NRL admits bunker mistake

[JRDee]

NRL 360 PROOF PAUL KENT HATES TIGERS
HE SAYS BUNKER GOT IT RIGHT .ANASTA AND REST OF PANEL SAID HES IN FAIRY LAND . HIS HATRED OF TIGERS IS OBVIOUS

Kent is a flog in the highest order , the whole time he was pointing to the tv screen showing the kickoff Holmes is in front of the line and the pelican doesn’t say a bloody thing

Kent always goes against popular opinion. Not surprised at all.

Who was that Balmain player who took his situation against the rugby league body of the time to court. It was a milestone change that he won in court and it changed rugby league rulings.

I think Dennis Tutty took ARL to court over restraint of trade and won

Graham is thst you?

I think that's a pretty good explanation:

1. First whistle is always to stop play as the ref was told the time has elapsed, then usually the second whistle will indicate game over.
2. The captain's challenge was done after the first whistle and the second whistle was never blown so it is considered a 'stoppage' but game isn't over until the ref blows the second whistle.

As for the call itself, when I saw it in normal speed, I thought it was a 50/50. The more replays suggested it may have been a 40-60. Definitely not enough to overturn the decision.

No issues with the process IMO, definitely a bit of gamesmanship and smartness by Townsend/Feldt.

Sorry, overturn the decision?
What decision exactly was being judged to have the possibility to be overturned?
Was it to call full time?

 

[Stevec]

The EPL brought in the diving rule and players red carded and suspended
FELDT should be suspended he dived and as M Geyer said that is CHEATING

I was stunned old mate played devils advocate tonight. When it was sooooo obvious. No mention of the time fiasco or the kick off. He showed a visual of our tigers movements and the angle he ran. Imo he is an absolutely kent.

They will say it was within 10 seconds of the whistle, and after that only delayed because the ref couldn't hear what was being said in the earpiece.

That sucks too. They get extra time to challenge because the ref has trouble hearing instructions from Klein in the bunker who has trouble thinking.

The NRL are a disgrace

 

[tony soprano]

The NRL are a disgrace

Yep

 

[stryker 69]

Why not? It was the end of the game.

The second whistle wasn’t blown because the bunker was in his ear telling him to review.
Corrupt.

Lee H has asked the NRL for the full transcripts of what was actually said during this mess , you watch they will go missing just like the secret service text messages for the Jan 6 riots

 

[stryker 69]

I don't have an answer for that because I guess "captain's challenge" is the wrong phrase there. The captain wanted the bunker to review the play as there was a stoppage in the game. Although I do get what you're saying- can't "challenge" a no-call. There will be a couple of rule changes from this I feel.

You have just described a captains challenge. The ref asked the captain what he was challenging.
Do you know why he asked him that?

 

[stryker 69]

One positive that may well come of this is it might just galvanise the team. For the players to have to suffer the NRL's 'mistake' after a monumental winning effort may just be a psychological turning point.
The other positive, apparent to me, is the club from the very top to the bottom has been unified by their response to this NRL stuff up.
None of that excuses the poor handling of this by the NRL however.

It’s been a very long time since everyone in this club has been pointing in the same direction. The key here is to harness this hate and anger, create a siege mentality and rip the Broncos a new arsehole this weekend.

Just like the other Lee and the grassy knoll.

Tamou tried, Ref said he couldn't challenge it because the bunker cleared it

I thought the ref said “the bunker would have cleared it”. However, the offside wasn’t even looked at by the bunker. Butler could have checked with the bunker for offside… Were they offside though?

NRL360 played the audio of the players and the on field ref. You can actually hear Townsend challenge immediately before the ref walks away. So unfortunately the 10 second rule argument doesn’t apply to this case.

Having looked at the replay I don’t think so, at least not the players I could see from the one angle. But apparently the kick was taken off the mark. It was a terrible kick off really.

 

[tigerap]

I notice the fact that Holmes was offside when he kick restarted, which should've been a penalty to us, was conveniently not discussed, nor that fact that Tamou sought to challenge this fact and was told he can't when he tried to onfield....did you notice the Ref was right in line with Holmes when he kicked off...how on earth didn't he or Klien see it...what a Joke the NRL is....

But if the transcript shows Klein didn’t clear the offside that might be the smoking gun
