Message: [QUOTE="Manifesto, post: 2584220, member: 8128"] I've cooled off a lot as well and largely agree with this as well. After re-watching the highlights, the final two dubious penalties were warranted. Parker was standing at about 7-8m from the tap, so he was offside. And the Hunt strip was 50-50 but did seem like he played at the ball on the slow-mo replays. I still think the try should have been ruled obstruction though as I have highlighted previously. It's very similar to the final obstruction no-try in the Sharks v Panthers game yesterday, the only difference being that Wade Graham milked the obstruction and made no attempt at the tackle. Had Hunt not made any attempt at the tackle, I have no doubt the video ref would have stayed with the on-field ref. Its these episodes of lack of consistency that are frustrating the hell out of me. In the end, we lost because we couldn't control the 1-% plays - the Copley 1-on-1 strip, the botched field goal attempt, the poor bounce that Reed got with that cross field kick and his crap attempt at securing the ball, and of course, goal-kicking. We are 5-10min per game away from a top 4 or even top 2 spot. At least we have come a long way from only competing for 40-60 min a match. [/QUOTE]
