Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3061360, member: 9052"] But he would though... the ball is either on the ground or not by the time they blow the whistle. So he would say I've got vision of the ball on the ground but check he's maintained it through to grounding. OR I've got the ball held up check if he's grounded that beforehand. In last night's game I'm guessing he would've said check how it comes out and check he controls it through to grounding but I've got a try. What happens - Clifford has a hand on the ball which could constitute playing at it when it comes loose - Shiba gets taken slightly high - Wright juggles it and multiple camera angles show it potentially touches Opacic who's in front of him (accidental offside) Gets sent up as a try they give it if it gets sent up as no try they don't give it. There's so many times when they just blindly take the on field ref because he has to call try or no try. The dragons last week got one when Widdop clearly knocked it on contesting the ball, but it was sent up a try so the bunker scrambles to come up with some ridiculous excuse to agree with the on field ref. Even in origin McGuire's try was a massive double movement, but given a try on field we'll give it a try then. The bunker only seems to overrule when it's absolutely blatant (Turps last night) or sometimes it appears to happen in order to keep the game tight (Maumalo being denied an obvious try a few weeks back as warriors starting running away with it) [/QUOTE]
