Message: [QUOTE="Dexter, post: 2780557, member: 1978"] The best team on the night won as far as I'm concerned. As I have posted previously I thought the refs policing of the 10 was atrocious. It took the players about 5 mins to work it out. The Storm were advantaged as much as the Sharks though but it didn't allow the game to open up as much as it could have. I do question the head knock rules though. The Sharks lay down every time they could and IMO if you get hit in the head and cannot get to your feet to play the ball then it should be assessed by a doctor. That's simple enough and will stop the silly buggers from milking. The whole head knock thing is as much about cumulative knocks afaik and Chad lay down 3 times from head knocks but was assessed on field by someone I would assume not qualified to do it. Lewis was prone and didn't move but the magic sponge worked a treat. Like some other things in the game until the NRL get serious and put measures in place it will continue. Another anomaly in the game IMO came from the match winning try. Let me say I am not disputing the correctness of the call but to me it is hard to see why they haven't tweaked the interpretation of that type of try. He wasn't over the line therefore not fighting to ground it. IMO a player should not get 2 chances to place the ball over the line. In Fifitas try he is on his back and tries to put it down then rolls over and has another go because his arm doesn't contact the groundl but it was hardly one motion. The test for me is if he had passed that to another player from the exact position it would have been penalised as passed off the ground and tackle complete. [/QUOTE]
