Dolphins and Wahs destroying each other. Dolphins have about 4 or 5 on report now. Really hope we play them.

Rematch with the Wahs, last time round the Knights dropped the ball in the opening set and were down a couple of tries before some ppl had found their seats, hoping for a better start next week.

That’s interesting as I thought he had nothing against Best, either old man legs is hitting Wighton for retirement or Best is one of the best defensive centres in the game, had him covered easily

Wighton also had Best covered defensively so I think they evened themselves out there. I thought Best should’ve been better in attack against a 33 year old Wighton to be honest, especially given he’s asking for big money

As much as I love Dom like one of my own children we did get A BIT of the rub of the green with that try and it could have gone either way. And if the on field call was stepped out you live with it.

But in no way in hell was the Sullivan no try ever a try so there was no real controversial momentum changer other then giving them a sniff at the end

But with Kleins 6 agains plus the Jais bday game I’m not shedding as much of a tear for poor Wayne

Yeah looking back I do think Dom had a pretty clear toe on the line. The angle from behind made it look like he didn’t, but I think it was more the front of his shoe disappeared from view into the turf. The other two angles were pretty clear he was stepping on it.

But, sometimes you get the rub of the green! And it was sent up as a try.

Weird that Bennett blew up about the wrong try, imo. Maybe he is going a bit senile haha
 
The Warriors are on the ropes. They are going to struggle with our edge forwards. All the pressure is on them and they frankly look like a team who no longer believes they can win this competition. Their contact went down big time once the Phins started using the ball in the last quarter. We are the last team they want to play next week.

If they can see green between the shoe and the white line they’re not going to overturn the on field call, even if yeah probably his shoe was pushing the grass onto the line and his foot was on top of that lol. We got a bit lucky there.

They looked legitimately shell shocked after the game. I reckon if the Dolphins had stolen it with a couple of jammy tries that might have been something they could live with, but besides the one the Hammer scored, their tries really came off the back of the Dolphins finishing over the top of them. By the end of the game the two sides almost equal for metres gained etc despite the Phins having a fair bit less ball, and the Phins killed them for average set distance in the end. Quite frankly I just do not think they could have envisaged themselves losing like that, at home, especially with how on top they were physically for the first 60 minutes. Pretty remarkable given how much defending the Phins middle rotation was forced to do.
 
Yeah, I think we got lucky there too, but that rear shot took away conclusive proof, so the bunker did the right thing.

I wish the media would focus on the bunker following the process. Sometimes the process (like the law) isn't going to be perfect, but it's the best we have, and we have to live with the result.

It doesn't happen often, but it's when the bunker guesses that it gets itself into real trouble.

Not that it matters because the ragebait industry is going to whinge either way. This call to get rid of the bunker altogether is beyond ridiculous.
 
Those decisions went in our favour and rightfully so. They were correct and the correct use of the bunker

I’d like to know though, if both the calls went against us, would the media be blowing up about the bunker or is the outrage just because things didn’t go Wayne’s way
