Quote: Cronus "My suspicion is that Hall knows he touched it but didn't think he'd grounded it. He therefore didn't appeal in the hope the ref would give the drop-out.

*edit* Just seen a post-match interview with Hall and that's exactly what he says.'"


True. But it is irrelevant. The VR shouldn't make a decision based on the player response.

Quote: JB Down Under "Tbh the two penalties on half way on 4th tackles for laying on were the game changers. Australia fluffed it first time but got given another go where they scored and the momentum was all their way. Considering the flops and wrestling by the Australians it was farcical to penalise england only and this killed us.

Whichever england officials agreed to australian ref and VR wants castrating (that's if theyve got any balls!)'"


This is spot on. We've embarrassed ourselves by agreeing to it in the first place. Having been given the chance to referee their own team the Aussies will never let us down when it comes to ensuring the "right" result.

Oh I agree entirely, but it explains why Hall didn't go crazy appealing for a try.

Speaking as a ref, who normally defends refs, the following observations can be made :

1) That was a try under the rules of the game. None of this "in Super League" . The rules are clear - downward pressure on the ball by any part of the hand or arm is a try. It was a try, 100%. The decision was the worst example of blatant corruption I have ever seen at international level, and the video referee should be banned from reffing anything other than park football again. It was shocking. Sickeningly corrupt. I would be ashamed to be involved in that decision. Disgraceful.

2) The cheated try will gain most column inches, but where the Aussies petulant demand for their own biased referee really paid off was in general play. On several occasions when the Aussies in the second half were coming to the end of a set without having made their 40 metres, a penalty was given for a spurious interference offence. This allowed them to clear their half and gain field position. England received no penalties - not a single one - for the same offence in the same period, despite plenty of examples of interference as bad or worse than those which threw a lifeline to a struggling Aussie side. The referee's refusal to award any penalty for clear interference offences to the English side was outrageous, and was instrumental in ensuring that the Australians gained the position to score their second-half tries, while also denying the English side any field position until the last five minutes.

Taken together, the corruption of both video referee and onfield referee in favouring their own, home, team, was easily the most disgusting thing I've seen in international rugby league in forty years. Every single Australian official and administrator should feel ashamed of what transpired today in Melbourne. I feel sickened by it, and by them.

Quote: Starbug "I dont understand how every kick by Matty Smith resulted in him being tackled and not a single 1 was penalised as late

Quite incredible really'"



Also not forgetting when Widdop chipped, about 3 times, he was tackled American football style to prevent him getting the ball.

I'm more angry and disgusted at the refereeing performance than the VR decision!!!! Just do much went on.

RFL don't have bottle to kick up a fuss

Every time England play the Aussies there's also biased cheating refs because the Aussies do what they do best and whinge until they get their own way. Even the Kiwi refs are shockingly bias so it makes no difference.

The only way this will stop is if the RFL outright refuse to play against the Australians anymore.

As they think Origin is the pinnacle of R.L they may be happy with that.

The best and only way to respond is to win the next two games and then stand back and watch the Aussies winge big style. England can win this tournament. They now have two huge disappointments to motivate them i.e. the last second WC semi defeat against NZ and now this against Australia. The fat lady hasn't sung yet!

I have sympathy for the video ref because he would have been lynched had he given a try.

I was enraged at the ref being Australian but. Having watched the match I have little or no complaint with the official that reffed this game.
To claim the last gasp was a certain try is not really credible, it could have been but there could not be much argument with it not being given either.

We would have been far more vociferous had Tomkins scored the one that Inglis had disallowed had the role been reversed and I would have been claiming cheats myself over it, that rule is crap and should be done away with, I thought it a perfectly good try and that it should have stood.

Although I will contend and tend to agree that had it been the aussies who did have the last gasp chance of winning with that incident then it may have had a slightly different outcome.

We played the second half far to conservitently and let them off the hook by doing so. The game was ours at half time and we threw it away. Robbie Paul also hit the nail on the head by stating" the Australians began to play like an Australian side can do, we let them and they did.
Nobody really had a poor game for England but RU tactics and habits from Joel Tomkins were responsible for their first try.

Again a very good test match which we should and could have won but did not.

We did the same against samoa. In a position to take control in the second half, but let them back in. Had we done what we should have done against samoa, we wouldn't have to worry about points difference next week. We'd only need to win. I hate all the whining and moping on here, another hard luck story. Our destiny is still in our own hands. Beat NZ by 2 scores next week, and right todays wrongs against australia in the final. We can still have the last laugh.

5-0 pen count to the Aussies in the 2nd half was a big factor in the Aussies 'playing like an Australian team'

Not saying they weren't pens, but surely the Aussies weren't 100 % clean in the 2nd half?

Widdop tackled well aftevkickingbthe ball being blatantly obvious.

Despite all that We actually score at the end it it gets chalked off.

Pathetic Australian bullying blinkered vision.

You can't just dismiss the part the officials played in that game today. Slowing ruck down by both teams. Only england got penalised in second half for it . How england were only awarded one penalty ( and that was for obstruction) in second half is beyond me.

I agree about the rule being crap and done away with, but THAT is the rule we played under today so this quote I a bit silly icon_wink.gif

However we played and whatever the reff did against us in open play, one point still holds true............The disallowed try was grounded by Hall. It matters not if he only gets a finger tip on it (even his little finger) The evidence is there for ALL to see and those that can't see it or either blind................( or in the VR's case ) just cheats, plain and simple.
