Nrlol first ever NFL block play

[Chris Harding]

Kikau didn’t even touch the ball as well. No raking motion, he was stopping the ball but he didn’t rake it out

I thought that stripping the ball was permitted if you are stopping a try.

 

[Chris Harding]

Fkn robbed as fuck and had to listen those fkn stooge commentators talk shit the whole game

The commentators were calling the game like the Warriors were playing the best team in the comp. I guess that's flattering for us.

 

[B-Train]

I can't believe that wasn't overturned, but then again we should be used to it. Reed probably wouldn't have changed anything but he was close enough to Johnson and the obstruction was blatant enough (no dive at all) for it to be an easy decision.

I'm sure if Souths, The Roosters, Penrith, Melbourne etc had that try against them they would have had more looks at it and ultimately overturned it..

 

[Chris Harding]

Fittler the gronk just said it was a great try hahaha. Reed had no opportunity to attempt a tackle because the Warrior prop was IN FRONT of the ball.

Mahony was blocked well before SJ went past him. I can't figure that decision by the bunker.

Only if we scored it.

They so biased against us all game

9 news said more or less we got robbed

100% be overturned if those teams.

In fact a ref adjudicating one of their games, standing there in front of the play, would have instantly penalised Warriors for obstruction.

 

[BDPScarface]

Every team can run that play if they dont

Exactly. And that's why I was livid. Because we kicked dead just before that when attacking their line. We could've just run that play.. and I was yelling at the screen after to run the same play when we went back to their line. But we don't have the smartest players

 

[Barbarian Bulldog]

He was in front of Johnson, so clearly not a support player. Dont think Mahoney would of stopped Johnson but they have rules to follow.

 

[OldDogFan]

Howler.

But Kikau raked that ball too....

evened out tbh

No he didn't the bloke had his arm out free and tried to offload, he lost it cold via a loose carry.

 

[wendog33]

In that pic you can see SJ is shielded to the try line well before the line.

Mahoney "could" have stopped him if given the opportunity. They are smilar size.

 

[Lynchpin]

The obstructor stopped in the line preventing the defender an opportunity to defend Johnson's path to the line.
Obstruction. Refs got it wrong. End of Story. Everyone knows...

That’s only the case when the ball is in the in goal area

 

[Nano]

That's pretty much what it is, either follow the rules or don't so the precedent can be set for what has happened today for obstruction tries to be allowed from now...

They can't be using discretion for a rule they have in black and white as per the rules

 

[steeliz]

Probably Mahoney would not have stopped him, BUT as Anasta said is there a possibility that he could have knocked the ball loose, or held him up?

Who would have thought that Mark Nicholls could have saved the try he did?

But he did it.

And lets face it, Mahoney is much more likely than Nicholls, any day of the week, but was denied the opportunity

Reed turned into Addin to try get the penalty - this is why it happened.
The counter argument is to say his theatrics shouldn’t matter in the Scheme of things yo

I'm just not sure what afb needed to do more for us to be awarded an obstruction penalty? Kill Mahoney?!

He knocked him clean over

Or the counter argument is the Ref should referee the rules.

Glad you still don't let reality get in the middle of your dumbarse comments.

Yeh a cool calm head who thinks a 40 yr old horse in the qld cup will make a difference.

And who has also been put on "ignore" by everyone on the kennel.
