Rugby League

I thought England got screwed on that try as well.

Was interesting though because the ref didn't actually refer them to check on it, they were trying to find out what the restart was going to be, then they were like oh **** this may even be a try.

I hope that the NRL gets rid of the ridiculous way they handled try reviews this year. People thought the benefit of the doubt rule was bad, but it was infinitely better than what we have now. The ref is forced to guess try or no try whether he has any clue or not, and that decision becomes binding if the video ref can't overrule it. So if the ref said try, even though he didn't have the slightest clue and just said try because he's forced to guess something, then that's what it will be.

If you're going to go upstairs for a try, you may as well say OK you blokes figure this one out because we aren't sure what happened.

Problem is the video refs are as drunk as Fittler in the commentary box half the time based on some of the decisions they've come up with.

Best. Quote. Ever.

We don't have that in Super League so I think that might have been why a lot of people were saying it would have been given over here (I was one who thought it would have been).

The game this weekend should be interesting. I think NZ will edge it but I can't see England getting the 10 point win they need to get into the final. However we don't seem to have the mental block against NZ like we do against Australia, so who knows. If McNamara plays Joel Tomkins again, can we get another coach?
