Official Aiden Tolman

Ref definitely said held, I won’t argue that at all and in fact nobody is, that’s not really the issue is it.
Elsewhere in media I saw Ennis Graham and Hooper all feeling very strongly we got dogged there.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Yes he called held but way too early while the player was still on his feet.

It’s the inconsistency that annoys us.

How many times do you see that allowed by other refs for other teams?

 

[Western Sharkie]

That’s my point.
Yes, he did call held, but why so quickly?
That’s was what everyone is blowing up about.

Annesley’s defence of the decision (which was piss poor) is around the “held call” but no one called him out on the quick call at such an important period of the game and none of the media in that meeting raised it???

This is the sort of thing that gets the tin foil hat brigade going. It’s not just our team, others cop it as well and questions should be asked about this. The NRL are oblivious to the perceived favouritism that goes on.

I can’t explain it any further.

The strip call against Woods on Hunt was also a disgrace.

There was no way he stripped that it was a loose carry.

I reckon if anyone else but Woods was in the tackle it might have gone our way.

Cant blame Cecchin for that one, he originally called it dropped. It was the goose in the bunker that ****ed up.

Aaron Woods knew full well what he was doing there

Those type of brain dead plays literally sum up Aaron Woods to a T

I disagree.

 

[Super Impose]

Annesley has gone from job to job including politics since he retired and IMO has not been a success at any of them ..

Specsavers bro

Specsavers bro

My glasses are fine. It's the bunker who need them.

 

[Gards]

Tolman in trouble for cannonball tackle? is it that thing I recall on replay where he landed on the blokes ankle that looked completely accidental????

fmd it's a contact sport with bodies in motion , those bodies have to land somewhere they are not supposed to at pace accidentally on occasion

what you on about? he literally had his hand on the point of the ball and he stripped it

yes, he was third man in and went low

Santa needs to bring some more HD TVs, cause like you it was ole mates only intention to go at the ball, I can see how checchin missed it lots of bodies and arms, but on slomo pretty obvious..

Ha - the triumphant signing of J Hayne ….

Yes the tackle that injured Siafiti

He shoots at the hip but Siafiti's forward momentum results in Tolman falling on his leg.

You could probably argue either way whether it is onus on defender not to make dangerous leg contact vs whether it is just an accidental outcome of standard tackle attempt which was not made in a dangerous way. Was not penalised by ref or by bunker on review in game so I assume they will both be addressed for missing foul play if it is such a dangerous act.

Siafiti then goes down a minute later when we have ball and some momentum and is allowed to walk unassisted off field. Yes he did drop down which is a concern but an injury that has already been assessed and allowed to stay on field which was not endangering player and still allowed him to walk unassisted from the field isn't really what I want to see stoppages for. Obviously from refs perspective someone dropping down in D line has to be treated as a concern though.

This very similar tackle by Victor the Inflictor was not charged https://www.facebook.com/nrlphysio/posts/899579384014278 and did the kids ACL although obviously the much more dangerous dive at Kelly's legs (that caused no significant injury) was charged. Consistency.

Not the way I saw it mate.

 

[snowman]

Not the way I saw it mate.

i am dreading old age if it does that to your eye sight

 

[Proud Shark]

I'm with you. His hand was 100% on the ball but the stripping motion was hunt trying to pull his arms down for a quick ptb. I don't think there was any intent to strip.
