To the people saying that the Raiders had heaps of chances to win, or it was the right call to end the set - I’m guessing you’ve played the game at some level because if not, you’re missing the point.
Momentum is everything in RL, especially in games like the GF where it’s a war of attrition and the chances come after the arm wrestle has swayed one way or the other.
That initial call of 6 to go immediately swayed the decision making process and any thought of more phases or a kick in goal went out the window with the thought of an extra set. Doesn’t matter if the “right call” was made, a different call was made initially and the fact that it was overturned in that manner is unforgivable.
The fact that Annesly has come out and defended it makes it so much worse and I feel really bad for supporters of RL in general that we need to cop this shit. The standard of refereeing in bush footy is so much better, laugh at me if you will.
