The Rugby League World Cup 2017

How to blow a 20 point lead in 5 minutes by England. Bennett would be absolutely filthy.

The thing is it would have been called a try if it was any NRL team playing against the Bulldogs!!

~c.

Maybe maybe not point is IT wasn't a try. And IT wouldn't have been a try if it was us either. Again the day that gets called a try is the Dat we give up the game. I saw it once in the finals in 2008 when Marshall lost it and Ropati scored. At that time I was YES YES try, but deep down I knew it wasn't. Just like this.

 

[Haddaway]

you're probably right brotha, but why not check it? it decided the game!

Bro even if he did he was going up NO TRY. There wasn't any way anyone would rule against it. It just wasn't a try. Brother, I was up screaming my head off too lol but its not a try. No way no how.

Kinda agree, point is, if Bulldogs were defending that, 110% it's going to video ref as "TRY, check for strip"

Pretty certain that last play would have been given a try in normal time. Even with a pom in the bunker.

Probably saved them some embarrassment v Straya anyhow but tough pill to swallow. Should have been the best comeback I have witnessed since 98 v Parra.

Um no it wouldn't have been. Only an idiot would call a try for a ball lost forward and then scored. At best it's called NO TRY then passed off to the video ref.

No images from dressing sheds, would enjoy watching that blow up. However, the ZEN Tongan crowd is a learning opportunity for teams' supporters felt hard done by!!

Yep probably. Which still shows it would have been a bad call. He lost it and we all would be raging to lose a game like that. So I don't see the uproar tbh. Yes the refs and rules are inconsistent but they got it right here. He lost it. Tbh more should be said about the guy who made the tackle.

 

[Nate DAWG]

i just watched another replay and he played at the ball and clearly knocked it out. Even though i agree it was a loose carry it was still knocked out by Whitehead.I reckon if that goes to video ref then it gets given.

 

[Rodzilla]

wtf its not even close to a strip, he just grabbed the arm in the tackle

Lol 100%. The hatred for England and the love for the underdog is showing. He lost the ball clear as day.

 

[Haddaway]

Tbh all the rage should be shown to Tupou who just lost the ball with a clear line open. But yeah nah let's blame the refs for a less than 50 50 call instead lol.

 

[OITENTA-E-NOVE]

loose carry but dosnt help it was fifita lol

just drops the ball with the line open then does the old look at the hands like they dont work like there suppose to

It's better to blame the refs though. You know how it is on here. Nevermind that the first try was most likely knocked on from Tonga too just forget it all and focus on a less than 50 50 call lol

 

[Nate DAWG]

Just like that all the atmosphere has left the world cup. I wonder if the Kangaroos are going to do the Boomerang formation challenge in the final?? lol

that synchronized walking/chanting should never be seen again

 

[doggieaaron]

Gotta say though that daniel tupou has terrible hands drops so many balls

 

[EXPLORER]

Completely agree
Fatfita lose carry
Correct ref decision
Correct result

 

[Kempsey Dog]

surely everyone was thinking when fifita got the ball that he was going to ran on his own and do something stupid or make an error...
Hes done it this year in origin, sharks elimination final and now for Tonga. This is how he plays, needs to learn how to hold the ball, 100% a loose carry.
