bunker decision was a game changer

Posted by Goose on June 1, 2016 at 10:58pm

The decision by the bunker to over rule NSW scrum feed was a game changer. Had NSW fed the scrum them we may well have scored in the next set or at least get a repeat set. I believe the decision was a wrong call. I am also of the belief that Smith, Cronk and Thurston are a protected species and can do no wrong. It appears to me the referees love them and they get the run of penalties go their way in almost every game. Having had my rant, there is nothing between the two teams. Nsw made some rookie mistakes and made it hard for themselves

When isn't the bunkers decision a game changer? Total waste of technology and oxygen by those who work within it.

No creativity
No inside balls
Barely an offload
NSW just had no potency.. Gallen slows the attack.. Although a dour boring game, we did half decent.
Of course they are protected, they r future immortals, and champion players. Blaming the red or bunker for our lack of creativity or more so lack of finish is off to me..
We need to play a bit more footy on them. Ask more questions.. We r not going to run over their forwards.. A few offloads a risk here or there.. Walker experiment is surely done too

If they are going to make a call and change the feed then they first need to get it right, and then they need to make a call on all of the decisions where they should be changed.

Think u'll find it was a square up for the previous similar decision

Why didn't they make a call on the blatant forward pass by Maloney that led to the Cordoner try.

The refs made mistakes all night. Didnt favour any one side and therefore none were a game changer or all were a game changer.

I think NSW could have had another 6 sets in the QLD 20m and still wouldnt have scored.

I would keep Walker so Daley can get sacked
