They deserved a penalty from an offside player...OK that is definitely consistent with the one they got the week before milked by Cammy..
Not normally one to go out and defend the Storm, but that was a penalty every day of the week. There was no need for the back rower to get in the way, Hughes was never getting within cooee. Whether Hughes was onside or not is a different story. Looked thereabouts until you stop it when the ball is kicked and he's probably half a foot offside. Not the only one we'll see this weekend.
Oh well.play on..doesn't make it right in those cases either...
No it doesn't but I'm sure we've probably benefit from one or two of those over the years. Millimetres offside is still offside, I get that, it wasn't blatantly obvious in motion though. If he was half a metre offside and it was still awarded well yeah it would have been an extremely poor call.
EDIT: I just looked at the footage, I don't blame the touchie for not blowing the whistle on this at all:

That's line ball having looked at it. I thought it would have been a metre the way its been mentioned. If he's offside, its by a footstep at the most. There would be dozens of those every week that don't get pulled up.
