  • Bunker get's it wrong once again. Re - Manu No Try

    Graham Annesley has reviewed the Manu no try and has conceded that the Bunker got it wrong. At no stage was Edwards going to stop Manu from scoring so the obstruction rule shouldn't be factored into the equation. The Bunker had no right to overrule the on field decision!

    These are highly paid full time officials that don't know the rules.FFS!

    RL round four: Bunker robbed Roosters via incorrect obstruction call on Manu try
    It is of no help now to Roosters fans still seething over a controversial bunker call in the loss to the Panthers, but NRL head of Football Graham Annesley has admitted his team made an error.Graham Annesley has conceded a controversial obstruction call that cost Roosters star Joey Manu a fair try against the Panthers was wrong.

    The NRL head of football has wasted no time conceding that video referee Chris Butler failed to use the necessary level of discretion in incorrectly deeming that Panthers fullback Dylan Edwards was obstructed from defending the no-try due to a collision with Roosters decoy runner Jared Waerea-Hargreaves.

    The alleged obstruction from Waerea-Hargreaves on Edwards occurred 20-metres away from where Manu grounded the football.

    The no-try call happened in the 22nd minute with the Roosters trailing 12-0 nil.

    Instead of waiting until Tuesday’s media briefing to respond to the howler, Annesley stepped forward on Friday morningAnnesley moved to differentiate the call between last weekend’s polarising decision to pull back a Manly try due to Jake Trbojevic running an obstruction against Parramatta’s Luca Moretti.

    “Last week I supported two obstruction rulings by the Bunker,’’ Annesley said.

    “I talked about the need for the lead runner to continue through the defensive line, and for the play not to be turned back through the gap created by a collision with a defender.

    “Neither of these factors were present in last night’s decision (for the Manu no-try).

    “In the circumstances, the Bunker does have discretion to consider whether a defender could have prevented the try.

    “In my opinion, the try would have been scored regardless and the on-field decision should not have been overturned”.

    The Daily Telegraph understands Annesley was comfortable with Butler’s decision to award Sunia Turuva a try for the Panthers even though Liam Martin ran through as the lead runner and interfered with Sitili Tupouniua and Luke Keary as they came across in cover defence.

      Sitillis try was a no try as Egan Butcher was touching the goal post and Teddys hair was quiet untidy

        Yes it may have changed momentum if awarded but I’m not too fused. Penrith dominated that game from the start and deserved to win.

          The Roosters should of defended better for 80 minutes.

                The outcome or who the better team was is irrelevant. The real issue once again is potential match fixing, manipulating 1st try scorer, margin etc.

                There is no way that 1, The official in the Bunker get's such a basic rule wrong. 2, The on field referee who can overrule the Bunkers decision didn't step in and award a try. How can 2 highly paid full time officials both get it wrong?

                  I agree. But it’s much easier to handle a loss when you don’t actually deserve to win.

                    How hard is it to be consistent with the rules? IMO I don't care whether its the 79th of a GF and your team is down by 6 points, or a SOO game or a trail game. The enforcement of the rules need to be the same. If a ruling is good enough to made to decide a GF, than the same interpretation of the rule should apply in every minute of every game, every round in every grade.

                      Totally agree mate.

                      I’m not upset with this one as Penrith were by far the superior side last night,always in control of the game..

                        Why was the scoreline so close if "Penrith dominated that game"? When a team dominates a game the scoreline is a blowout. My definition of dominating a game is what we did to Souffs last round.

                          If you can’t admit that Penrith dominated that game then you are a bigger idiot than I thought.

                            Even though many people will see Sitili's try as a square up, panthers too good, and all the other cliches, the timing of the disallowed try was terrible. If we were down only 6 points at the 25th-minute it is a different ball game.

                              Will the moron in the bunker get dropped?

                              Probably not.
                              1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
                              1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.
