If Whitehead scores Roosters penalty

[Frozen Chook]

In the first incident in the game if Whitehead went on to score from what was called a charge down, in the commentary it would have come back to check how Canberra got possession. At that point would have found that Soliola's didn’t make a play at the ball in fact His target was the kicker through his legs in the air.

Yeah we noticed that when they replayed it last night and said the same thing, he clearly took Keary's legs

[Frozen Chook]

His intent was to make a hit on the kicker to keep him under pressure for the rest of the game.

Intent means nothing when clearly got Keary in a dangerous position through hitting his legs in the air.

[Frozen Chook]

Agreed that’s were the careless and reckless categories of illegal actions come into play

[HBK]

Good pick up. Another refereeing blunder that will be ignored by our haters

Should have been a penalty. The refs and commentators completely missed it. They were only focused on Raiders wuz robbed.

Also, Teddy reacted very quickly and would have run Whitehead down.

I've been tweeting this and messaging the radio shows etc hammering the point!!!
Some people keep saying we got lucky on that call.....I agree, lucky our star 5/8 didn't get carried off with an ACL or broken leg.
Surprised there was no charge!

[Gary Worthless]

Absolutely, Soliola took out Keary's legs with a tackle that Rambo Ronny Gibbs would have be proud of.

Reverse it out and Jared takes out Wighton's legs on a kick in the first 3 minutes.

There would be non-stop replays, commentators blowing up, a penalty to Canberra and Jared on report and suspension to follow.

[Gary Worthless]

As an aside, I think it's a terrible rule that when a ball hits a ref or trainer that the team in the attacking half gets a scrum feed and six more tackles.

My view is they just replay that tackle and the team in possession continues on (eg Roosters get ball back and just replay the 5th tackle).

Hopefully the NRL will see good sense to change this obscure rule over the off season.

[BUDDY]

If we got the penalty then we take the two points instead of getting the try.

But if the commentators looked at that end result then they would all be whinging that we should have got a penalty.

Exactly. He wouldnt have even made the 20.

[The Thracian]

Exactly. He wouldnt have even made the 20.

He would not have even got the ball, Tedesco would have ran straight past him

[Vasco]

We won so stuff them all.

Easts to win.
