That conversion attempt

[happy_tiger]

Look I know it wasn't that easy to tell but Richards last conversion attempt looked to go directly over the left post

Should the referee had sent that upstairs ?? Or can they even send it upstairs ??

Thoughts ??

Agreed, I thought it was good. Thankfully it, like the try after the siren last week, didn;t affect the result. But the hits on our for and against are adding up.

I was In front of it looked over for all money??

over left post at worse of not a little inside…..

 

[Yossarian]

It looked like it missed on TV

 

[stryker]

My first impression was it missed but would like another look to be sure. You could be right Hap.

Once both touch judges wave it away the referee cannot over rule or check it. If one says yes and the other no, the referee then decides.

That famous post.

Good to see it getting another try assist to add to its one in 2005 against the cows!

the fact it was about 100m up in the air probably didn't help.

what's the rule if it is above one of the posts? cause it's 50/50 whether it hits it and deflects out or in assuming the postis a bit taller.

The dodgiest kick of the night was Thurston's first penalty attempt. Five minutes in and on the attack, they went for the two. I immediately looked around for Ryan Tandy

Rule is the posts are assumed to extend to infinity.

Unless the rule has changed recently if the ball goes directly above the post it is a goal

Sataris is right. Over the post is no goal.

Well they have definitely changed the rule then in the last 30 odd years

Can remember a Rugby League show in Brisbane talking about this very subject in regards to a game in the old BRL when the had a one up one down with the touchies and the referee ruled it was a goal

When one of the panellist Bernie Pramburg commented he said over the post is a goal

He was an recently retired ex referee at the time

Maybe Wests Tigers should follow Dragons' lead and insist to the NRL that the following point adjustments be made;
1\. Due to the no try which Manly scored after half time had passed at Leichhardt - Reduce Wests Tigers Against points by six.
2\. Add two points for Richards disputed goal against Cowboys.

These points may prove crucial if for and against are looked at season's end. If it's fair enough for Dragons it's fair enough for Wests Tigers. I am not being pedantic but if Dragons somehow succeed in getting two points for last Monday's game then Melbourne must lose two points otherwise four points would have been awarded for one match and this would be unfair to all other teams in the competition when points are taken into account prior to semi-final time.

watched the replay…..it missed

Flags were up, it was in.

Who's flags. Both touchies waved it away, if they had put their flags up it would have been given as there is no way that ref can overall the touch judges on goal kicks
