Crusaders v Highlanders (2 April 2021)

Was that on the line from the behind goal shot?

I’m not sure if the TMO saw something we didn’t but seemed very adamant after one replay from behind that the ball was on the line. He didn’t even wait for the second angle.

Looked short on the second angle.

I replayed in goal shot and it looked clearly short. Don't know how Marshall was so sure after obscured back view before that.... Must be an optical illusion or I need glasses

Short then lots of hands on/under the ball. Far from clear.

The ref clearly said he saw the ball on the line. The TMO was not looking at that aspect.

Sheesh that was a bad read by Fainga'anuku during that build up for the Landers try.

Fakatava is a pain in the arse. I like him.

[Siam]

The saving grace of tmo's is that we understand it takes time to be as sure as possible. So don't fucken ignore the one sympathy we have for you! Have a proper look

[Crazy Horse]

@siam at what. What incident are you referring to?

[Siam]

@crazy-horse a try

[Crazy Horse]

@siam which try?

[Siam]

@crazy-horse jesus. The one which wasn't overtly situated behind the goal line. The one that needed tmo intervention

Are you trolling?

[KiwiMurph]

Been really impressed by TUJ. So much better than Tomkinson.

[Crazy Horse]

@siam ah, the Crusader one. Colour me surprised. Which part of the ref saying he saw the ball on the line don't you understand? The TMO was asked about the double movement.

[Bones]

Crusaders 30-16

[Siam]

@crazy-horse don't be obtuse, we all heard the audio and then watched a curious end on replay.

Colour me surprised, play the game not the man

[KiwiMurph]

How was that forward?

[Bones]

Ref invents a knock on because he was too scared to call the holding on penalty 😂

Looked like neck roll to take him off the ball too

@siam I know I will never win this argument on here, but the anti Crusader bull shit on this site is quite tiresome. If it was the other way around people would not be calling for TMO intervention in that case. The ref sawl the ball on the goal line FFS.
