Tackle on Ryan without the ball.

[sunshine_coast_tiger]

I thought it denied Ryan the chance to regain the ball after dropping it and should have been a penalty.

Does anyone know what Bill Harragian said on 2SM about it? The commentators were going to ask him but I couldn't listen to that segment.

If anyone watched the ANZAC Day game and saw the penalty try involving Matt Cooper, then I'm sure they'd agree this should've been denied

completely different. Ryan dropped the ball, then Minichiello hit him. No time to pull out of the tackle. Cooper never touched the ball, was clearly going to score the try, and a Roosters player out of play grabbed his shorts to deny him a fair try.

According to the blokes on the ABC it doesn't matter whether Minicello had time to pull out or not …...... it shpuld have been a penalty. It's a moot point anyway, we should have been at least 20 points in front by then and no-one would care whether they scored or not.

i doubt it was a fair try, mini never had balls for the ball, only ryan

frair try , mini was committed to the tackle, and if you watch it again , mini didn't actually tackle him, more of a grab..

How was it a try???

A bloke without the ball got tackled…...smashed in fact.

I couldnt give a hoot how much time he had to pull out.

The simple fact is you cant deny a bloke a chance to go for the ball when he doesnt have it.

doesnt really matter if it was a grab or not, it obstructed him getting to the ball

Hit him in the process of trying to regather.

Very harsh call.

As Farah said how is it benefit of the doubt? It is either a try or no try. Benefit of the doubt seems to mean they examined his intent which is not the way the rule is written. The intent is meaningless

100% NO TRY …....and in the refs training meeting regarding that" try", all the refs agree except for one , that it was a mistake to award it as a try .....we were robbed again for those 2 vital points

Boo hoo look at the scoreboard was what my Rorter supporting Son said to me….and I hadn't even said anything....

As crap as it was if Beau makes the very difficult catch it's a non issue....then again I'm sure Checkin would have found another way....

Simple solution. Take your son in hand and deal with him in an "old scholl" Orana Park fashion.

Exactly. It should have been NO TRY irrespective of Minichello not being able to pull out of the tackle. You can't tackle a bloke without the ball, it's that simple.

We weren't robbed of anything. We had so many chances to win that game, but our attack was inept. We should've won it by 20, so we didn't need to worry about dubious calls.

What concerns me is, this wasn't even a formidable team.

 

[system]

True Benson but sometimes it takes an ugly win against a so-so team to start the bal lrolling again

Just hope this isn't one of those events that comes back to bite us on the bum at the end of the seaon.

You have a son Geo? Nonetheless a Rorters supporting son? What went wrong mate?!

Dude…....Cmon now...we robbed ourselves with our ineptness.

I will not blame that try for us losing that game.
