The way cunts have carried on all over my facebook I assumed it must've been Feki's try in the 73rd minute that was scored on the 7th tackle. 8 minutes in, while it was still a shit call, didn't cause the Cowboys to lose the game. Not really any different to any other poor decision that gives a side another 1+ tackles to work with.
I haven't watched a reply to see if they did or not, but if they dropped back on the 4th and the team were expecting a kick, then there's definitely a difference.
On the "real" 4th tackle they spread it from the middle of the park to the right side for Lewis to take a run. The Cowboys winger was never in contention to make a tackle on that play. http://www.triplem.com.au/sydney/sp...ys-qualifying-final-allianz-stadium-week-one/
I meant the real 5th then, the fake 4th. When Tagatese charges. That replay doesn't show too much but it actually does look like the winger has dropped back on Lewis's charge which was only the '3rd' and when Tagatese bursts through it appears as though they are expecting a kick, it all opened up way too easily for him.
I agree, but I would love to have seen your reaction if it happened to the Sharks and knocked them out.
The reason it is getting so much attention is because the easiest job they have is counting from 1 to 5. Not only that, they have 3 different people keeping count and it's the finals series which means the best refs are supposed to be chosen. The try wasn't scored off the back of a penalty which is a decision based on the opinion of the referee, it was scored off an error which not one but 3 people made. Yes it rarely happens but if people don't blow up about it and the appropriate action isn't taken when it does happen then it will be more likely to happen again. I can guarantee you that every official will be triple checking their tackle counts from now on.
Yeh as an on field leader he's inspirational but man he really lacks humility off the field. Thurston's comments after arriving back in Townsville were also absolutely ridiculous and embarrassing too. Just further back up my claims that he really isn't the ornament to the game that everyone talks him up to be.
Just saw it on Fox sports news. Pretty much said there's a push for an all NSW Grand Final from the NRL in particular Souths. Nth Qld don't get a fair go because of it and it's all because NSW haven't won Origin for a long time so they need something. You wanna feel for the Cowboys but comments like that make it all the harder.
Fuck that was a bit of a poor effort from Linnett for the corner watching it on the news tonight, really should have got there
He never had control of the ball. I can't believe Henry took Taumololo off and waited until there was 2 minutes to go. I reckon they win if he stays on, the no try to Linnett just further proved how dominant he was
