why has nobody mentioned.........

[Fro]

.....the fact that the pass from Stewart to hicks to score our last try was a long way forward.

For a site that is supposed to be "real" and not just follow the party line methinks a little unbiased observation may not go astray.

It was no worse than that King threw in Origin one.

i missed it.vegas was pulling the lampshade out of my ass as i jumped for joy.

 

[Fro]

we arent talking about origin 1 will, and 2 wrongs dont make a right.

P.S. great game SOO 1, my first time at Suncorp, well worth the trip 🙂

Theres an image that I will unfortunately carry to my grave :doh:

 

[Dan]

I thought it was forward to but I didnt really see it that clearly i wa too excited

 

[Fro]

mate it was well and truly forward, I wasnt complaining mind you.

thats the problem with complaining about the refs, yes he got a heap wrong, which just makes him a sh!it ref, but not that he cost us the game.

 

[Dan]

are you a bears supporter 😀

 

[Fro]

Careful Daniel, I know where you live............. well actually I dont but I thought it sounded suitably threatening 😉

sue..that would have to be one very big lampshade

 

[sue ridgepipe]

yeah.ok.it was a beach umbrella.cant pull the wool over your eyes RB.

 

[Garts]

if you listen to Goulds explanation of the forward pass rule it was not forward.

 

[Stevie]

Because it wasnt Forward , its all to do with the Hands if its Thrown back form the hands , and floats forward its ok

 

[Fro]

pigs arse it wasnt forward

and I'll bet that lampshade isnt as big as it used to be 🙂

 

[PEPSI]

i was just going to say what Six said, its called inertia, it happens often when a bloke as fast as stewart throws a past, he passes it backwards, and remember backwards is only 1 degree beyond sideways, then because of inertia it floats forward.

needless to say niether the touchy or the ref could keep up with hicks so **** them!

the issue re the kick off is simply a rule issue, not open to interpretation.

 

[Fro]

Sorry Pepsi, I know what you are saying but it doesnt apply in this case, it was a relatively short pass and was going nowhere but forward.

Your second comment was a lot closer to the mark, they were too slow to keep up 🙂

As I said earlier, he is just a crap ref. much like the majority of them, but there is nothing more sinister to it than that

 

[fLIP]

It is hard to tell. I actually skipped back on the recording to see it a couple of times and to be honest I don't think I could have said unless I was in line with the pass at the ground.

Looks forward but is hard to tell wether it was momentum or deliberate.

I have watched that pass on the telly and it was not forward. It was passed behind Stewart. Even Graham Murray didn't call it forward and said it was okay.
