Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3314078, member: 9853"] Can't comment on Fox, but the Nine commentators called it a howler. It looks the other way around from this angle, but it's too fast to tell. In freeze frame as we saw it on TV it looked like we were dudded, but had it been two years ago, the attacking team would've got benefit of the doubt. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nrl.com/news/2021/08/22/bunker-awards-try-to-aitken/[/URL] Sometimes it's the other way around. Like that downtown ruling against Mark Nicholls on Friday night that Bennett said he couldn't understand. The refs got that 100% right, but what is more interesting is how often they let it go. I saw the exact same infringement after a Milford kick today, with nothing said. Maybe there's some kind of leeway given in Rugby League, but I can tell you that's a major penalty every time in Union. That's why kickers always sprint ahead after their kicks to put everyone on side. Unlike Milford, who puts up a bomb and then licks his lips thinking about his next Big Mac. [/QUOTE]
