Gee you have some bloody awful ideas Ricky.

Phil Gould and Andrew Johns are the absolute last people on earth I want anywhere near a referees overhaul.

gangrenous

BTW if we are just supporters of the NRL business does that mean we can't criticise their decisions? Now you're doing my head in Schifty! Would you then also agree that as a Coles customer I'm allowed to criticise them for not stocking liquid nitrogen? What does liquid nitrogen do? Makes stuff cold...

so that's a 10-12 point difference the NRL has agreed on so the end score should have been raiders 28/30 sharks 22 very different story then..... That’s not how it works. Unless the ref mistake is on the last play, there’s no way of knowing what affect it would have had. As frustrating as they were...

Why would it go back to a Cronulla feed for a scrum. The Touchie saw a slight knock on, the ref said there was a knock on, the Video ref didn’t see one because of poor footage. Trust the officials closest to the action and play their live calls. A 2d image of a 3D event doesn’t always show small to...

I have no evidence though, just a hunch.

Gangrenous in the Bunker finds no evidence to overturn. Sticking with PJ’s on field decision.

When they fix it they can also fix the forum double posting. Edit - oh thanks forum. Shows as a double post, I edit out my second one and now the first disappears? Do you work for the NRL? Anyway I was agreeing with Archer that it’s scary the head referee doesn’t understand the rules. No surprise th...

He said play should have stopped because he made the wrong signal "The touch judge should have indicated to the referee he made a mistake", the same as if the referee blew his whistle by accident. Which therefore means a scrum feed to the sharks I spoke to Matt Checcin earlier tonight, he said a co...

gangrenous

That’s not just the way it feels Ricky. It’s the way it is. I’m 100% behind you on that.

gangrenous

It’s not the Bunker. The Bunker generally is really good and improves the refereeing immensely. It’s just the inconsistencies and utter brain snaps that they seem to have that ruins a great set up.

Great post [emoji106]

If the play is stopped, why did the Sharks keep playing? If the Sharks take peptides do they become legal? **** is this what passes for logic with the kids these days? You are missing the logic here. The referee decision was incorrect, no doubt there, but the Sharks player kept going, because the r...

gangrenous

You’re being a fruitcake pigman. The Raiders see a signal by an official which MUST lead to the stop of play. I don’t care whether the ref blows the whistle off, the play MUST stop they’re entitled to stop. In a normal game if the touchie put his flag up and then we dog shotted a player not expectin...

8 or 9 BJ's would definitely give me lots of brain explosions. Oh you meant him. And yeah, I agree with GE again. 2016 we still had some shocking reffing I am sure but we were good enough to rise above it. Right now we aren't. I don’t think that’s right at all. Once we strung a few wins together th...

Leipana play well in a losing team or a dominant thrashing, because those are the times when you throw structure out the window and just play as you see it Ricky ideally would incorporate their ad lib brilliance into our regular structures... and if the ad lib stuff is so much better than the struc...

gangrenous

While the flag issue is a major stuff up. I am really hopeful that the NRL doesn’t brush over the issue of the Bunker overturning the no try ruling in the first place. I couldn’t see any conclusive evidence that he didn’t touch the ball. There has been a decision overturned by the bunker just about...

gangrenous

Bugger off. I can see the value of the players focussing on that, but what we do as supporters doesn’t do ****. We’re allowed to vent our frustrations and tell the NRL we’re not happy.

gangrenous

Where's the exact wording that says this? Exact clause please that says "play must stop when the flag is raised for something that blatantly isn't in touch" Blatantly isn’t in touch? Wasn’t he about a foot from the touch line? There’s plenty of players who wouldn’t have been certain he wasn’t out?

gangrenous

Honestly the correct play by the Raiders in this scenario is also to stand around and let him score. That ensures it’s sent upstairs and the appropriate decision should be made which is no try our ball, or at worst a replay because the touchie signalled in error. If they tackle the player then the r...

Really?

Nah, just trying to justify an untenable anti-Croker agenda.

Yep. Pigman and Lucy dying on a ridiculous hill together here. Amazing.

Great post tragic. Couldn’t agree more.

gangrenous

They pretty clearly were right in the game and arguably should have won.

Therefore the game was not lost at half time.

gangrenous

Yep. I won’t say he can’t be a centre based off one bad game he played under an injury cloud though.

gangrenous

If only NRL refereeing was as consistent as pigman.

He’s not backed down on anything he’s ever said. No matter how blatantly wrong he may realise he is after the fact.

Given what transpired that’s just factually wrong.

I think he’s a first grader from what I’ve seen.

So you’re looking for an instance where the linesman raises his flag and the referees and players have seen the flag raised play continues after this and a try is scored. You on for that? This is not the flag goes up as the player is diving for the corner. This is the play is deliberately allowed to...

It happens all the time. Go and look at highlights packages where a touchie puts his flag up to signal the player is out, ref goes to the video to confirm grounding v touchline Literally happens every week NR. Only happens when a player is diving for the corner. That’s not calling play on. I’m talk...

"The subjective part about the Bunker's decision around the review [of the try] is going to be reviewed," the spokesman said.

Oh look. Pigman in defending a silly position again. I am a huge proponent of play the whistle. But come on man, be reasonable. What we saw today is not like the Saints one because: A. The Saints were wrong B. The Raiders were influenced by multiple clear referee signals C. It took yet another refer...
