    I think it should have been a penalty try. Can see why the video ref thought otherwise based on an guideline to the rules, but I reckon most people think it should have been, as should have the Ryan Hoffman one a couple of weeks ago, and another one the same weekend by someone I can't remember.

    I don't agree with the call for a penalty try and a sin-bin though. If a penalty try is given then the offender hasn't prevented a try, so they shouldn't be sin binned, as that is what you need for a sin-bin in the first place.

    While 2 wrongs don't make a right, having an extra man for 10 minutes should have meant that the Tigers did much better in this match, so I don't think the call cost them the match. They either should have been more ahead than 2-0 in that 10 minute period, or they should have come home stronger at the end of the match due to fatigue of the Storm players. It's hard to say what is the bigger advantage/disadvantage, a penalty try or 10 minutes in the sin-bin. I would probably argue it's the sin bin (given what happened in origin a couple of years ago, and also when Gillett was sin-binned against the Dragons a couple of yers back when he was 40 metres onside). Perhaps had the Tigers scored 2-3 converted tries in that 10 minute period, you could say that the Storm were unfairly penalised.

    Well that's one reason why the sinbin is so rarely used these days. It can be a punishment too harsh for the crime

    As is constantly suggested by all sorts of people they should bring back the 5 minute sinbin (or bring in an rule like ice hockey where the guys gets to come back on if the other team scores a try), and use it more frequently. Might make some teams reconsider deliberate fouls on their own line, which isn't a strategy that should be rewarded.

    All it takes his for the referee to think a try would have been scored.  

    So in that sense the decision to award (or not award) a penalty try can never be incorrect, because who is to dictate what the referee's opinion is
    But you just know at some point in the next couple weeks, as a "square up" for recent decisions, someone will get sent off for tripping, and someone will get a dodgy penalty try,


    * As a side note, one of the biggest causes of people's negative opinion of referees, is that they judge their decisions against what they think the rules are, or what they want the rules to be. Not on what the rules actually are. Phil Gould is a massive offender here, and I am so so so so so so so so so happy that I can watch Fox now and never have to listen to him again.

    There it is in black and white OSM, it should have been a try but wasn't awarded because of Smiths influence with the refs. Seriously though if it's the refs opinion then it comes down to which is more likely and he was way more likely to score than not.

    Wait what? Cam Smith caught a bus to the bunker to speak to Luke Patten while he was making a decision then returned to the field after the penalty was given?

    Cam Smith due to his standing in the game has more influence over other captains, should he? No. Does he? Yes. He's clever with the way he does it, manipulates the ref. When a penalty against them in blown he stays calm and collected as to not piss them off more but when it's on the other foot and they're wanting the penalty he's a tad more aggressive. He's perfected the art and more captains should do it. Let's not forget that Alex McKinnon did it to himself.

    So on field Ashley Klein says "we have a possible 8 point try" sends it to the bunker.

    Based on all our copy & paste legal eagles that's the refs opinion.

    The bunker must find conclusive evidence to over rule a decision (can one of the legal eagles copy & paste that for me)

    So based on the laws of the game the bunker made a decision outside of the laws of the game and the Tigers were robbed a penalty try.

    That 100% should have been a penalty try on the weekend. Clear cut. He prevented Lawrence from having the opportunity to score the try, illegally, in the in-goal. That should be more than enough to make it a penalty try.

    I disagree with the "The rule not the ruling" stuff people are saying too - its both the rule and the ruling that are fucked.

    Also, totally disagree with the Penalty try and no sin bin. What you are saying is - them scoring the try is enough punishment. They were going to score the try anyway, thats why they did the professional foul. Its no punishment at all! A sin bin is as well as the penalty try being awarded is not only a punishment for the professional foul, its a deterrent.

    I think they already get enough advantage by having a try awarded under the black dot. 10 in the bin is too much imo as there can be 3 tries in that time. I could live with the rules being changed to be have a penalty try to be an 8 point try.

    The rule is subjective, that means a ruling has to be made based on subjectivity. Not sure how to fix it, but you can't expect the refs to get the ruling right every time when the rule itself has no definitively objective parameters.

    I get what you mean but I disagree. He's cheated to stop them for scoring a try, award them the try he would have scored regardless and punish the cheater with ten in the bin.

    Aside from this, I can guarantee you that the NRL is very close to changing the rules and will start sin binning players who repeated infringements inside the ten. There will be a round or two were they crack down on it massively.

    It's an issue with heaps of rulings. People just assume because they don't agree with a decision that it's wrong when in reality it's 50/50.

    As I keep saying you blokes are deadset kidding yourselves if you think the ref's are influenced by Cam Smith. It's bordering on a Lebbo-esque conspiracy theory.

    As for the penalty try, it was 100% clear cut an easy decision for the ref's because it there is too much doubt whether a try 'would' have been scored.

    The video Milch threw up is the only penalty try I have seen given whereby the player did not have control of the ball but it was a different scenario IMO because the bloke was off his feet when he took Cooper (I think) out.

    There are plenty of others over the years where there is just too much doubt whether a try would have actually have been scored, including one in SOO where Cronk was binned also.
