I am going to make an assumption. The handball in the penalty area should have been a penalty in the grand final on the weekend.
OK, assuming the assumption is correct, why do you think the referee missed it?
What could they have done, or what could they try, so next time they do not miss it?
I think we heard part of the answer at our last general meeting.

I missed the last GM. I only saw the incident once on replay a couple of days ago. Then i thought it was an obvious error due to lack of focus.

1) He had no angle. The player was side on to him. 2) Not close enough to play. He could easily have been closer. 3) Based on the way the AR's responded to every out I doubt his pre-game instructions were for them to "assist him" as per the usual method for LOTG.
He also missed another tackle that was a penalty on Labinot Haliti due to being 45metres away from it (jogging, not even trying to make an effort to get near the incident). He was very inconsistent in my opinion largely due to poor positioning.

The word at the GM was FOCUS...you didn't need to be there 1.
Did the referee not focus for just that split second? Who would think a player would make such an obvious error with their hand?
I thought he was not focussed, but, then the replay shows he waved it away.
I agree, more angle - move left left left. This may have helped get the angle I saw it from...on the TV
Close - he was close enough I thought for that play....not much more than 15 metres away, 17 metres I hear is the perfect distance to make the right call.
I could not see that call going to the AR's, no way. It was the referees call in that position.
It seems to me the angle caught the referee out. I expect the referee will say, it appeared to come off the chest.
I think the referee being ready for anything with the focus would have helped. Next time, make sure they run further up field to the left and get wider to get the angle between them and the AR.
I don't think I will talk about the other penalty that was/was not given in this question.
