perretts diallowed try

[Rocky Rhodes]

Archer should have gone to the video for the Pearce put down he called held up. It looked like he got it down.

Obviously Archer is a greeny and remembered it was earth hour so it was important not to waste electricity by hitting switches so we all should thank Archer for not drowning under 100 metres of ice melt water we ungrateful bastards....

That one that was grounded by a NZ player was a seperate incident. 100% correct call in that instance. I was also at the game and it's impossible to distinguish finite details of a video replay at the ground so I don't know if Perrett knocked on but it certainly felt like we were getting done over again.

Also I seem to remember a terrible call of knock on against SKD when it clearly hit his shins near the line. That would have been a try. I think Perrett (or SKD) got over the line untouched. A scrappy one but a try nonetheless.

Actually it wouldnt of as the warriors player was over the touchline before he passed it. But we should of at least had the scrum feed.

Especially considering we got the first 2 penalties of teh game very early on

It might be a few weeks before they afford that to us again

Oh yeah good call.

[Cockadoodledoo]

yes we won so it doesnt really matter but how on goods green earth have we gotten yet another dud call after all the publicity of the 'fine' refeering that cost us dearly last week. boggles the mind

Another blatant example that the officials are under instructions with regards to determining the outcomes of games... It was disgraceful.

Is it just our bad luck to get dopey Archer ? He's a first division lemon. When he retires we'll probably always get him as video ref.

[horrie hastings]

i agree with this. i got the suspicion that there was a tiny hint of a knock on from Perret into Tupou during the mid-air contest

Pearce's try may have been worth a look

Yeah i agree about the chance of a slight knock on from Perret into Tupou.As for Pearces try it appeared to me that Pearce more or less signalled to the ref that he didnt get it down so dont bother going to the video ref but the ref had already put the call in before changing his mind

That decision really confused me

Oh god that is scary and has close to ruined the night

Don't be confused.

The refs said we had knocked on when we hadn't.

Yeah as you say the knock on which wasn't a knock on,the only thing that really happened was the Warriors player taking it over the side line so in reality it should have been a scrum feed to us.I didn't see the ref originally award the knock on against us first because i was sitting on the opposite side.

Sorry AW, just talking out of frustration at getting that prize lemon.

[Guest]

what about early in the game? Pearce (or Anasta) puts up a bomb. Warriors' Friend puts pressure on the kicker. He makes contact (not late), and a second or two later unneccessarily pulls the kicker to the ground. we should have got a penalty for that too

All well and good to bitch and whine about the refs but I want to see some hard statistics and data that proves this is the case.

Every team thinks they are hard done by and this year we have been copping it but until we have hard statistics there is nothing that can be done.

If you can be bothered search the site, someone's done the stats, and they are very telling, especially the ones concerning teams becoming angels the weekend they play us. Meaning it's not the penalties we give away that's the concern, it's the lack of penalties we receive. Add to the fact we win about 4-5 penalty counts a season, over the last 6 yrs, spanning 4 coaches, again the stats have been done.
