Game Day: Parramatta v Manly, Saturday [Round 4, 2020]

[HoldenV8]

I just want to know how many blown calls that cost teams a win will Cummins make (or be involved in seeing as how this howler came from the touch judge) before they realise that he is FAR from being the #1 referee.

Really?
I thought we looked a great deal better with Croker on the park. Defensively superior, quicker distribution, superior vision, imo.

Fainu is obviously a massive loss, Levi, to me anyway, should be the sub.

I think Croker adds something but he often made a few bad pass selections or at least ones that confused the team probably needs to work on communication out of dummy half

Annesley has just confirmed they got it wrong. Give us our 2 points then.

Your hands can look like they are facing backwards with the camera angle behind the play.

No way a pass will float that much forward if the ball was released backwards over such a short distance, the exception being for example a clear break is made running with the ball at top speed and passing over a reasonable distance while at top speed.(a winger on a break or like the long Buhrer pass from a few seasons ago)

Wrong. Read the rules. Ball clearly was thrown in a backward motion from hands. What happens after that is inconsequential. Tom threw it back, fair ball, fuked touch judge who was not watching Tom's hands cost us a win.

Well the NRL have called it, we were ROBBED!! Everyone knew it was a dreadful call. No justice!!!

 

[Technical Coach]

And if it was called that way every time then I would agree with you TC... BUT they call it out of the hands and 100% that went BACK out of the hands... bad call...

Camera angle behind the play makes almost every pass look like it's back from the hand, at best it was lineball from the hand.

In such instances i will take a linesman view directly in line with the play over "angles and the law of physics worship" everyday of the week.

We scored the try .so should be given the points. No time for parra to score again

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Got what we deserved.

If we won that we would not be working on our slack stuff enough.

DCE and the entire team and kicks to the in goal just so horrible tonight.

Suli lazy, lazy and more lazy, standing watching, not getting back to help out. I'd drop him.

Garrick looked like he was carrying a calf injury in the left leg from the kick off for mine. Might explain goal kicks as well.

Just too many settlers to be a top team. Especially from Jake. It has to change.

Don't let the score fool us. ATM this team is a mile off being top 4 material.

What month is finals again?

We played poorly and still won the game

 

[Andyvb88]

My view on this topic of momentum and forward passes is consistent with what i have said over a decade in this room, i don't let fan bias alter it.

You can be wrong some times

@Technical Coach 😎

Thank you darling

 

[HoldenV8]

His short kicking game let him down, but he did an enormous job defending and started to own that second half with his passing left side and right, taking it to the line and giving great balls. We looked like busting them a lot of the night.

As I said earlier in the thread, until tonight the Worms defence hasn't been tested all year. Late in the game we showed that they may be good front runners, but put their goal line defence under pressure and they will crack.

Your opinion means little (or mine for that matter)...

The call should be in line with what the NRL considers forward... and on this occasion it was not (as voiced by Graham Annesley)... you are wrong, the touchie was wrong and IT is wrong that we lost this game...

Not the first time... let's get a win against the donkeys...

 

[madmax]

Pass was forward by a mile, all this crap about momentum and point of release being backwards is over thinking it.

Linesman was right in line of the play yet we take a camera angle behind the play over his perfect view of the pass.(i feel sorry for linesman they can't win) Camera is behind the play making the point of release look backward, as the camera catches up with the play you see the true direction of the pass---it's not momentum that is floating the ball almost a full metre forward over a short distance.

Remember Tom is nowhere near full running speed, not even running a straight line to increase the chances of momentum taking the ball forward over a greater distance in the same direction---- a ball can float forward yes but not by that much over a short distance due to the laws of physics.

Slow the play down and you see where Tom released the ball before contact behind the 20m display number and the pass is caught almost on the line of the 20m----will take the linesmans view over camera angles and an estimation over how much physics has a play any day of the week.

Seems you’re the only one in the rugby league world that thinks the pass was forward by miles lololol.....suggest you visit Spec Savers! It’s clear to see the pass was in a backward motion & the ball floated forward after going back at least a meter therefore an incorrect call as agreed by experts of the game!

We was robbed nrl confirmed it

Aaaah camera was in direct line with the ball. There was no angle from behind. It was a fair pass by the rules. Garrick scored game over. We were robbed by a touch judge who wasn't watching the player's hands

Don’t need them. Proved tonight we can beat anybody given half a chance. Bring on the finals.

Way to harsh after such a gutsy effort.
