Week after week we same to get the same awful refereeing decisions, the terrible penalty count. After spending good money to go and see a poorly refereed game I decided to re-watch the game and make a list of contentious points that could have helped us win the match or at least given us a fairer go.
11:21 Dominant tackle by Tolman not rewarded. Penalised. Tony Archer refuses to listen to captain Ennis.
12:28 Reasonable 3 second (remember the amount of seconds for later on) dominant tackle by Inu labelled as "too slow". Another dubious penalty to Melbourne.
14:55 Pritchard's arm bounces off Cameron Smith's arm, ball and accidentally touches Smith's face. Yet another penalty to Melbourne. Smith misses penalty goal.
18:27 Bromwich strangles Eastwood in a tackle. No penalty
19:53 Prochter takes Graham with a swinging arm to the head. No penalty
23:40 Canterbury get a penalty. Storm inside the 10. After all, Melbourne had been playing perfect until then!
24:57 Slater deliberately knees Perrett as Perrett scores a try. No penalty.
28:14 Lowrie strips the ball from Morris which then goes over the sideline, it is ruled a knock on from Canterbury.
30:15 Widdop interferes in tackle, Perrett attempts to push him off and gets penalised. Melbourne should have been penalised for interfering in the ruck.
31:23 This leads directly to a try by Slater. Canterbury should have had the ball at this point.
45:02 6 second tackle from Slater on Morris unpenalised on 4th tackle.
50:15 6 second tackle from O'Neill on Inu unpenalised on 2nd tackle.
50:39 Hoffman knocks the ball out of Stagg's hand. Ruled knock on. Melbourne scrum.
51:40 O'Neill deliberately holds on Kasiano's leg as Kasiano is attempting to get off the tackled O'Neill. Penalty to Melbourne! Smith misses the penalty goal, a moral victory of sorts.
58:04 High tackle on Perrett by Widdop unpenalised on 1st tackle.
60:57 Pritchard taken out without the ball by Cronk on 3rd tackle. No penalty.
71:10 Offside defender Hoffman impedes Reynolds' run on 2nd tackle. No penalty.
71:49 5 second tackle from Widdop on Reynolds unpenalised on 5th tackle.
