THE scrum with 28 sec's left

I just dont understand that they call back hundreds of scrums for less than that last night. And they let that go?
Wheres the consistency? The stakes change in the finals but the rules definately stay the same
 
Sorry for having an opinion on should haves…

What if Heino had jumeped on the ball what decision do you think the refs should have made?
 
Also, when Payten threw the forward pass to Lui, he was miles offside. Should've been a penalty to Roosters. But I'm a Tigers supporter so I wouldn't wanna bring it up on the Roosters forum.

Are we talking by the rule book, or interpretionally the way theyve rulled all year?

If the defending hooker was deemed to be permitted to dive on it, why shouldnt the attacking lock?

As I stated earlier there were any number of options that couldve been ruled on….though they never are. Coz scrums are never a contest....except in a semi in the final minute in a 1 point ballgame

Its why were discussing what shoulda and coulda been, coz they (the refs) once again have moved the fekin posts after the kickoff- get it?
 
Truth is we should have got a penalty from the scrum but Heino should have fell on it anyway.

Besides,Easts were offside all night and slow off us.

But I"m pissed off that once again we let abig lead slip after we clocked off.

I was the last one they let in the car park and felt lucky.In the first half I felt here comes another comp.

And now ,we look gone.

PS nothing on lotto either.Shattered.

got it..

😕 I think we agree…

Watching the Dwyer hit again I believe it should have been play on...JWH lost the ball Dwyer picked it up..but those interpretations have gone that way all year...

As for the scum it was a shamozzle just like the last 1 when every rorter broke before the ball was put in...that happened right in fronto of me...Do you think they would blow a scrum penalty in the 98th minute...not likely?
 
The Dwyer hit was a great shot but was a 50/50 call if we are truly looking for consistency, the scrum however was a joke and should have never been allowed to be completed…you gotta wonder sometimes what the hell goes on out there, the ref's this year will have some very serious review work to do at seasons end if they are fair dinkum about improving.
 
it's either a penalty to us or they re-do the scrum….they've been doing it all year, except in this instance....I'm still in the 'fuming line' myself.

The guys on the Roast were busy roasting the scrum too. Down to 12 guys in the final 8 minutes or so, we played and defended out of our skins only to be robbed at the end.

What makes it worse is the Panthers losing, we could have had a week off, which we needed given the injuries.
 
That damn scrum lost us the season, one moment! Dont kids yourselves people, if won that game right there at that very moment, we really could have gone all the way. I love heighno but that effort at that point was woeful. Cant remember any game hurting so much. And in the end, we gave it to those eastern suburb pr&cks!
 
Unforgiven is correct why why didnt the ref let dwyer play on, then its game over no chance of the roosters winning the scrum against the feed, we win roosters loose simple.
 
Got to feel sorry for the warriors, they are now out because of that scrum. So could we be if Manly cause the upset. Nevertheless a tough game for for the Tigers here in Canberra next week, suppose I should look at the positives. I get to go and see them play, and when we make the GF it may be against the cocks, and we WILL smash em.
 
can someone tell me why a scrum was placed in the first place?

Dwyer smashed the guy picked the ball up and then got tackled. Wouldnt that be 0 tackle. Or did he knock it on himself?

did Dwyer make ten metres?

If not, no advantage from roosters knock on = scrum

Ummm Dwyer didn't knock it on he doesn't have to make 10m…

The advantage rule only applies in the case of double knock on..
 
They were worried the tackle may have been high so were no doubt giving the video ref a chance to have a look at it.

My question is why was Farah feeding the scrum? Lui is the halfback and feeds every other scrum. If Robbie isn't at hooker he is at lock. Heighington is than at hooker. Why was that changed?
 
1) it should not have been a scrub coz dwyer picked it up cleanly. the refs can stop the clock to have a look but if its not a penalty, then the game resumes with a play the ball.
2) the roosters prop was right in the middle of the tigers scrum screwing it anti-clockwise before the ball was fed.
3) farah should have fed it to his side and got the ball back instead of trying to feed it out the back.

i did not realise how bad the scrum was until i saw a few replays of it on the footyshow and the sunday roast today. the hayne buckled under pressure and let it go. he should have ordered the teams to repack the scrum if he did not want to penalise them.
 
I think, no i am almost certain that Nuuasala comes from HOOKER - he packed down at HOOKER!

Now tell me how a HOOKER gets through the middle of the scrum and dives on the ball without it not being a:

a) penalty for going through the scrum
b) Re-pack scrum as the scrum fell apart
or
c) should have been play on when Dwyer picks up the ball because it was a clean pick-up.

He cam from HOOKER - HOW IN THE WORLD CAN THAT BE ALLOWED!!!!!!!!!!!
