I thought the bunker has the videos inside. So just because we didn't get the angles from the replays doesn't mean they didn't get them. Don't they have screens that do a simultaneous thingee lol.

They only show a few angles for TV.

The bunker have about 9 they can access.

They have stated if they show all of them, fans will get pissed off that they show too many.

The bunker is in a no win situation. (some fans will say, why aren't we shown all angles & some fans will say we are being shown too many angles)

So, what is the point of replays?
If you are going to show 15 replays of 15 different angles where a try is so obvious that you don't even need a replay but you can't show more than one replay where a bloke steps on the sideline in one of "the BIGGEST" games of the season.......one word, CORRUPT!!

On a positive note, looks like Pearce will continue his quest as being the biggest loser in Origin history.

Holmes hit his back foot on that line bullshit there was not another camera angle from behind him. Seeing there are 5 or 6 different camera angles in an NRL match but not in state of origin rigged

Bernard Sutton on Holmes try - "after looking at all available angles we have no conclusive evidence"

What ****? You looked at one angle you corrupted clown. Sutton bros win again.
Even better, he only looked at one angle, and from that angle his foot was conclusively on the line.

They couldn't look at a second, it would have created too much controversy when they awarded the try anyway.

People need to understand that the NRL is a business just like all the clubs.
If NSW would have won this game, how much gambling interest would there have been for for Game 3? Sweet FA!!
Now, watch the coffers of the betting agencies go through the roof.
Betting agencies make a shit load = NRL make a shit load from sponsorship......not rocket science!
The game has been infected by this gambling virus. Every single show about the NRL has Joel Caine or some other betting agency advertising 20 times in a 30min show. It's so obvious what this great game has become!!

It's more than that..

If NSW win game 2:
  • Ch9 miss out on viewers.
  • Betting agencies end up lobsided as why would Qld turn up.
  • Qld players teams will prefer they are "rested" for the dead rubber.
  • Ticket sales for Origin 3 at Suncorp would flop.
  • The JT and Cronk retiring from football/rep football dream would be shattered.
If the NRL wonder where the crowds are going, its due to things like this.

You're all a bunch of whingers, nsw lost themselves the game.. it's called discipline, respect for the ball. Haynes errors, wade grahams ball strip just to hand a few over . Blame refs all you want but qld are to tough

The ghost of Barry Gomersall was back last night, but there was at least 3 of them.

Origin is a qld set series every year, they lose and the thing dies.

As long as bulldog players dont get hurt im really dont care but to sit and watch the blatant one sided reffing last night was so embarrassing for the code.
I still think nsw can win the third game but they wont because it will be yet another player send off special appeal for the old boys so 55,000 two headed freaks dont burn the place to the ground.
Billy Slater is the biggest CAT to ever play sport in this country.

Now show the one where his heel is down...of course we didnt see it with the 8,000 cameras the bunker has

If his foot doesnt hit the line then fine its a try...but that photo not video tells us nothing we didn't already know

I reckon it was a try, his heel looked up in the air
To be completely fair it did look like his heel was in the air.

But I'm sure there was a camera angle from behind, it wouldn't have hurt to show the fans that camera angle. Even if it wasn't close enough to show a clear shot of his heel, it would have put doubt out of minds that it was purposely avoided showing us that angle to garuanteed that they gave Qld the try.

Im not sure how to get the right balance either. Move Jacko to lock and the second row lacks. Any ideas?

8 Klemmer
9 Lichaa/Mbye
10 Graham
11 Elliot
12 ?
13 Jackson
I think we have to have the Morris boys leave at the end of 2018 along with Graham. That freed up cash needs to be spent of Papalii and R.Tuivasa-Sheck
1. RTS
2. ?
3. ?
4. Hopoate
5. Montoya
6. Foran
7. Frawley (would really like Sezer back for goal-kicking purposes though and he would work well with Foran)
8. Klemmer
9. Mbye
10. Woods
11. Elliot
12. Papalii
13. Jackson (c)

14. Okunbar (big boy could cover backs or forwards) or Brown
15. Tolman
16. Fualalo
17. To'Omaga

we have the potential to form a really strong 17 if the recruitment team have a fucking crack and dont go soft.
