Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2774944, member: 8215"] Pretty much this. We've been on the receiving end of calls that were blatantly wrong. Multiple times in games. And told to just accept it because mistakes happen. Even of the ones that the refs got wrong that benefited us: * As Port said, with Roberts' "kick", it happened before the PTB and was missed, they couldn't go back. * With Parker's headbutt, which I admit I didn't see and still haven't, the scrum is literally a punch of bloked thrusting their heads towards each other. Easy to miss. In fact the only one that I believe could have been overturned was the Oates tackled-while-in-the-air. Even though, yes, the Titans' players were doing a pretty piss-weak attempt at contesting for the ball, but they were still at least under the ball and ready to catch it, as opposed to just running Oates off-line. Gould moaning about why the video ref go involved in the scrum feed that got overturned - it was clear live that the on-field ref deliberately asked the bunker to check it because he suspected it could have been a Titans knock-on. That there is the exact scenario that the bunker is useful for. "Correct decision but I don't like it". Thanks Sterlo. You've now given the NRL every reason to put their figurative arms up in the air and do nothing to fix their problems. Do we want the decisions to be correct? Or do want decisions to be incorrect but designed to appeased perceived injustices arbitrarily? Seriousy, it's the rules. The fact that a penalty-try happens so rarely due to that rule just shows that the rule is working, and that by enforcing it, teams won't let it slowly creep back in to their game like not using their feet to play the ball, shoulder charges, and everything else that's had piss-weak short-term "crackdowns". The Titans threw a lot at us. And the weather was the worst you could hope for with our tactic of moving the ball around and changing the point. Yet we won. And bombed three tries too that could have led to a thrashing. The way the commentators carried on we could have won by 50-0 and they'd still be pissed because it ruined their opportunity to call an underdog success story and witness the Hayne Resurrection.
