NRL Round 17, 2016: Cronulla Sutherland Sharks vs Parramatta Eels, Saturday 2nd July 7.30 @ Southern Cross Group Stadium

[slide rule]

I think we're getting more than a rub of the green at the moment with the refs. Maybe Gal's try was a try but like HB said, they missed a blatant knock on from Fifs and I still think we were lucky to get awarded Boogs penalty try against the Warriors considering other ones that had occurred in the past few weeks.

I think the penalty try call for us was correct. It was the other calls that were wrong.

Seriously, if you tackle someone in that position, what do you expect to happen?

Also if he had have gone for 10 minutes, it would have potentially been a worse outcome anyway if we scored off the subsequent penalty.

Yeah I think the top teams often do get the 50/50's.

Refs are less inclined to think that the better players and the better teams are likely to make a mistake. That's the way I read it anyway.

Totally agree. But based on the decisions of previous weeks it wasn't a penalty try. You couldn't be certain he would have scored just like the other ones. In my opinion they were all penalty tries, but we got lucky as there was criticism of the previous ones.

that is incorrect

you cant base something that happens on a different scenario because none of the previous penalty try appeals were identical to this

all you can really say is previous weeks other calls were right or wrong

this call was spot on

Fair enough mate. In that case, I'm saying the previous week's other calls were wrong.

Hmm, I thought I clicked the delete box, oh well.

Missing Maloney & Fifita is what can't be replaced. All the other substitutions can do the job, but we lose so much with those 2 out.

your right snow, when they say "you can't 100% say he was going to score there " in that situation you have to give him the benefit of the doubt, he would have scored because there would have been no pressure on him because he would have left "mannering" think it was , for dead
