Roosters illegal try conversion

[Red.]

Maloney was well entitled to take the kick, as he came back on the field before the try was awarded due to it going to the video ref.

That is exactly what the consensus was of the Footy Show panel members on this morning's show.

Hadley or Sterling. I know who I believe.

Do we have a rule book?
Wonder what the text in the rule...in the rule book... states...'scored' or 'awarded'.

[bondi-boy]

On this ocassion we were within the rules At least I think we were Watch though for this to be rightfully changed to this not being allowed to happen again We have broken no rules just used a loophole left open by the rule makers HOW DARE THE ROOSTERS DO SUCH A THING

We might have broken a rule ... depending on what the relative rule states.

If this happens in the GF...the trophy might not be awarded to the 'Premiers', whoever they might be, until next July, when the court case might be over.

They've had over 12hrs to come up and gloss over the refs Casty no try blunder, and this is all they come up with...piss weak.

Well a try is a try when it is awarded. We would have had a fair case to argue as he came in before it was awarded.

Exactly
It's only a try when the ref points to the spot.
He may think it, but Hadley is not always right !

I agree with Andrew Walker the Roosters used a loophole, I don't think they broke any rule that was in effect.

I agree with Andrew Walker the Roosters used a loophole, I don't think they broke any rule that was in effect.

Hadley said today that "they made a new rule last Sunday, that para; "to allow for the video ref system...if a player is off the field when another player scores a try, and that try is subject to review by the video ref, the player off the field may come back onto the field and then kick for goal after the video ref's decision has been made and if the try is awarded."

He didn't seem too happy that his idea of what the rule was ... has now been changed/clarified to what is now.

Yes I'd hate to think there were any changes to rule or policy interpretations without him spitting on the paperwork first.

Did Alan Jones ratify it?

[bondi paul]

Todd Greenturd confirmed it was ok when interviewed about Greens 10k when he stated it lacked integrity a big call coming from the nefarious Greenturd

Hadley said it so it must me ok. So long as Jonesy agrees too or all hell will break out.
