Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2531851, member: 1950"] It sucks but: It happened in the 8th minute of the game. The fact the Sharks got 70 metres up field in the prior 5 tackles was telling. Had they known it was the last, they would have been in a commanding position to score a legitimate try. I highly doubt any of the Cowboys players in fact knew they had been dudded by the call until after the game as Channel 9 didn't identify the error until halftime, so unless they had the TVs on in the sheds or Neil Henry told them (which would be an astoundingly wrong motivational tactic) they wouldn't have known about it. There's a valid argument that if they did, it would have in fact made them [I]more [/I]resilient and given them an advantage (see: Broncos v Storm this year - Broncos half arse efforts, Thaiday gets pulled into the scrum by the cheating Storm and allows Slater to score untouched - Thaiday plays out of his skin for the first and last time this season). The Cowboys fought back and were in the lead 18-12 and in a winning position. They were unable to finish it off. Tagatese, probably the most useless second row/centre/interchange forward (pre-Sharks days... question mark) in the NRL, dominated the game. His try to take the lead was poor defence. That said, both referees should be stood down immediately and the video referee checklist should include tackle count check so this never happens again. [/QUOTE]
