But that is not mutually exclusive with the notion that the Raiders do in fact get the spiky end of the pineapple more often than the juicy end.

So off the top of my head in the last few years the Raiders have lost a number of close games where a very poor decision handed the game to their opponents:
- we’ve mentioned the Cronulla touchie decision already. Textbook howler of a decision that the flag was ignored by two on field refs and the video ref.
- we had Manly score via a player out of play from the downtown rule
- we had the Titans score from an offside position when the ball rebounded from a player directly behind him.
- we had Penrith set a wall for their match winning field goal

Three of these were also reviewed by the video ref from memory, and flipped the game in the final minute or two. People can probably recall a few more bad ones I’ve missed. So if it’s swings and roundabouts I expect pigman and Nickman should be able to supply us with a number of games where a clear cut incorrect decision decided the game in favour of the Raiders.

Ok, I'll bite on this one. Very first game I looked at, was against the Broncos in Round 6. So I logged onto the Broncos forum, go to this very page...

https://www.broncoshq.com/threads/round ... cos.38027/

And here we go:

"We might suck, but we wuz also robbed."

"Fantastic game, we had zero calls go our way and without our 2 main forwards, and still only just lost at the siren.
Jack "bash'em up" Wightons 40/20 looked suss live, the touchy was nowhere near being able to call it. How was Glenn being taken out not a professional foul?
Anyone who starts their usual Bull about our season being over I'll call you out on it. Seibold hasn't done too much wrong."

The very first page of that thread! I'm not going to dedicate any more of my time to this ridiculous notion that we're the only set of fans who thinks they get hard done by, but I guarantee you can produce a similar set of results for every game we've won this year.

The bunker said in his opinion Boyd wouldn't have scored even if he was impeded, so technically not a try scoring situation. So the sinbin is simply for a professional foul. So what is the difference between that type of professional foul and when an attacker is blocked or run off the ball. If we're looking at consistency with sinbins on professional fouls and that is the standard - there would be several sinbins every game that's played.

Just because they dont think he would have scored, doesnt mean it's not a try scoring situation.
There is a clear try scoring chance, the requirement for a penalty try is that is LIKELY the player scores if not fouled...
You cant award a penalty try unless it's likely, but the fact it's not likely doesnt make it not a try scoring situation.

Players run off the ball are not in a direct try scoring situation. I think there is a very clear and obvious difference. But keen to hear others thoughts. It's a point worth raising and discussing with the rise in in sin bins.
