That was an unbelievably good pass, grea actually. Was back out of the hands, should have been a try.
I thought was back out of the hands as well - some others seem sure it was forward. All I know is that the obvious shockers get let go consistently and the reasonable ones or 50/50's get pinged alot

As far as I'm concerned Lee did his job well last night. I was pretty pissed but don't recall him doing anything bad & recall him doing a few good things.

It's a shame that pass was deemed forward, there are times that gets let go & times it doesn't a little unlucky there.

I can't blame them for calling it live tbh, it did float forward a long way. Was a bloody great pass though.

I thought the pass was definitely forward, wasn't surprised at all to see the refs pull it up.

It was a shame it was a great move and Lee did well to get rid of the ball.

In your head, rent free
by the letter of the law, the pass was fine. it went backwards out of the hands, the wind last night took it forward.

take a look at maloneys kicks, he didnt judge the wind at all.

but i am glad they took the try of Chad, what the **** was that celebration?

The one in the prelim against cows from jimmy to chad was heaps worse looking and got let go, just one example of the refs apparently being in-line with the play on a break but making decisions of varying accuracy or subjectivity

Was Chad going for a dab? He usually does but I can't really remember as he sorta got cut off half way through with the no try ruling. Players need to cut out the meme's ****, the net is bad enough

Was it just me or did Maloney look to be letting Chad runbthe show? Every time Maloney got the ball it seemed to go straight to Chad.

Yea dunno if Maloney had a niggle he looked slower than usual last night, maybe Flanno wants his half back running the show which is fair enough and Chads running game can be dangerous which he did alot of last night

Don't know if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but Dragons have been fined $100k for Dugan not undergoing a concussion test.

Good. Thought it was BS we had players under go concussion test and Dugan was out cold for a short period and stayed on. Did read they said he said it was his jaw and they were checking that on field and not concussion.

It's an interesting one. It did look to be his jaw, can you get concussion from being knocked there?

Big time. The trauma doesnt need to be at the brain. If your head gets a jolt, your brain shakes. In fact the chin can stun you more than anywhere else
