Steve Clark Screwup #1 - James Segeyaro first try
Sam Perretts foot is not part of the field. The ball was grounded on Perrett's foot, and then he was held up. No Try.
Steve Clark Screwup #2 - Chase Stanleys try
Chase's elbow was up and the ball was on the line. Fair try.
Steve Clark Screwup #1 - Tim Lafai try
Tim's hand never left the ball. The angle did make it look suspect, however if separation HAD occurred, his hand would have cast a shadow on the ball from the stadium lighting. This never happened. Fair try.
Steve Clark Screwup #1 - Corey Thompson try
Jamal Idris came across and tackles Thompson, and he was in the air, but got the ball grounded before touching the ground. Steve Clark immediately called NO TRY without checking on front on angle. During half time the front on angle was shown, and showed that Thompson scored a fair try.
Steve Clark Screwup #5 - James Segeyaro second try
Segeyaro in front of Soward when ball was kicked, and in an offside position when it came off Kasiano. No Try.
General Ref Screwup
During final 10 minutes of game this year, when the ball goes dead REF is meant to call time off. This NEVER occurred ripping the Bullddogs off of at least 2-3 minutes of extra time in the game.
Likewise in the first half Bulldogs were not allowed to set a scrum, despite time off being called just before half time.
So sick of people on this forum saying the team should overcome these terrible reffing decisions. We shouldn't have to in the first place if these refs weren't so pathetic we'd be infront 12-6 or atleast we'd be level going into half time. This happens to every other team in the comp and with the competition so tight you can't afford rubbish decisions especially with VIDEO TECHNOLOGY & REVIEW, there is absolutely no excuse for refs to get calls wrong. I think this is one of the many reasons why NRL crowds and support for the game is on a decline, you pay your hard earned money to watch the games and get this rubbish dished up to you. How to ruin what was going to be an awesome clash between 3rd and 4th. Video ref: Looks at every angle in slow mo for 5mins - still gets call wrong. They're either payed off or just plain idiots
Here's the thing (great post by the way).
When David Williams was stood down for betting on NRL games, 10 yes TEN match officials were involved as well.
The NRL has refused to name those officials, without denying they were involved.
None of the officials were reprimanded, and they are all still officiating.
