  Two things:
  1) How was it any more certain that Vunivalu would score than the incident with Moses being shoved off the ball a few weeks back? Is it that Moses was not wearing purple?
  2) As Brett points out, the rule refers to the opinion of the ref and not having to be certain. So why did Brandy quote the rule and even display it on the screen on Foxtel, only to read a condition (certainty) into the rule that is clearly different than the condition stated in the rule (opinion)?

    Moses had more of a claim to a penalty try then Vanavalu

    Yeah it's going to be really interesting to see what penalty Vuinavalu faces for that outrageous knee incident. If that was Kenny Edwards he would be looking at 6 weeks on the sidelines

  Yep. Apparently if you're in purple like Vunivalu you're also allowed to leap into the opposition at head height with your knees. One rule for purple, another for other colours...

    Bellamy said he don't know what he should be charged with. Reckless careless high dangerous?

  Agree that the 100% is garbage to reason for penalty try or not. There is no 100% until they actually ground the ball. As usual there is no consistency from week to week in the nrl in everything from that to play the ball to kick chase being impeded. I seriously wonder if there is any communication from top to bottom in the nrl. It's a joke of an organisation.

    Back in the day it was easy, simple and successful interpretation. Defender can't change their line to impede a chaser. Today they allow on any chaser but only the blatant obvious ones get pulled up. Nrl is stoopid. They introduce 7 tackle set for any discretion in the in goal to promote attack yet they allow all this other crap to take disadvantage attack.

  A penalty and 10 in the bin is what was warranted.
  There's no way it could be said the Storm scorebthere. The ball was bouncing around and actually took a sharp turn. Very big chance he misses that.
  Anyway it's probably a 50:50 call.
