Tuilagi NO TRY..

[Geo]

Still can't work out how that Klown Kline in the blunder Bunker overturned the on-field decision..

Grounded for mine..

Surely even if he didn't ..Lomax illegal act stopped the TRY from being scored.. as we have seen in recent weeks..

Rorted..

 

[Speed2burn]

Yeah weird how they only showed one replay of it too

 

[upthetigers]

Bounced it imo usually they show slow motion to see if there was downward pressure but they didn't unless I missed it.

100% he grounded that. We were not shown any footage of separation until he slammed the ball into the ground whilst still holding it.

 

[hobbo1]

Foxtel showed multiple replays while the game was in motion
Got to say it looked like he bounced it 😭

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Lomax should've gone for 10. Clear foul.
If you watch it slo mo Kelma still had fingers on the ball.
Refs/bunker 🐈
I'm baffled.
Just wait for Annesleys apology tomorrow.

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

Yep looks like a try.

Also agree if not a try should be a penalty try

There was no separation.. I've seen finger nail TRIES awarded for less..

 

[weststigerman]

Was a clear try. The bunker were too busy checking for a mid air tackle than looking at the grounding.

Yeah I just watched a slo mo of the slo mo and can confirm 💯 it was a try. The two hands on the ball are both Tuilagi’s but the photo doesn’t tell the full story as the hand on top actually came away from the ball. This is why the video ref understandably rules knock on. The problem though is that the hand underneath never left the ball. It’s gripped tight the entire way down as the ball is planted, constituting a try. That probably explains why it looked like a try live.

Horrible decision. All it did was bounce after the put down. There was only 2 scenarios, try or penalty try. Somehow the ref's butchered it.

 

[nrlsurvivor]

I should say that even though the palm of the hand on top came away from the ball, the fingertips did stay on the ball.

Big screen TV at Wollongong is 40” no idea what happened

May have been a fingernail on it but there was no downward pressure

I thought he bounced it but why wasn’t there a penalty try ?

 

[marzie]

100% a try

 

[watersider]

At the very least the video footage is inconclusive and the referees decision of a try on field should have been respected imo. I could understand if the referee on field had said no try and the video referee goes with that, but even looking at the footage I would say that's a try. I find video referees to be very frustrating.

I think this is the second try we've been dudded in two close games that we've lost. Definitely not the reason we lost either, but it's annoying that the review system isn't working well in games when it should.

Note also we had to use three captain's challenges today against incorrect referee decisions.

Our luck is going to turn one day.

I think he bounced it, but there was millimetres in it. However, if you're going to penalise Lomax for the tackle in the area, surely you can conclude that the foul play was at least significant enough to lead to Tuilagi dropping the ball millimetres short. So it really should've been a penalty try. Criminal that it wasn't.

 

[hobbo1]

The bunker shoulda been blown up when greenturd was punted

 

[Merlot]

it was a try
