For once, it’s a legitimate gripe re the referees. While it sucks, it was still a great effort. And if they play more like that consistently, they’ll win a lot more games.

Trying to live in this just to calm down right now ...😒

80 seconds.

Oh interesting I always thought it was 90 secs to kick a goal.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I know how you feel, but are you agreeing with what happened , I’d like to know,

No I am not. It’s just typical that we’d be on the receiving end

Thats my friend is what we call Blatant Cheating on 3 counts:

1. You cannot challenge a Non call
2. The so called escort was not an escort anyway
3. Time was up on AD kick as there was 5 sec left when he kicked it and the clock is meant to start on his run in and end once it hit the ground..

I know we are at the bottom of the ladder but that is just not good enough and the Bunker needed to say you cannot check this on all counts.
If we were a top team this decision would not have happened and if it was the other way around there is no way in hell they give it to us.. In pure shock

Corruption is rife in the NRL.

Your wasting your time and so many others too. Out of those 17k they were probably posts having a go at you for being so negative.....go Mr popularity.

 

[earl]

very proud with the boys effort , just shows spirit is alive.

We were really good. We lack the class players that Nth Qld have. Guys like Nanai and Holmes.

We put in though.

 

[StarswithStripes]

There was no onfield whistle
There was nothing to challenge
Ashley in the bunker interviened
And then still called it. Crazy

You’re right. They weren’t entitled to use their challenge because there was nothing to challenge. Totally robbed. Stinks.

We get robbed & sodomised routinely by refs who ensure the bookies are happy - but this was a whole new level of corruption & incompetence!

Hang your heads in shame NRL!

We need Chris Masters to expose these frauds for what they are - as per his 4 Corners investigation in the 80s!

That just proves we can lose a game from anywhere. Even when there’s one second left on the clock.

If there was one second left on the clock the Cowboys player who certainly ran into the Tigers must have faster than an Olympic 100 metre sprinter. It is impossible for a football player to run 25 metres in one second.

Get it all out mate. Fact check though, reaction scores weren’t around when I made my first post. They only came in like 2-3 years ago. So you’re a long way off with that insult.

There's a clear point in the NRL rulebook that states (word for word):
"Challenges will not be permitted where the referee allows play to proceed."
Also, a second point from the rulebook:
"The only decision that can be challenged are ones which involve a structured restart of play (e.g. penalty, scrum, drop-out, etc.)"

So, not only was the decision to allow a challenge from the Cowboys absolutely wrong, but they also got the overall decision of an escort by Kepaoa wrong as he always had eyes for the ball and both players made contact with eachother. There is no doubt in my mind, with absolutely no exaggeration, that this was the worst call in the modern video ref NRL era

 

[Liam G]

I was always of the understanding that you were not able to challenge unless the referee had made a decision? If the referee saw that play as clean and called play on how were the Cowboys able to challenge a non-decision and play on call from the referee?

They basically challenged the decision of a Tigers player catching the ball and playing on? How????

You are absolutely correct. There was no ruling to challenge!!!!! The game ended. The referee should never have allowed a Captain's challenge. The game has descended to a new low.

 

[watersider]

Recalls souths beating us in golden point in the 7th minute when they should have changed ends and kicked off at 5 minutes. Except this is worse. You can now challenge nothing? There was no call. What was the referee doing? Nevermind the lalaland bunker.

Thank for replying , it does not matter what I think RESPECT
