It was very weird. It was like he was breaking down what happened as if the ref had made a fair pass call and Annesley was just supporting his decision. He didn't actually put up his hand and say the ref got that wrong.
I don't even think it went forward at all!!! It was one of the most insanely incorrect calls I've ever witnessed. Sort of thing that makes you wonder about corruption.
He's an absolute dribbler!
True, he didn't actually say 'Ref was wrong'. That was my wording haha. He waffled on about it being an 'optical illusion' and but confirmed it 'was a fair pass'.
Ref was wrong sounds better though 🙂

Optical Illusion - bal thrown back and “technically goes forward”
What if the balls is thrown forward and goes is even more forward. Not an optical illusion if it applies to the Roosters in 2013.
Sick of this. Happens every bloody year when Manly gain any momentum.

What about this one
Can you post the photo from 2 frames earlier when the ball just touched the ground? Might show something different.

I think that was a fair try. There was an earlier frame where the ball was more upright, and a gap between it and the line with his hand on it.

Just to help save anyone’s sanity and brush past the mind numbing stats bullshiit, FF to the 8:00 minute mark for the answer most of us already new. The pass was fair. In layman’s terms, the filthy cheating Sutton cartel has struck again in the shape of Chris "there’s no way I’d get to ref if my brother wasn’t the boss" Sutton.
Traditionally, we call it 'weakly', not weekly because of the lame excuses.
and by we..I guess I mean me as I did it the last few years. lol
(thanks for posting)
nah, my mate sent that to me yesterday, that's all he sent
