 5m offside

Only time in history it has been penalized

Was wondering when someone would bring that one up. Classic stuff up. Worst refereeing decision i've ever seen. Harrigan penalising him "for not running within the spirit of the game".

Easily the worst.
Nothing comes close.
And in a Grand Final as well. Harrigan should forever hang his head in shame and apologize to every Tigers fan personally.

Easily the no try against Idris when the Bulldogs played the Dragons in 2009. It cost us the minor premiership and was without a doubt the worst decision I've seen.

What made it worse was that it wasn't an on the run call, they had the time to sit there and look at it over and over. Each time it was clear it was a try and Coward hadn't been obstructed, but the home ground advantage won over in the end.

 

[Vic Mackey]

yes but because you lost that you got to play a depleted knights team and the dragons a red hot eels outfit

karma worked that one out

 

[TheDalek079]

running not in the spirit of the game. what spastic would penalise for that? and in a grand final?

 

[rooster25]

Hazem El Masri try in the 2004 grand final.ryan cross held him up then el masri turned over after being held up twice however harrigan called it at try..... even dogs fans laugh at that one today.

Then the roosters have to put up with the morris not out ruling??? yeh it worked in Easts favour to stay loyal.....

we see plenty of these given?

Duffy going out and Melbourne than getting the scrum tonite. (then a penalty when gidley blew up at it, then marching him another 10m)

Did I miss something in that play because it's got me stuffed where McManus went out, or there was a knock on or forward pass

There was a balmain player years later who said that at a function after a few beers harrigan told him he put his arm up the wrong way and then was too embarrassed to change it. I think it was Gary jack. Harrigan has denied this.

 

[Stewie]

running not in the spirit of the game. what spastic would penalise for that? and in a grand final?

What makes it even more laughable is the fact that Harrigan still thinks he made the right call over 20 years later

This. Cecchin's not even in the top 6 referees so how the f**k did he get a FNF game?

For some reason this does not surprise me.
Harrigan is a turd.
