I wonder if he hadn't talkled Coote, if they would have went to video ref?

Sunday Footy show replayed it and had the refs microphone as audio. Hayne words re coote were to the effect of "was he offside there? if he gets over we should go up and check it" then coote got tackled, silence for about 15 seconds and then the whistle blown when the feild goal went over.
Very very hard to watch!!!
Damn that sucks.
When we don't play to the whistle we get shafted, when we do play to the whistle we get shafted. **** it's hard to be a fan of this game.
You can see the performance in patches though surely?
He's had some very good moments. If he can do them more consistently, and remove the bad moments, he can be a good winger.
Well he cost us the game. If stapo was smart enough to let him score we would of wonCome on stapo haters blame him for tackling coote now

If we don't make the semis this year I blame stapo and he should be kicked and stoned out of cronulla
Not sure if serious???
'...let him score...'???
If he does that and the video ref comes up with some other decision you guys lynch him for not playing the whistle, like MB says.
Yep. These decisions will make players risk making their own decisions in the future because a call will only be made if the player scores.
I said it before in this (or similar) thread: The video ref might be good at adjudicating tries and no tries but they effectively undermine the instant decision making skills of the on field ref. It's a fall back that causes indecision and it is causing problems not only in this instance, and not only when tries are scored.
I'm sure many a time the refs are 'slightly unsure' and let it go because they have the fall back of referring to the video ref. If a try isn't scored then it's simply written off as 'oh well, it didn't matter'.
If something is blatant the video ref needs to say something. More refs and the decisions have become worse. I do not remember such consistent game affecting bad calls from many years ago.
Remove media and commentary speculation and backlash of every possible decision and give the on field refs back some confidence.
:Yes: :Yes: :Yes:
Stopped hurrel scoring that try, intercept to win the game against Brisbane and tackling coote in golden point.
Come on stapo haters blame him for tackling coote now
I also hate the 'we are cracking down on this or this' bull****.
The refs were cracking down on being offside off the kickoff. But not for a whole season? What's the point of that? Do it in every single game,it's hardly a taxing exercise.
Yeah patches.
His best game this year was against the Baby Broncs.
10/10.
But now, remains to be seen.
