Captain’s challenge

Twice  the Titans held a player down deliberately conceding a penalty so they could challenge. Should the challenge have been on the ruling that they held a player down and nothing else?

  • They exploited the rules to their own advantage, good on them. If the rules are inadequate perhaps they will change them, this is how things evolve. At least it gets people talking about the issue.

      • Home team officiating to the extreme 

        At least I hope that's all it was

        It will be glossed over because we won but the ref needs to be dropped next week

        Gough never seems to give us a fair go

        Did we cut him once like we did perenara

      • Is missing something (I'm talking about Dylan Brown holding back Patrick Herbert) the same as ruling play on?

        You are far more in touch with what's going on with rugby league than what I am (I have no idea what Graham Annesley said on this?). But from my perspective the Titans identified a loophole and exploited it. At least if what they did was not in the spirit of the game they will tidy up the rules.

        Refereeing rugby league is never going to be perfect, if you think it can be you're in for constant dissapointment is my view - it just isn't that type of sport that you are going to get everything absolutely right all of the time. See I was perfectly happy with the double movement ruling, I saw nothing to suggest that the ball made the try line.

        I agree the Junior sin bin was a tough call, I don't think he will have much to worry about at the judiciary - it's hard to stop your head when the rest of your body comes to a sudden stop, inertia and whiplash.

        I also agree Opacic was hit high but that's part of the game, sometimes the officials miss things. I'm sure the Titans fans were unhappy with some of the refs calls as well, it probably all evens itself out in the end?

        I've been saying for ages, whilst we are bombarded with sports betting advertising and these apps are freely available for people to use on their phones the game will always have a stench of corruption.

          • Exactly, They can challenge the refs call and the ref didn't call the hold back. They should of lost their challange. The refs will miss some things as they did on many occations last night and in most games because it's being played at a fast pace but the ruling regarding this was cleared up at the begining of the week and they still got it wrong.

          • Ok cool I didn't know that but that seems logical in how you've explained it. I guess it gets a bit of a grey area though with the video ref in a try scoring situation because they adjudicate on heaps of things missed by the on field officials.

            • Nothing grey about it in my opinion it's black and white.

              • For mine, I struggle with the idea of saying on one hand the bunker can rule on a whole heap of stuff in this situation (try scoring) and then say they are excluded from ruling on another situation and we're going with what the ref thinks and if he's missed something tough tits.

                As we are all seeing the process is far from perfect and it's actually good that the Titans have bought this to everyone's attention.

          • Exactly spot on 

        • It's like calling a forward pass or knock 10 minutes earlier

        • Nup

          the Ref and Bunker were wrong, major blunder in the rule of challenging. Read the rule.

          no player can stop game to challenge a decision prior by the referee. 

          in the sense of 'you can't always get it wright' in this context of rule knowledge, then it would be the same as the ref letting a drop ball over the line considered a try
