Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3426952, member: 1769"] An NRL spokesperson said the Captains Challenge was permissible in these circumstances. “The captain can challenge decisions by the referee to stop the play,” the spokesman said. “Although the referee had blown his whistle to stop the game after the last tackle was completed as time had expired, he had not yet called full-time. “The whole concept of the Captains Challenge is to make sure any decision by the referee that stops the game can be reviewed. To not do so would effectively deny a team the right to have an officiating error corrected on the last play of a game just because time had expired. “There are multiple examples of games continuing after time has expired following an infringement. These include incidences of foul play or other penalisable rule breaches. “The obstruction decision itself will be reviewed as a matter of course on Monday.” :rofl :rofl :rofl [/QUOTE]
