It's time the NRL admitted that two referees is a dismal failure. I was at the game and there seemed to be two sets of rules; each ref had a different interpretation of what "10 metres" meant, and how long defenders could lie all over an attacking player (to slow down the play) before getting up.
The six tackle fiasco was a joke, and a farce, as it affected the play. If Canberra knew that it was the last tackle they would've kicked it; but they played on as the ref (which one?) had waved six more. Easts got the ball back and two tackles later score a try and it was all over, as there were only seven minutes left.
btw up in the stands we all thought that one ref had waved six more and the other ref didn't see it .. and Ricky Stewart deserves a medal for not blowing up in the post-match press conference
