Chiefs v Blues (27 March 2021)

Don't think it was forward. See that kind of floating pop offload as a player is going to ground all the time. Wasn't forward out of the hands, even if it might have floated forwards a few cm due to momentum.

Is a deliberate knock down not a yellow anymore? Blatant from Dalton.
I must have missed when they made them an automatic yellow like Justin Marshall seemed so convinced it was.

Yeah he was being an egg most of the game. A lot tend to end in a yellow due to the nature of it - last gasp attempt to stop a try scoring attack. This wasn't that.

@chris agreed except Plummer was not good. Blues looked much better once Faiane came on.
I thought Plummer was ok considering Black inside him was poor,I will have a closer look when I watch the replay
Fair. Black was not good.
@kiwimurph The more the competition moves forward the more he is being shown up and if the Blues forwards aren’t going forward it is more obvious. Just wondering are all our first fives midgets? Mounga gets away with it because he is quick and can break the line with his elusiveness. The rest appear to be excellent NPC players.

Without rewatching that, in the world of competent officials Blues won.
The GCT obstruction is pretty ludicrous. The maul laws are built around legalised obstruction. To not give that makes a mockery of a mockery. Granted, if ref had blown real time, slightly harder to complain.
As for final awarded non-try, on a close watch the ball was plainly marginally forward. It wasn't clear and obvious, and it wasn't much forward, but it WAS forward.
So the ref misses a forward pass because it wasn't clear and obvious, and awards a try. But because the forward pass wasn't clear and obvious (as it wasn't in the first place) the TMO can't overturn it.
Almost a paradox.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
The rules need to be amended to state that if there is a mistake, even if not clear and obvious, the decision is overturned.
Having said that, apalling performance by the Blue. The fact they were the legitimate winners is not excuse for the huge dropping of standards.

When you watch the overhead forensically is it clear the ball went forward. It ISN’T obvious — you have to look very carefully to see it.
Jacobson passes just after he places his right knee on ground. Arm comes up. Possibly goes forward (not clear) but not back. Ball goes forward, probably a foot.
He’s grounded so it’s not momentum.
Just wasn’t a try.
In the old days wouldn’t have been questioned and try would have stood.
But now we DO have the technology, and TMO consistently getting decisions wrong.
If ref didn’t see the offload, his opinion oughtn’t to count.
But as a Blues fan I’m almost glad they didn’t get the win, because their drop in standards didn’t deserve one.

@bones said in Chiefs v Blues (27 March 2021):
@pakman I didn't see it go forward.
You need to do play/pause repeatedly to be clear. If you watch other angles to see exactly when ball released and then do pause/play on overhead, marking where ball left hands, you’ll see it.
Ball let go a bit before five yard line and caught almost on it.
All that said and done, it’s in the book now.

We already concluded last week that I should be TMO. Stop challenging for my title.

Black might not look it but he is easily the biggest of the 1st 5s. Listed as 1.85 m and 86 kg. Larger than Perofeta, for example.

Hate to tell you but momentum is still on the ball when a player stops.
'Clear and Obvious' was a term they started using to draw a line in the sand on decision making.
Unlike fans that will make a ruling on 'likely' or 'probable' the idea is that unless you can clearly see an obvious happening then you don't overturn a decision.
Even after viewing in over and over and frame by frame as you suggest it still isn't clear and obvious so it beggars belief that you can say that it happened. On what evidence?
It was a line ball that was easy to declare a challenge on even in real time. That still doesn't mean it happened.I suggest you apply the same rigour to the maul non-try and you will see Dalton receive the ball then unbind (or unbind just before or as he received it) the join back onto a player in front. Pretty clear and pretty obvious. He didn't keep one arm bound to the original maul and the guy in front had also unbound

I think some of Black's less than ideal performance last night sits with Mcdonald, he is fucking around with the 9, not allowing a combo to be built.
Week 1 - Nock
Week 2- good Ruru
Week 3 - shit Ruru
Week 4 - ChristieI think Dalton is playing like Cane circa 2014/2015, and also better than the AB captain.

Yep pakman, but if you do that and still struggling to work out if ball came out forwards or backwards the right decision was made, it has to be clearly forward to over rule the try. I think if the ref had called it no try because of forward pass it wouldn't have been over ruled either. So as a neutral I pretty content with decision.

I think the reality is Otere is not a top 10, he was pretty ordinary last year until he had BB helping him from 15 and he has had only a couple of good games this year when Blue's pack was absolutely on top.

I am not unacquainted with physics. In this case the only relevant momentum was of Jacobson's arm.
With TMO technology it was clear but not obvious.
And not line ball but a foot forward.
Just boils down to whether we want to use technology to ensure correct decisions -- or not.
