Montoya Try Should Have Been Given

NRL head of football Graham Annesley has conceded the Bulldogs were denied a possible try to Marcelo Montoya in the first half of the side's two-point loss to the Eels on Sunday.

Montoya was in a position to finish off a set move on the left edge but on-field referee Chris Sutton penalised Raymond Faitala-Mariner for impeding Mitchell Moses in the lead-up.

  • Correct call. Should of been a try. But this doesnt mean dogs were robbed from winning. Happened so early in the game to say this would of changed the result.

  • Should of challenged it. It was an obvious try

  • To be fair to the ref, he made a call on the fly with what he saw. It's a shame there are not more calls like it each week. And even though Moses did his best acting job, Faitala-Mariner did stop right in the line, which is a no-no.

  • May be it it was given as a try, there would've been plenty of time for the boys to wake up to themselves, not getting sucked into a flase sense of security and played the full 80 minutes.

    BTW, it's should've not should of

  • Im sick of hearing this they always do it after game lost . I believe it tarnishes the win by parra . 

  • Who's to say Mitch wouldn't have raced out and intercepted the pass and run away to score?

  • Their first try was disallowed too. I said last week if you win a GF for example by milking a couple of penalties it will be noted forever. Same as this. Without being one eyed referse the play you lot would be blowing up big time.

  • The dogs could have used captain's challenge but opted not to. Bad luck and sucked in.

    Annessley can go suck a fart. I've lost count of the number of times Parra's been f*cked by the refs. Melbourne semi in 2017 stands out.

    How about the illegal blockers for the Broncos field goal last year in Brisbane?

  • Its all fish and chip paper today...swings and roundabouts.

  • Surprisingly they cleared sivos deliberate forward pass over the side line to end the game. Supposably the dogs blew up wanting a penalty kick to tie the game

This “kids vs opportunistic recruitment” framing is a good question, but ultimately a false binary. Why not do both?
If we had landed Galvin, sure the messaging probably shifts, but only superficially.
The real question is, who or what…"
