Didn't the NRL think this tournament worthy of the bunker. They put up a million bucks and expect teams to cop it on the chin. They either use it for all tournaments or not at all. No excuse and it makes them look unprofessional. Or maybe it was a money thing.
The in goal judge was caught way out of position yet called it a try. The linesman was obscured by bodies on the touch line so couldn’t call it. The ref went with the in goal judge who was in no position to make the call ! The Panthers were robbed, but should never have got themselves in that position to be robbed , by trying that ridiculous short kick off with 45 seconds left and them leading the match ???
Ref not at fault with this. Why was the touch judge so far back? This isn't anything new, they just aren't doing their job and no one is being pulled into line
Jeepers... this is a fun tournament, and decisions will made - not all correct. Leave the game ruining tech out of it. There were a stack of forward passes in the tournament that also impacted games. There will be errors, live with it.
