Umpire farce - Getting worse by the minute!

Or a poor coach. Teams with good coaches like Ken Hinkley seem to get a good ride from the umps.
Probably because Hardwick does care for his players enough. You have to show you really love them like Buckley.
and the RFC got in the head of Fagan and his team ... good ...From what I see, Grimes got into the head of Cameron.Good.
Hey - Can anyone explain Rioli one - where he evades a tackler, bounces the ball then hand passes if off just as a brisbane player gets and ineffective finger nail on his jumper- was he pinged for HTB, incorrect disposal or a throw or something?
You’re looking for an answer?
May I ask you by way of precedence, how does one best pick up a *smile*?
And. The answer is leave it for the umpires!
As he bounced the ball Zorko did have his hand on him - didn't impede his progress one iota but to the letter of the law he did bounce it whilst being tackled so a free against - technically correct but as per usual no feel for the game from the umpires just like Jack's studs up fiasco last week. Should have been play on imo but there were plenty of worse decisions (like blocking Lynch) etc. etc. Yet Brisbane have the cheek to complain at treatment Cameron got from Grimes!!!!

I guess it depends on what constitutes a tackle. If that is considered a tackle then I’d expect tackle stats to be higher than they are.
I was watching that closely at the game. Rioli bounced the ball and while the ball was coming back to him Zorko grabbed him at the maggot called HTB. Insane
It shat me, but I think it was the right call.
We need to bring a much better tackling game into the final.
That's holding the ball every time then. It doesn't have to come back to you first, the act of bouncing it (which is throwing it to the ground) gives up your right to dispose of it if you are then tackled. If you handballed it for it to come back to you that's a different story.
It’s the KB rule. Bartlett used to throw it out in front of him when he heard footsteps behind him. Would get a holding the man free paid to him all day. They changed the rule eons ago to counteract this. Has been a holding the ball (dropping the ball) free ever since. And rightly so.
I think the ball had returned to Daniel AND THEN was grabbed by the jumper but in the speed of things and it’s appearance the umpire paid the free.
Relax people Rioli was holding the ball.
I’m not to sure if he and Bolton were instructed to take the game on, but both were caught holding the ball.
Pity some of the Brisbane players were allowed to flick pass the sherrin, the Broncos would’ve been proud,

I get that the act of bouncing is considered "in possession" ... and the rule is you need to "Correctly Dispose" of the ball if you are 'correctly tacked' whilst in possession... but it didn't seem like Rioli was tackled in any meaningful way when the whistle was blown. It looked like he was maybe about to get tackled but when the whistle was blown the Brisbane player had barely touched him and Rioli looked to in control ... so maybe it was just a case of premature adjudication.
If the rule is - “if you bounce it then it’s HTB the moment an opposition player touches you” then it was the correct decision.
If the rule is you still need to be tackled - then it seems the definition of ‘tackled’ needs a bit of work
