Shot on Lote

[farahfan]

by nathan smith i believe, what is the difference between this shot, and the shot by bryce gibbs on burt last season, which resulted in a 8 point try

Jeremy Smith. Definitely a penalty, but it was going to take a decapitation for the refs to penalise anything in the last 15 minutes.

 

[Brett Thurbon]

They were never gonna penalise the dragons in that position, but its a penalty in any other game. Gutless display from the officials

SMITH = GRUB. Hate to sound like sour grapes, but he knew what he was doing and it worked a treat. How Benji can turn around and play with that tanker with a a 'W' would be hard I believe. But anyway next year here we come.

Even if Haynes didnt have the guts what about his mate upstairs. You lead with your knees its a penalty even if it was just careless. Just like the chooks game, when it got close the rule book went out the window. Its a sad day when a team that plays the most negative football is gifted a ride into the grand final

 

[bob56]

agree

 

[Geo]

You can tackle with your knees..obviously

 

[mtd]

its pathetic. they charge todd carney for his love tap, but this goes un noticed. they penalise prince for taking out carney, but this goes unnoticed.

its disgraceful.

Disappointed the refs didn't even look at it. The fact that Lote could not finish the game was disappointing.

 

[JRD]

Wouldnt be supprised if smith is charged by match reveiw comitee

 

[Tigerdave]

that was my thought too, there was no difference with that and with that Parra game last year

!
1000% correct… throughout this finals series the brave Wests Tigers did not receive a solitary 50/50 call!!!.....Hmmmm TABSPORTS BET.COM.AU

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Yeah, pretty ordinary contact and there has been plenty on penalties this year for much less. The fact the ref allowed Lote as much time as needed, instead of moving the play the ball, shows he thought it was an act of foul play…

Gutless!!!

 

[tiger_tigers]

channel 9 were real slow to play the replay.. the ref looked up and had nothing to look at
GUTLESS is the perfect word to sum up the boys in pink over our entire finals series

 

[angeman]

it's an NRL love-in. the todd carney story sells papers and the dragons / bennett choke does also. those two teams have been 'blessed' this year…

Jeremy Smith. Definitely a penalty, but it was going to take a decapitation for the refs to penalise anything in the last 15 minutes.

Quote of the year.

It will be interesting to see if the NRL are game to let that happen!!

 

[Leroy_The_Tigers_Fan]

Listening to Hoolywood & Zorba & Jimmy Smith on 2KY/Sky Sports Radio old Zorba has been blowing up big time about there being no penalty for the knees and this comes from an extremely biased Manly supporter.

 

[sunshine_coast_tiger]

It was a penalty in any other game. It was gutless not to call it. He wont get cited as that would mean that the refs on field and the video ref should have given the tigers the penalty on the night.

I think that decision will see none of the on-field or video refs from tonight get the grand final.

 

[tigerdre]

Oh well the NRL got the final they wanted
I knew from the first game against the roosters we were going to be up against it with refs
The referees association needs a major overhaul cause at the moment in all the games it looks like the refs a blatantly favouring one particular side over the other
