Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3069482, member: 1899"] That was a tough call, especially when you consider that Staggs took a safer option. If he had have kept his hands to himself and just run into the back of Gutherson it would have been a goal line drop out. However, you cannot use your arms or hands while contesting the ball. I get the impression that Klein was prepared to turn the other cheek, but since it was either a penalty or a goal line drop out he was forced into a decision. Was that the Staggs hit on Brown, where Brown juggled it and Staggs smashed him? The Eels reacted, but it remained a turnover to the Broncos. There were a few tough calls on the night. One in particular from the bunker which turned the game was the 'knock on' against Fifita. It should have been a scrum to the Broncos 10m out since Blake dragged the ball towards himself while facing backwards and lost control of it, making it a knock on prior to Fifita. As they demonstrated in the above incident, they're probably worse. It's why a challenge system could never work. You're asking inferior decision makers to make big calls and 9/10 they'll just defer to the original call. It happened through out the Under 20s and it was a lottery most days. [/QUOTE]
