Yes that's the one I think ?
If a wests tigers player scored the same try the same way as Siua Wong for the Roosters. Would it have been awarded a try?
Api’s try weeks ago was ruled a no try which had downward force with his hand but deemed to no have regained control. Did the rules suddenly change for ever other team than the wests tigers?

I'll go with this to a degree. It would be nice to not have to depend on what the refs are doing in order to win some games. Maybe score a few more tries first. I accept that sometimes you need to make it a topic in order to get in the refs head and shake up biases that certainly exist, but its not the primary reason behind our defeats this season.
Also Luai needs to control his aggressiveness. His Tackle on Blaize Talagi, the scores were level, we had scored more tries than the panthers. It just changed the atmosphere of the game. Once Talagi had kicked the ball, it was only a superficial act to smash him. Same as against the Cowboys, we were not losing that game (yet) either but the early sin bin changes the whole dynamic.
Are we talking about a different game? Because the tackle Luai put on Talagi was before he had kicked the ball and 100% legal.

You have to compete mate, otherwise fans will say person A didn’t put in an effort.
Fine balance.

It’s no coincidence Canterbury scored off a dummy kick today. Once players think they shouldn’t compete on a kicker this will be the result.

Richo should take both those examples to a meeting with the refs
and get a PLEASE EXPLAIN.
The one with Luai
The one with Cook on Trindall.

I'm not disputing the legality of the Tackle. The way the rules are written are complete garbage and contradict themselves, you can be at fault for going after the legs or not directing your tackle at the football. It was a clean tackle but the ref considered it a dangerous act not directed at the football.
Hindsight is 20/20 but what I'm saying is, why even risk it to that degree when scores are level, we've just got through a good defensive set, and they are kicking on the halfway line. The rules are so ambiguous when you actually read them, so its a lot to risk when we've already done the hard yards. We didn't need a mega play to get us out of trouble or change the game.

I remeber watching the NFL final and a point guard scored a touchdown (aka try), but a new rule came in.
The commentators were saying "was that a touchdown..." The other guy "With the new rules, I have no idea". No one freaking knew and it was a grand final with the best commenators... went to their touch judge and "try" but that's crazy.
We seem slightly better then other sports. Soccer makes no sense at all. Going form strict refs too people who are bribed too some of the worlds biggest idiots ever.

My pet peeve at the moment is when players tackle someone and then whilst holding them down, turn to the ref to see if they should now get off the tackled player. The time it takes for them to turn around and get the nod is basically them holding a player down illegally. I get that in dominant tackles you wait for acknowledgement from the ref, even then its usually called out as dominant. If you watch someone like critta at the dogs, he does it in almost every tackle.
Often after a kick and the tacklers checking his own defensive line
Knights screwed big time with the late forward pass call at 20-20
They ended up winning but was terrible call that nearly cost them the game.
And on their last try, referee hadn’t called six again even though Hammer clearly touched it. Lucky they scored off that play
Watching the games over this round, and this is like an over-played violin, how come the Wests tigers attract penalties that other sides don't?
As a prime example, we got pinged for not playing the ball with the foot, while today, I lost just how many times the Manly players (Turbo etc) rolled the ball without using the foot - faster play the balls etc but NO penalty.
