I do agree with you that Diskin was very harshly judged for at least two penalties. The first one I remember was one of the very first penalties given against us where he completed a tackle. Stevo described him as "turtling" the HKR player but Diskin simply drove into him with one motion. I personally feel that penalty was mainly the result of crowd pressure as they were screaming louder and louder for infringements.



The second penalty was far worse. Diskin had half completed the tackle and the HKR player was on his knees. The ref hadn't called the tackle complete, the HKR player had both arms free and looked likely to offload. Diskin completed the tackle and Beetham gave a penalty against him for it, basically saying he was interfering after the tackle was complete.

Bentham was poor

The Webster no try was a clear knock on IMO, the ball clearly deviated. Plus I think the penalty given against Diskin the lead up to their try was very harsh.

Wouldn't say it was clear - I've watched it back a few times now and I'm still not convinced.

Good job you being convinced matters not a jot. Ian Smith clearly thought so and he was the only one who counts.

It was a clear knock on at a certain slow-mo speed but not so clear the slower it went.



Had the video ref not being there I'd expect the try would have been given and in that sense KR were unlucky.



Morgan however is a big, big advocate of having video officials at every game so it doesn't leave him much room for manoeuvre in the feeling hard done by department.
