Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2877159, member: 8215"] **** I hate the NRL. It is just fucking choreographed. As much as I wanted the Cows to win, and as awesome as it was for Fifita to want to have all the glory and not just run hard to set up for the FG, the Cows were gifted the score-evening goal. If the scores were locked up, the "strip" would have been called a knock-on. It was a knock-on, Fensom just lost it. But because the two points would even up the scores, the refs were aching for a potential penalty to be found. Bingo. Lo and behold, a couple of minutes later, Gallen ***** up. It was called a lost ball as it should have been, but nine times out of ten they blow that as a penalty and ping the defence for holding on too long. But because the scores were already even, no penalty. Because that would decide the game and the refs don't want to be seen as deciding the game via penalties. Which is the other thing that shits me. What's the difference between deciding the game via a penalty, and denying a team legitimate victory by blowing a penalty to even up the scores? Sure they get to play the game out longer and the dudded team get some right of reply, but the game should have been over. [/QUOTE]
