Hey guys just wondering whon on here watched the cowboys game.
1- Just after half time Luke O'Donnel from the cowboys clearly treads on the line and TJ peter kirby misses it. The touch Judges are there to put their flag up and assists the referee's and give goals. The only thing he did right this week was probably put his flag up for a goal. My opnion is to make such an error like this he should be stood down for quite a few weeks given it is a very big error and led to a change in the game with the cowboys going up the other end of the field.
2- The obstruction call by Tim Mander when Luke Covell scored for the sharks. My opinion is it was a very harsh call due to the fact i thought the cowboys player put his arms around Reni Maitua therefore it is an obstruction against the cowboys players. That is how i saw it anyway i would like to no other peoples opinions on this decision.
3- The pass from Jonathon Thurston to Luke O'Donnel for his try was clearly forward yet 4 officials couldnt see it.
4- The sharks were awarded a penalty for a high tackle where it hit him where the bicep is.
My opinion was that the 4 officials of this game were fairly inexperianced to the Nrl and robert finch should think about his pairings. Mohammed Fajajo went well calling 2 blatent forward passes but from mu point of view he was the only one who deserves a pat on the back. And chris james aswell i thought he did well.
