As per NRL rulebook:This is not a charge down. It's turning your back when going to make a tackle so you don't get sconed

Not at all…. fight the good fight brotherToo slick maybe forward. Didn't get a close look at it. Am I clutching at straws?
It's like the Warriors are the worst team in all of professonal sports, Ice Hockey, Rugby, NFL. MLB. Premier League at defending a lead with 5 minutes to go. How many times have we seen this team be run down by a miracle last minute comeback and the raiders albeit for a missed conversion nearly did it to us last year.
I think the players are traumitised from it happening so often and instead of sitting on the lead and playing conservatively keep taking risks like Roger going for a fast play of the ball because we want one more try to put the game away beyond all shadow of a doubt instead of having faith we can defend an 8 point win.
We need to have the coaching staff address how to nurse a lead into a win in the last 5 minutes of the game.. And this is not the first bad play of the ball penalty I have seen when it really mattered. Bayley Sironen two years ago did one when we were trying to stop a comeback and James Gavet did one when the other team completed a 20 point comeback from seemed like a certain victory. It got the point where we just needed to complete one set to and good kick chase and we win the game and in both cases Sironen and Gavet did bad plays of the ball. They are etched on my mind permanently.
Yeah it is literally called a charge down because you raise your hands above your head to bat 'down' the ball.This is not a charge down. It's turning your back when going to make a tackle so you don't get sconed

This. Just because Barney flinches and turns to absorb the impact doesn't make it not a charge down.As per NRL rulebook:
CHARGING-DOWN is blocking the path of the ball with hands, arm or body as it rises
from an opponent’s kick.
Sorry but this is a stupid statement.No other team in the NRL would have let the Storm come back to win that had they been up by 8 with 5 minutes left. Even the Tigers would have protected that lead.
Then we won't learn from our losses and history will repeat. I am putting you ignore as didn't enjoy the tone of your rebuttal.Sorry but this is a stupid statement.
Sometimes one has to give credit to the opposition and not pan your own team
Geez, you can’t be reading much on here then!!Then we won't learn from our losses and history will repeat. I am putting you ignore as didn't enjoy the tone of your rebuttal.
Exactly. Two very well constructed tries.Sorry but this is a stupid statement.

It was made worse when he jumped, if it's a JMK falcon the ref might have a rush of blood and say it's not played at
