Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2475298, member: 1899"] I didn't think the one look or angle we got was conclusive enough to over-turn the McCullough decision. The video ref has to be completely sure and there wasn't conclusive footage of the ball not touching the white line. This was one of those line ball decisions that really comes down to the on-field referee's decision and the on-field ref. who had the best angle of all to see whether or not it was a try ruled accordingly. It wasn't an absolute howler by any means but for mine I didn't think the video referee respected the original decision enough. The footage wasn't damning. Also, I think in an instance like that, where the only reason he didn't score was because the defender was a mile off-side, it should have been a penalty try but that's for another thread. The worse call was the Plum try against Raiders. It didn't make any real difference fortunately, but the on-field referee clearly denied the try because he saw the push on Berrigan. I don't care how hard Berrigan was chasing, it's irrelevant, under no circumstances can a player interfere with another in the pursuit of the ball and to over-turn it when the footage supported the on-field referee was plain wrong.
