    I Think we lost it in the creativity department (as you pointed out), thus this try would not have made much of a difference. However this is something I was thinking for the finals as these calls (not making much of a difference to us) could be the difference between a win or a loss for a team.

    Yeh that was shocking the influence he had over the ref. Cameron smith, thurston, gallen do it all the time. The refs shake whenever they talk to thwm.

  I think they should keep it how it is but add an "I dont have a clue" rule. When the refs can send it up without the try or no try indication if they really .... like the mcdonald try.... have no clue.

  I blamed the flag boy for getting the live call wrong.

  Sorry but comparing today's game to pre video ref is unacceptable as technology has changed and it allows us to get these calls right.
  
  In the days before the on field calls, the referee would have ruled that as a no try..

    In the days of old, before the on-field call, the video referee would of ruled a try.

    The benefit of doubt would of came into this and the ruling was the benefit of doubt would of gone in the way of the attacking team (the titans in this case). Unless a hand/body can be clearly seen under the ball through the process, there was no evidence sufficient enough to make the call PARRAs way
