Golden Point Penalty

I will take it but I thought our charge down attempt played all the Sharks players onside. Thoughts?

 

[Goose]

I thought the same thing at the time

Yeah thats correct, sharks were unlucky there.

In saying that the Sharks first try was half a metre forward, and we had a huge call against us in the tenth minute when they said Galloway took the advantage when he toed it forward.

When is any team ever onside for FG charge-downs? When was the last time anyone got penalised for being offside in GP?

For offside? I remember it being for raking the ball out

I don;t remember the detail and I don;t intend to watch it again but at the time I got the impression that the offside was for something that happened in the messing around after the chargedown.

That was my impression as well, I am sure a Sharks player got a hand on the ball and then the Tigers player was tackled by the offside player. I could be wrong, I haven't seen the replay.

Its hard to work out, the ref mentioned ''offised off the chargedown''
We played at the ball last in the chargedown….it didnt come off a shark, it came off woods I think

Yeah by the rules you'd think it would be play-on but they always call it offside if you were already offside (i.e. being put onside doesn't stop the fact you were offside before then). Seems weird but they normally penalise it. I seem to remember we got a try disallowed a few years ago for a similar thing. I'm sure someone at the NRL will have an explanation tomorrow…
