Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3367722, member: 1899"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nrl.com/watch/matches/graham-annesley-weekly-football-briefing---round-2/[/URL] 21: 20 for Annesley's explanation. First section just covers the strip. 25 mins OK this is a reminder that it actually pays to watch things for yourself instead of accepting second hand accounts. Annesley does break the play down and clears a lot of elements for the Broncos (Niu receiving the ball on the outside etc.). He does remind fans that referees do have the power to make a discretionary call, but I think he could have used 19. 1 (b) to clear Oates since Burns makes contact with Oates after Oates has already run past him. I think Oates could have run further away from Burns to make it a complete non-issue . As a fan I'm that confused with the obstruction rule I automatically think that if contact is made on the outside shoulder 99 times out of 100, obstruction. I'm not alone either and even the video referees seem confused as well which is why they're often admitting their mistakes. [/QUOTE]
