NRL 2019 NRL Grand Final: Sydney Roosters v Canberra Raiders

[010203]

Seems like Gerard Sutton thought the ball touched the Raiders after Ben Cummins said '6 again' hence the call was changed.

Wow just wow.

 

[Ronnie Baby]

So the AFL and NRL Grand Finals turn out to be fizzers; can't wait for the BBL to be decided by a wicket on a no-ball in the final over and complete the hat-trick, pun intended

 

[Aucklander]

So, just watched the replay and it should clearly of been last tackle call. Cummins singles 6 again, but is clearly corrected by the pocket ref where it is called last tackle.

It was a s**t way to end a grand final but the Raiders just had to score when Cronk was in the bin...

 

[Andrew Mc]

Sounds like they were calling last

They were. But the Raiders also saw the arm wave saying 6 more. Despite 3 yells of 5th/last tackle after that, I suspect their minds are already in the 6-again space.

After calling 6 again


You can't change your mind!

 

[maryjames]

The rosters coach just said I like to thank the water boy and the referees..

Clear as you can get.

Now if Jake Friend can stay fit for Origin, that'd be nice.

Doctor Gero witness the high regard the BBL is held in.

What's with the 'first time a team's gone back to back in a unified competition in 25 years' comments

Broncos went "back to back" in 1997-98 however 1997 was in the 10 team breakaway Super League so it doesn't count as a real "back to back". (Knights won the ARL Premiership that year).

I'm sure Roosters supporters were pretty annoyed when they first heard the changeover call too. Considering it seemed to bounce off a Raiders head. I guess you wouldn't have been complaining had you scored on the next set...

Had that happened and the call been wrong - which we still don't know, cos 9 hasn't actually analysed it - it would've "just" been a wrong decision in the heat of the game.

It wouldn't have been the ******* farce and the debacle that we ended up with. Wighton did everything right. He saw the 6 again, he acted on that, and he got ****ed.

 

[Chief]

“I didn’t see ... um ... bringing that up at this time... ?”

As great a player as JT was, he really isn't cut out for being a tv commentator.

He’s the only one who had the balls to raise the issue.

Yeah, they have. It came off his head/shoulder. Was 5th tackle. And was called multiple times after the initial 6 again was called (took some time).

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Don't give a * about these relatives.

However the Raiders only scored once up to that point....no guarantee they would of done anything more even with an extra set.....best team still won. The game was gone when Leilua did not pass to his unmarked winger imo.

Of course it wouldn't, because it would have gone your way.

The runner deflected the ball and there was no penalty either. Shambolic.

 

[giggler99]

You can feel the anger in Ricky Stewart, man he really wants to let off steam but has obviously been told not too say anything.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Don't give a fu** about these relatives.

Hey, at least we're getting the end of game celebrations these days in Melbourne (not sure where you are!). Wasn't that many years ago that we'd be watching repeats of Friends or the Big Bang Theory thirty seconds after the whistle had blown!

Because it isn't a penalty.
