2013 NRL Finals discussion thread

long time hater of the storm. but yesterdays game was ruined by terrible refereeing decisions.

weather he meant it or not, dylan farell doesn't deserve to play another game this season. one of the most horrible falls ive seen in the NRL.
 
If that was NFL Farell would be in massive trouble. Its clear he looked to see where waqa was and made the effort to run underneath him.
 
yeah and like slaters disallowed try. they disallowed on the basis that chambers didn't make it a fair challenge, the reason chambers was in that awkward position was because bryson goodwin used his hips to change chambers direction in mid air.

was just bull shit basically. if they got it back to within two points at that stage, wouldve been some spectacle of a finish. instead it was just ruined.

in Farells defence he genuinely looked worried for waqa, in the aftermath of the fall, but in saying that he shouldn't of ran underneath him in the first place. i hope he gets 2 weeks and doesn't play again.

It was a 50/50 call I wouldn't have been disappointed if the try was given.

This I disagree with, there was no intention whatsoever in that incident. Watching the 30 replays it was clear Farrell was shaping up to tackle Waqa then he jumped and Farrell's momentum put him under his legs.
It was a nasty fall though and I'm happy to see he's alright.

Dylan wasn't looking at the ball at any time, he played the player not the ball. As he saw Waqa jumping he stopped in place and dipped his shoulder. In my opinion he meant to take the player out though I'm sure he didn't mean for it to bad that bad

Agree to disagree, I saw it all as purely accidental. To me Farrell was shaping up to tackle then the sudden jump by Waqa threw him off. There's no way he deserves to be on the sideline over it imo

cant see carney getting half, isnt robson the half? but yeah the rest are on point i reckon, i for about parker hes a good pick.
 
is it just me or is fifita still injured, well i hope hes injured hes had the worst game of his life. they need to start him off the bench, done it for the majority of the season why change now.
 
The Sharks really didn't deserve to win that...but i can't see them going very far from here, half their stars can barely make it through a game. The Cowboys must be fuming with bad refereeing decisions putting them out of the finals 2 years in a row. But i don't think either team really had a shot at the title.

The 7 tackle try and the situation with the time at the end was just embarrassing.
