If the kayo mini is anything to go by, Metcalfe had an absolute blinder

That kick from Chad for what should have been the game winning try was objectively mint. The winning field goal wasn't bad either

The wildest part of that try is it would have been a try under the old rules. He doesn't touch the corner post till after he grounds it.
Call it cynical, but if you would have challenged it saying he was jumping into a tackle. Like imagine if DWZ gets hit with his knee.

Or is that rule exempt when scoring?

He literally jumps a mile out it was an incredible leap and put down

Or imagine if DWZ gets under Coates a little more and effectively spear tackles him. How do they rule on that?

If Coates scores officials may deem an 8 point try
If he doesn’t they’ll deem either penalty try, or penalty (possible bin/send)

Hughes is in trouble for pushing over the ref (who got in the way).

Yeah, that's a hard one, heat of the moment trying to defend and he's blatantly in the way but you can't touch them regardless.

Ref should of handled this on the field last night with a small warning, next time shout at me to move, etc. That should of been the end of it.

Good footage of a similar incident with Wayne Barnes the union Ref on YouTube. Tells him he understands, no further action for the player personally but will be penalty on the field.

I wonder if this is an over reaction from the NRL after what occurred in our game.

Basically telling the coaches and players not to think they can start running into the refs so tries will be disallowed.

I don't think so. Ziggy knew immediately he'd compromised our ability to defend and owned it.

And Trindall tried to get around him not shove him over

Yeah I'm actually watching the replay now and just got passed there, Tricky goes around him at first thinking ball is going wide but steps back in once he realises its not and actually gets impeded as Kikau receives the ball.
Was absolutely correct decision.

I agree that our case was an accident but more referring that the NRL need to send a message im future games that clubs shouldn't start taking the piss with the rule.

The weekend says ‘if the ref impedes you just let him handle it’

Our result: try overturned
Storm result: halfback suspended a week

So the ref made a correct decision and then accepted Tedesco’s advice to check it .

Back yourself ref ..
