Round 10 Video Ref Shockers

Souths vs Tigers

Issac Luke scores after a Tigers knock on at the beginning of the game. Luke was ruled to have knocked the ball out of the Tiger player’s hands but replays show that it is unclear whether Luke actually came into contact with the ball, but also that the ball traveled backwards towards Luke, so it should have been knocked back play on anyway. Terrible decision, and I was on Luke for first try scorer as well!

Raiders vs Storm

Towards half time Billy Slater spills a kick and Josh Dugan flies through, performs a superb pick up and scores. Replays show that a last grasp by Slater boggles the ball from Dugan’s hands, but he regathers just before the ball touches the ground. Video ref rules No Try, scrum feed to Raiders? Dugan robbed of a clear try. Also quite a crucial decision with the score at 12-0 Storm. Mindless stuff.
