Ch9 commentators were sure Kiraz got possession of it.
Seems like Fox commentators don't think so.

Nathan said in the presser the ref ruled kiraz took control in the air.
Ivan made a good.point saying what would have happened if kiraz had no one challenging him, he went up and caught it in goal but then dropped it before landing...ie no control.

Look, I don’t know the exact rule, and officials can only rule by the the laws of the game, BUT that was an absolute dogshit decision. Change the bloody rule!

Watching the storm last night with 3 ex tigers forwards in their pack makes me wonder how everyone sees different things in players, or is it just the environment at the Storm that gets the best out of most players that end up there.
If your club has a good culture not many players want to leave,
We are losing players every year which probably tells us what the culture is like in our club no matter how many times we hear about building culture we have still a long way to go.

I think it is a bit of both. Would be blind to not have seen their talent whilst at the Tigers. At times we did get the best out of them. Problem is when you have other issues leading you to get beat every week it's hard to keep putting in.

The players around those players makes a difference too. I watched a Manly side with Jake Simpkin, Josh Feledy, Brandon Wakeham, Nathon Brown etc look like 2005 Tigers last night. Helps when you have Turbo, Fogharty, Olakuatu...

For mine, the bunker struck again.

If your a dogs fan claiming tackled in the air, if your a panthers supporter its a try. If you a football fan its a try every day of the week unless the bunker makes another howler call on Friday night

Maybe someone here follows AFL more than I do. But this is basically a mark in AFL. I watch a couple of games a week and something like this happens every time. It's a 50/50 call IMO. I personally thought Kiraz took control of the ball before it was stolen. You only have to have control of it for a second in AFL afaik.

Very surprised that we don't see more of this in the NRL.

Yeh the tackle in mid air was the other part of it.

Based on previous judgements I can see Milky tackling Kiraz in mid air because Kiraz did touch the ball first.

This is the issue with slowing down a game into frames which was never meant for it.

 

[Flippedy]

You asked why would team’s want to give away possession and that momentum is everything.

I think that is exactly why the NRL is trialling this. So the team conceding can opt to receive the ball, therefore gaining possession and hopefully stopping momentum.

I think it will just lead to more short kick offs being done with the high chance that the team that opted to receive wouldn’t get it anyway and the team that scored would end up with the ball further up the field. Waste of time, imo.

Bunker or ref though made no mention of a mid air tackle it was inly about ball control

I'm pretty sure Ive seen Zac Lomax score numerous tries like that before he rode off into the sunset. On any given week who knows what the bunker is going to come up with.

The bunker is a blight on the game.
Technology was supposed to minimise wrong decisions but here we are.
