They're saying that he definitely stepped out? That's a bit rich. Benefit of the doubt should've gone IMO.

tbh I think he stepped on the line

First try to Queensland. Billy Slater is a freak when it comes to timing his runs from the kicks by Cam Smith.

You should be in the box then so we don't need 18 replays to work it out. Which, to me, suggests benefit of the doubt.

Greg Inglis try.

IMO he was just inside of the line.

Wow, it doesn't take long to kill a game. Although there is plenty of time left. If Qld win 20-2 it doesn't matter I suppose.

 

[Craig]

Burgey-style rant coming up one feels.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Luke O'Donnell showing his class in this game, has been absolutely woeful. And what about Weyman, had about 25 hitups for 14m gained so far I reckon.

Hayne the only one who actually looks good enough so far.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Though it was going to be 50-2 a few minutes ago. Hayne does some good things, I think that decision possibly evened things up.

Hayne > Folau by several factors.

Dire no try early. Tell me, anyone surprised it was ****ing Kite who fell off Smith in the lead up to Qld's last try? ****'s useless.
Qld's forwards are slow - NSW can win this but they've blown too many chances

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

That was a woeful call on Creagh.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Good to see QLD worried

Note to refs...get less technical and use some ****ing common sense. How hard can it be when the game's going at a million miles an hour?

Edit: I take that last sentence back.

 

[Redbacks]

One shocker video ref call matched by a similar dubious call Unfortunately for the Blues the game had changed significantly.

 

[Craig]

The ref/s have been shocking IMO.

Unless they find a way to give back all the momentum lost after that try it really doesn't. So cut right now.

 

[Blewy]

Absolutely woeful decision to award the NO Try to Hayne.. It didnt surprise me though as Bill "Hollywood" Harrigan always needs to have his say in a game...

That decision killed NSW, from that point they were trying to play catchup..

QLD forwards are looking old for a change.. A couple of hitups in that 1st half were i thought, gee Price looks awful...

Hayne has been superb for NSW, Poore looked good when he came on.. Bailey and Kite are proving to me that they are no longer cut out for rep footy (If Kite ever was).

NSW can still win this if they stay in this game till late...

Yeah the first call basically turned into a 12 point swing...you get a bunch of young blokes with their tails up turned into a bunch of young blokes chasing their tails because some stupid **** in the ref's box can't equate 300 looks at the video to there being some doubt.

Throw the call against Hayne on Folau leading to another try and they've done well.

Glad to see Hayne saying to the linesman "You were right there", grow some balls.

 

[Craig]

Kite - most over-rated?

 

[Burgey]

**** I'd like Kite to catch fire near me so I could refuse to piss on the ****. Useless. So much better with Weyman and Poore there.

Thought Creagh was very good running at Lockyer and Hodges in the first half.
