    I do not believe weve pulled a BOD call all season.

    Although most of our tries have gone to the man in the sky, and the ones like the try in question, have been looked at 6-7 times at least, we always seem to end up with a pineapple up our arses.

    Still there is no conspiracy. Even though every week I see Souffs and The Wankos The Tards and even the Aussie team get BOD calls.

    Nothing to see here, move along.

    You just had to encourage them. We get shit calls no doubt though.

      With regard to the last try, Tasi(?) attempts to push Weyman back. His arm is under Weyman's ball carrying arm. If Tasi has his arm over/on Weyman's arm, he can't unload.
      Have you ever thought for just one second that if Tasi didnt have his arm where he had it but instead had his arm where you wanted it or now think it should have been Weyman may have crasshed over himslef It happened very quickly and for a split second it looked as though Weyman minght score himself I doubt Tasi had time to think where he was going to put his arm or worry about stopping an offload He was just desperately trying to make a tackle and stop Weyman from scoring
      I respect all our moderators here. Past present and even future. Always have done and always will do a wonderful job.

        There was not one shot that clearly showed the ball not hitting the ground. The side on shot showed the ball was not elevated from the ground and chances were that part of it hit the ground. If that wasn't a clear case of BOD then we will never get one. It was more BOD than Pez's one against the Storm. Yet we hear nothing from Billy so far. I would also like the advantage rule explained to me as I couldn't for the life of me see where any advantage took place when Morris dropped that ball to Maubs.

        BTW was it just me or in the second half around their 40M line did a loose ball hit Soward's hands and clearly go forward only for him to pick it up and the refs called play on? I thought I was seeing things.

          No mate I saw all those incidents the same way you did. And the zillion forward passes from dummy 1/2, man it was frustrating during the game, they just played that flat. Either they are the masters of flat balls or the touches need to get ASAP to OPSM. And I haven't even touched on the wrestle/hold downs they have perfected since Waynekerr graced their club. They are almost as good as Melba at it.

          Still there's no conspiracy, we lost fair and square, just another perfect display by the Merged wonders.

          You know it makes sense.

            Mini could have at least reacted like he had scored, even if he had his doubts. I reckon it would have a least been awarded TRY Benefit of the Doubt, if he had jumped and screamed like he had just won lotto. Instead his reaction was like he had just lost his best friend. So the odds were stacked against it being awarded a TRY. That's all the pink cheats needed to justify their cause

              I thought Minis was a BOD try , however the thing that wrecked it for him was the 2nd attempt to ground the ball. You only need a blade of in goal grass to touch the ball for it to be a try. He should have jumped up celebrating after the 1st attempt, video refs ar'nt that smart.

                on my tiny 50 inch it was benefit of the doubt , most of the merge passes from dummy half are forward? its an old bennett trick?

                  They didn't show any replays of the no try at the ground did they? It seemed as though there was a problem with showing the replay. I had no idea if we were getting rorted with that decision or not.

                    Yep that happened, you weren't just seeing things. It was blatant and no one around me could believe they let it go.

                    Also thought the lost ball by BJ was almost identical to the penalty given against braith for stripping. Braith hit the arm just below the ball and I thought that's what happened with BJ's if not actually touching the ball in that instance. I thought other than the 10m (which all teams are more disciplined at than us) the refs were appalling all game.

                      The penalty for backchat was the only call that "went our way", but it was outrageous. It should never have been given, we didn't need it and it turned the game in illawarra's favour. Without it it was a drop out, more pressure from us and regardless of whether we scored from that set, there would have been 2 or 3 mins left on the clock. At best, steelers could have gone into golden point.

                      Instead they kicked off feeling they had been cheated, with renewed vigour, and the rest is history.

                        Those conniving referees, giving us a penalty, knowing it would lose us the game...

                        Outrageous..

                          Well I think you're being paranoid now; I really can't see that referee knowing that would be the outcome.

                          I understand your frustration at the biased refereeing during the rest of the match (documented by many others already), but try not to let that affect you so badly that you start clutching at conspiracy theories.
