i think mini was luck to score the first try. he hit the corner post with his foot before grounding the ball, and that was even lucky he got to the line, if you see the replay mini catches the ba ball, loses balance a bit looks forward then he looks over his shoulder and this slows down his run , he ssees a defender closing in on him and he picks up his pace again. like i said he was lucky.

i would really suck today to be a canberra supporter...hahahahahah

You dont know the rules or you are in a time warp You are allowed to hit the corner post when scoring He slowed down to avoid going out then we he knew he had stayed in he took off I will excuse you for that as i did read you saying somewhere else you were full of booze whist watching the match This obviously has affected you

I looked at that a few times & it looked as though it was the tackler who took out the CP.
Or are my eyes even worse than I thought?

The National Rugby League Board has agreed to an immediate rule change that will see corner posts no longer treated as ‘touch-in-goal’ in circumstances where a player comes into contact with them.

Under the amendment approved by the RLIF as an experimental rule:

1. If a ball carrier makes contact with the corner post he will not be deemed to be out of play unless any part of his body has made contact with either the touch-line or touch-in-goal line, or the ground beyond the touch line or touch-in-goal line

2. If the ball is not in possession of a player and it makes contact with the corner post (e.g. from a kick) the ball will be deemed to be touch-in-goal as per the existing rule.

3. All other rules relating to the corner post and restarts of play remain unchanged.

While the amendment primarily relates to video referee decisions involving slow motion and freeze frame replays to determine whether a try has been scored, it also applies to a player attempting to run the ball out from his own in-goal if he brushes the corner post without contacting or crossing the touch line or touch-in-goal line.

“The existing rule had become something of an anomaly in any case because the only place a player would be deemed to be in touch (or more accurately touch-in-goal) without actually making contact with the ground was when he came into contact with the corner post,” NRL Chief Operating Officer, Mr Graham Annesley, said today.

“Under the existing rule a corner post that was leaning inwards could have prevented a try from being awarded because the rule gave the referee or the video-referee no discretion.

“Given the increasing scrutiny that every decision is now under, there was a strong view that the rule should be changed before a team is disadvantaged.
