There is someone actually named Cooper Cronk? thats unreal i love that name!
Man, what the heck, I'm going to lay the dosh on the Broncos.
If expereince means anything, I'm banking on that to get them over the line in this one, and at $2.22, I'm all over it
Make that $2.25!!! Wooohh!
really, cos i only got 2.10 at the local pub, or should i say, my girlfriend got 2.10, she put 20 on, and she is SO happy you would think she won 100 grand. Bloody broncos, and what was going on with Simpkins, and the vid refs, a few terrible calls killed the Storm, but the Broncos were the better team on the night, and my hat goes off to them...who won the Churchill by the way, cos us vics get the game and thats it...i had a tenner on Cammy Smith, but he play terrible, so more money wasted.
Broncos by 7
Churchill - Berrigan
1st try - Darius Boyd
Why was the melb "try" disallowed? it came off his head and went backwards :S:S very confused, can someone clarify the rule?
Thx for the clarification!When a player knocks it on, comes off his body etc. when playing at the ball, its a knock-on. It doesn't have to touch the ground to be classified as a knock-on.
Once it hits the player and projects forward, thats the first indescretion in the play. In this case the video-ref decided it came off Hoffman first, so it's a knock-on.
If I remember correctly, both Hodges & Hoffman both went for the ball. It looked as if Hoffman got a piece of it as well as Hodges. It was a 50/50 call for mine.
EDIT: Yes Lippo, if it projects forward from Hoffman first no matter what happens after that, it's a knock-on.
The storm got absolutely butt reamed by the refs, there's no way the better team won on the night, the storm dominated about 55-60 minutes of the game but got no rewards because the refs constantly shafted them.
With regards to the disallowed try, first up, eel you've got no idea. The ball clearly came off hodges hands, back into his head, then onto Hoffman's head, and from there it went backwards to King who scored the try. The entire commentary team agrees with me, that was a try. Watch the replay in slow mo, it's pretty obvious the refs ****ed up.
The worst screw up though was the missed penalty that got the Broncos to 10-8 in front, that was absolutely blatantly obvious, something a referee should never miss, and that turned the game for the Broncos. Add to that all the dodgy 50/50 stuff that everytime went the Broncos way, and it makes for a nice shafting of the storm.
Nice to see Webcke go out on a high, Lockyer is a champion, Berrigan was brilliant, but the Storm deserved the title and got robbed of it.
like my old boss used to say to me all the time when i used to complain about a shitty ref.......a good team beats a bad referee!!!
GO THE BRONCOS!!
