I'm not so sure it was a "shocking decision", as much as the commentators tried to convince everyone otherwise - I thought Billy was clearly going for the ball to knock it back (as he has done countless times this season) and only turned it into a tackle/wrapping motion once this had been achieved. I thought it was a fair contest for the ball, but I was very surprised the video ref agreed with me.Turtle188 wrote:We definitely got the better of a shocking decision with Hoffy's try. Easily a penalty against Billy for the challenge on the Bronco defender.
On another note, clearly the refs were not looking for forward passes tonight!

If Jesse isn't our player of the year I don't have any idea how they vote or what the award stands for!
Hoffy became our equal 9th highest try scorer and equal 10th highest point scorer tonight.
Congrats to Cam on becomming the highest scoring forward and 10th highest scorer of all time.
Congrats to Will and Jesse on their 100th game.
Billy moved to outright 2nd on our all time games played list.
Cam has now won 250 games across all competitions (NRL, test, origin, WCC and All Stars).
What a night.

Good win and just the performance I was looking for. Cronk had the ball on a string. Wow!
Everyone played well and Koroibete was awesome. Even in defense he tackled and got up to back up in second phase play.
Jesse is the best front rower in our history, period!
Congrats Cam and hope this is a sign of things to come.

Good win however we are looking a little impotent close to the line if you ask me. We don't ever really look specials to score....improved a little in the second half with some good variation just on the whole we need to be more lethal from 15 meters out and not be so reliant on kicking.....and what was it with wanting to kick the bloody ball all the time.....nearly threw a stubby through the screen at one point.
