THE VIDEO REF - PENRIFF v KNIGHTS..follow-up

Posted by IH8Manly & IEspeciallyH8Qld on July 25, 2013 at 8:48pm

This is a follow up to Beer Baron's blog.

I just saw the Penrith 'try' for the first time on The Game Plan.

I couldn't believe what I saw.

That was absolutely the worst call I have EVER seen in ANY sport.

It was said on The Game Plan that one of the officials involved has not only NOT BEEN DROPPED, he has been given TWO games this weekend.

I don't know how to complete this blog as, apart from what I've already said, I'm speechless.

That's the worst call??? You should watch more parra games!!!!
We always get the rough end of the pineapple.

Parra disallowed try against Canberra was just as bad in my book.

  Mate, I'm as B&G as they come, but there's no way the two even compare.
  
  The Penrith incident was so farcical it defies belief.

The only thing i could think of for this ridiculous descision was that the vid ref focused in on if the ball was out and didnt even look at the players hand. What other explanation could there be?? Believe it or not i made mention of that descision on the cupboard as soon as it happened and one member claimed he was watching the game and that it was a clear try. Maybe the vid ref was on the cupboard last weekend??

Fair dinkum - Williame looked like he'd robbed a bank when he scored against Canberra. Should have looked more confident. Put it down to inexperience.

  Regardless of Williame's reaction the vid ref can only call on what he sees on the replays and if there was conclusive evidence that any part of his body was out before he got it down then im not here.
