It could have gone either way really it was very close so i'm not to pissed especially cause we won it's all kinda pointless arguing over it but i think we all agree when the onfield call is try that does not conclusively show offside whether you think it was or not, there is no clear as day evidence the fact he got the same look and 10 seconds to come up with no try just ****ing annoys the hell out of me they would of had a closer look if it was Panthers chasing i bet :p

Well this is just the thing, some people say he's on some people say he's off so how is it 100% conclusive either way, especially enough to overturn the on field decision.

If it's not 100% known, then they shouldn't reverse it and should go with the on field ref's call.
I'd be happy with a "benefit of the doubt" call on this one, even if it was against us.

For me his foot kicking it is ahead of Soward who is in turn ahead of Townsend, how is that clearly offside? That's is all the view the bunker had and it's enough to overule the onfield call? That is not conclusive evidence to me.

Onside! The outstretched back leg of the kicker makes it look like Chads body is offside. But it is where the ball is and it is perfectly line ball.

I think it was offside but I don't think the camera angle is conclusive enough to overrule the ref.

Not sure. Closest thing I could find was on fox sports, had possession at 55% Panthers and "Territory" at 68% Panthers.

Yeah they have territory as Penrith 68% and us 32%. Not quite sure what that means exactly?

Pretty sure that's done off which half the play is in. So 68% of time was spent in our defensive half.

That sounds about right. I just sent an email to Fox Sports asking if the stats they use in commentary are available to the public. Hopefully I get a positive response as I often wonder about tackles inside 20m.
