Yep...there's an agenda on the Tigers...someone has it in for us...."no, no, we couldn't possibly have 3 wins in a row for these b**stards"

I think that's a bit far-fetched. It comes back to the inherent bias- if let's say it was a winger who did that, the ref would have double checked. But he knew it was a 10 gamer backrower so he just assumed he didn't get it. Same with the Leilua no-try.

The video ref basically went in with the agenda that he hasn't scored and it was a mid-air tackle. There is always a pressure on them to get to a quick decision and the video ref's procedure, thought process and result was all wrong and imcompetent.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist so I put it down to human bias and gross incompetence.

haha yeah...just trying to rattle the cage a little 😆...but no question there is an unconscious bias happening here...happens to us very often

I also knew my re-edited video would create a bit of chat on the scenario & no doubt some banter....it's started already on Twitter
 
If the ref awarded the try by his on field decision...the bunker reviews it and found Lomax interfered with the player scoring a try,then that try in most cases would be a penalty try...however I still cant understand that the try wasnt awarded after the review,the Tigers were given a penalty after the on field decision was made....
I think some of these clowns make the rules up to suit themselves because 1/2 of them wouldnt know what the bloody rules are anyway....
 
Someone will have to explain to me how you can bounce a football, without letting go of it, but not score a try. Physically impossible! Do we need to dig up the remains of Isaac Newton to explain it to the bunker?

Secondly as everyone has said - either Lomax commits a foul with a mid-air tackle, in which case it is a penalty-try, or he does not commit a foul and it's a knock-on. Please don't anyone tell me the Bunker thought Kelma would not have scored if Lomax had not tackled him illegally (deemed illegal per bunker penalty).

Just plain ineptitude and illogic from these apparent professionals.

Unfortunately we had lots of other opportunities to win the match, but Tigers are not a team that can do it all without some 50/50s falling our way.
 
Just seen an annesley briefing as usual only picks topics he can easily explain no mention of tigers
