Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3425956, member: 1899"] The issue with obstruction calls is that they'll often leave it to interpretation. Often they'll acknowledge that an obstruction has occurred but it didn't impact the play or it was a defensive decision and play on. Last night I was fairly confident once Reynolds went down they'd likely call it back. However, I was expecting them to call it a defensive decision by Reynolds since he could have slid off Makatoa before contact was initiated. That would have made it a 5-3 Eels play, so on probability, the Eels would have iced it. Again, I was happy the official used common sense and penalised Makatoa for knocking Reynolds over but as long as you leave it to interpretation there's always going to be confusion. [/QUOTE]
