Green: Still Confusion Over Obstruction
NORTH Queensland's Paul Green says there is still uncertainty about rulings on obstruction.
Asked after his side's 32-16 win about as disallowed Parramatta try, Green said: :"Am I happy with the way they're ruling on obstructions? I think we're all a bit unsure of what they're going to come up with.
"Don't ask me about obstruction. I wouldn't have a clue."
Parramatta were upset Corey Norman was sent to the sin bin at a crucial stage.
"I didn't hear the ref's version of it but the question is: if it was a professional foul to stop him scoring, why wasn't it awarded a try/
"I'm sure they've got their reasons so we'll clarify that during the week."
Arthur: Sin Bin Robbed Everyone
PARRAMATTA coach Brad Arthur says the sin bin dismissal of Corey Norman robbed everyone of a good game.
The Eels were fuming that Norman got 10 in the bin for interfering with Michael Morgan as he chased a kick. Parr led at the time and ended up losing 32-16.
"It's disappointing, that with 14, 15 minutes to go, we couldn't seen two good teams fight it out see who could get on top at the end," said Arthur.
"I think everyone's been robbed of a good game of football.
"I just need to ask (referees' coach Tony Archer) what the ruling is and if it's going to happen continually.
"I thought he was trying to compete for the ball. I haven't had a real good look at it. I've only seen what replays were available and there weren't many of them tonight.
"But definitely a turning point in the game. I think we were up 16-14 at the time. I haven't seen many of them go to the bin this year."
Captain Kieran Foran added: ""It's a massive call at that stage of the game to send a key player off for 10 minutes."

65 min: Thurston goal
MIchael Morgan chases a kick but is interfered with by defender Corey Norman off the ball. It's no try but he's in the sin bin for a professional foul. Norman is incredulous. "The reason it's not a penalty try is because there's blokes around the ball who could have got to it," says referee Gerard Sutton. Johnathan Thurston takes this kick. It's there. 16-16
