10 Controversial Referee Decisions That May Have Cost A Team An Important Match (NRL)

Forward pass or backwards out of the hands? Knock on or knock back? Try or no try? Rugby league is no stranger to controversy with big moments in big games sometimes being decided by a 50/50 call by the referees. We will be ranking this list based on moments that occurred in a finals series, state of origin match, or grand final. Some of these calls are correct, some of these calls are wrong but we will let you be the judge!

This shows that Sterling is the most unbiased commentator. He always calls it spot on even when it is against his team. Probably has a strong sense of justice after having to put up with Hartley making biased calls against Parramatta during his playing career.

[@roark8009]

@M you came to a NRL channel. ROFLMFAO

[@xxmrprozxxproz330]

@M okay ?

[@Ozmac]

Gee you parra supporters won't let it go will you. OK. Fact time. When Hartley stuffed the tackle count up manly put a bomb up near half way, got the ball back with 6 again and scored. How could he have engineered that. We also forget in that game manly was trailing 11-2 (remember only 3 points for a try then) and he sent manlys John Gray off. How's that for biased. Parramatta whinged the whole way through the 70's and they still whing to this day. The 75 semi against manly was a classic whinge fest ( Hartley wasn't a ref then). Every manly try was unfair according to Parramatta. They are the only team to have demanded to be awarded the title after the storms salary cap blow out.

No one, not even my Dragons, deserved a premiership more than Thurston's Cowboys after all the robbery you guys had been subjected to in the previous 3 seasons. The fact that Thurston, possibly the greatest player of all time, got to score the game winning field goal in golden point time was just the icing on the cake.

Disclaimer, I am not a Canberra or Roosters fan but I was at the 2019 grand final. For those still arguing whether the 6 again decision and reversal was correct or not, it actually doesn't matter as the referee is not allowed in this situation to change his decision. Refer to the following from the NRL rule book: Section 16. Duties of Referee and Touch Judges Changing decision 9. The Referee judges on matters of fact and shall not subsequently alter those judgments. He may cancel any decision made if prior foul play of which he had no knowledge is reported to him by a Touch Judge.

[@Ryan-ys3yd]

John Beaver except that rule doesn’t apply to mid play decisions. As long as a tackle hadn’t occurred from the time he called six again and then changed it back to 5th tackle which it didn’t. Then the ref is within their right to correct their decision. Once a tackle is complete or a penalty given or something else happens that calls that play dead then that rule comes into effect

There’s no guarantee that the raiders score in that set, how do they deserve anything at 8-8. Lol

[@leahstevens6351]

Very true they would of at least kicked a field goal

[@leahstevens6351]

@Tim I don’t agree with 4 tries in six minutes but they would of kicked the field goal and won

[@HBMisGoated]

makes that 2015 GF win so much sweeter for the cowboys. robbed so many times holy shit.

[@Langwene69]

They robbed brisbane in the last minute aswell lol

[@cardigan3000]

in the old days of League any drop was a knock on regardless of if it went a metre forward or ten metres back

[@patrickkeoug6070]

I love how they invented the seven tackle set to cover up a blatant refereeing error that cost the Cows a GF opportunity

[@russellblake9850]

#10 (Easts vs North QLD) ... looked to me as though one of the Easts players (ahead of Mighty Mouse) touched the ball (but made sure #1 recovered the ball) ... offside, penalty Cowboys. c'mon, the chooks ...

🐮🧒4lyf! Watched every game mentioned. Screamed my heart out!

[@eight35x20]

Oh man, that 2012 Origin howler stings in my memory. Paul Gallen saying: “This is ridiculous, where this is getting!”, after six years of close games, desperation and repeated heartbreak - and yes, absolutely terrible refereeing decisions (on both sides) - everyone in Australia, regardless of where they’re from could agree with Gal there. It was ridiculous where it was getting, and it was only going to get worse.

[@BigMan382]

You could quite easily make a top 20 video, just on Origin howlers that were detrimental to NSW.

[@charliemcdonald4278]

I’m a Raiders fan through and through but if they went on with the 6 again and they got a try there would still be controversy

[@thatboy6532]

Albeit controversy, getting back to back premierships off the back of it isn’t really a good thing.

[@draco12rolls]

Cowboys got done on the manly and sharks calls (and i'm a sharks fan - love that seven tackle set!) but it went forward off lui in 2014. Also imagine anyone but Thurston getting away with calling the entire NRL rigged against QLD, in the middle of the QLD state of origin dynasty. He should've been massively fined for that no matter how many times the cowboys got hard calls.

[@braithmccann1299]

The dragons weren’t robbed, it was a fair call, it’s definitely a penalty try, and the 2019 the pass was miles back, so I would say those two were robbed, but great video, love your content

[@avengedsoul6661]

The Roosters did not deserve to win the 2019 Grand Final.

[@lucytaylor6796]

I wouldn't say they didn't deserve to win. Roosters 100% deserved to win just as much as the raiders. The 6 again call was actually correct, it was just poorly executed and should have been done differently. the trainer call was also bad, but there were other calls in favour of the raiders and they didn't take advantage of the opportunities they had throughout the game

[@liamward9691]

The ref made a mistake and changed it to the right call stop crying the roosters were still stuck inside their end not like the try was handed to and if the ref stuck with the wrong call and they didn’t score I bet you’d be crying about that the better team won get over it

That 99' storm v dragons call was right and I'm glad it was given.

[@sahangunatilaka]

Storm vs Eels Qualifying Final, 2006. The Eels were denied a try that would have been sent into golden point and the eels had the chance to win it

[@sliat1981]

When? They didn’t lose by just a converted try

[@sahangunatilaka]

@@sliat1981 It was in 2006. The eels did lose by 6 points.

You could tell Tedesco knew the raiders were robbed by his celebration, he had just won his team a gf and he didn’t even really celebrate. He knew the opposition had been robbed.

[@dukewellington3174]

that's idiotic

[@Sfaknak]

You mean he was respectful of the opposition and situation and continued on with his professional approach.

[@liamkiley8662]

i never thought 2019 origin was controversial until watching this video

[@12from121]

The 1999 Dragons one is a textbook penalty try. I was there btw happened right in front of me. But no controversy it was clear.

[@acidcrap150]

Greg Inglis’s origin try in 2012 may of been a knock on but it makes up for the obvious Brett Hodgson and Eric Grothe knock on try in 2006

[@brucemanKBW]

It's all swings n roundabouts hey mate

[@acidcrap150]

Bryce M yeh ayee

[@Markboyy1984]

And Fletcher in 2000 at Stadium Australia 😂😂😂😂😂

[@sparhawk29]

dunno what you're bitching about, considering inglis should have been playing nsw, and not queensland. he was born nsw, started playing nsw, represented in nsw, but somehow qualified for queensland... bit like robbie o'davis way back, where he represented both states, nsw first, then when queensland bawled like bitches, went to the maroons. there's always controversy in state of origin, but you couldn't get a clearer knock on than in the case of greg inglis' try. great player, deserved the records, but that was a bullshit call no matter what. nothing justifies all that.

that changed the whole series, 2012 was NSW year tbh

[@Markboyy1984]

Deadset knock on, can't believe it was awarded a try worst decision I have ever seen!

[@sliat1981]

Storm vs Sharks. Christian Welch pushes on a players back once he’s grounded and gives away a penalty right in front of goals. Could have gone either way, but they scored a try on the next set and won the game. Not a controversial or wrong call, but could have gone either way. Definitely decided the match

[@hellas04gavros]

It continues till today in 2020 (even after lockdown) - somebody is going to get fed up ..... and a team will walk from the field (in the middle of the game) and won't come back.
