Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3510970, member: 1899"] Annesley Debriefing - Walsh should have been penalised for a shoulder charge. Their view is that it shouldn't have been a penalty try as Walsh didn't interfere with Olam. A sin-binning could have been warranted as well, but in that instance he would have been OK with the referee to use their discretion. - The Farnworth penalty try was correct. Grant interferes with Farnworth, pushing Farnworth over the ball and Herbie virtually would have finished on top of had he not been shoved in the back. He made the point it was for the initial push and not the second effort from Grant. - Carrigan did not commit a hip drop tackle. Carrigan's tackle did have some elements of a hip drop tackle but the critical element was where he landed. - Xavier Coates' try would have been legitimate had the referee not blown the whistle. Made mention that the chasers clearly didn't hear the whistles either so that was an unfortunate call against Melbourne. No mention of whether Olam hit Walsh with a late shoulder charge afterwards. - Journo asked about the Cory Paix try. Annesley said he was happy to leave it as a discretionary call, but in his view it should have been a penalty. He didn't say to whom, but he made it clear that it was a tough intense game to referee but it's disappointing when a referee doesn't meet their expected standards. - Annesley was asked whether Todd Smith was ready to referee a game of this calibre. Annesley said he did and he's been one of the more impressive officials they've had over the past 12-18 months. Did re-iterate Smith made a number of mistakes and it was a disappointing performance. - On the Bailey Simonsson hip-drop, they showed a reverse angle where they believed he didn't make direct contact with the legs and he ends up underneath Rapana. From the angle they showed, that Simonsson tackle still looks like it's open to debate. [/QUOTE]
