He wasn't taken without the ball, He was still like 5m out, And still had work to do to score No way it's even close to being thought about as a penalty try (8 point try technically I think but still)
They do. They're just in really bad form over the last month. I'm not sure they can snap out of it. I'm extremely confident they'll beat Newcastle/Canterbury down in Melbourne, but I'm really starting to doubt if they can go back to back.
Really strange game that IMO gives us virtually no insight into how likely either team are of winning the grand final, other than I guess making it one step harder for Melbourne now because they have to win an extra game. Refereeing was a joke.
Sure it does, it gave perfect insight into the fact that neither team has a chance against the Roosters.
