"You need to get your f**king calls right"

[Meth]

Thurston last night to the ref 63rd minute.

"Be very careful"

"What do you mean be careful? You need to get your f**king calls right"

If that's not dissent, I don't know what is.

When was the last time somebody was sent to the bin for the way they talked to the ref? I remember Sandow a couple of seasons ago and I have vague recollections of somebody since.

 

[Wizardman]

I was going for the Cows last night but his behaviour was out of line

 

[no name]

In before 'It's not his go'

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Wouldn't have complained about a sin bin. Pretty disgusting even for his standards

 

[AWESOME PERSON]

Desperation is what it was

 

[no name]

It was a crucial point in a high pressure game, you can understand frustration, but the fact that the ref warned him to be very careful should have been enough to pull his head in.
You have to wonder what he said before for the referee to give him the warning.
No wonder the useless gimps with the whistle f**k up so often, they are scared shitless of the players (certain ones it seems).

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Plenty of 'f**k offs' from JT last night, aimed at the refs.

Wonder if Ben Cummins offered JT the same advice at full time???

 

[AlwaysGreen]

He gives his headgear to kids so he can yell and swear and carry on like a pork chop as much as he likes.

 

[AWESOME PERSON]

Cummins is a terrible ref at best. That forward pass he missed which led to a try was awful. He was right in line ffs

This

Copped a pasting from sharks fans when converting the last 3 tries & then hands 1 his kicking tee.

What a hero!

Perfectly positioned to call it....& did!

 

[JJ]

JT doesn't need to be careful, because JT is JT

 

[butchmcdick]

In the end it wasn't a 50/50 forward pass call that killed us but simple mistakes in the first half

We were never in the match, Cronulla were simply too good

As for JT I get he was frustrated with the way the match went but no excuses. I think a sin binning is appropriate in these circumstances

 

[Grapple]

Forward pass or not, Cowboys never had a chance according to Phil Gould, too tired after the first 8 minutes..


Players have definitely been getting away with dissent because they know they can. The refs have become more and more castrated and timid the last few years. Though the game has created that atmosphere to a large degree.

 

[ram raid]

Yeah but he's JT.

 

[Gm5]

it's a conspiracy

 

[drago brelli]

Imagine the atmosphere if Canberra make the GF.

 

[drago brelli]

it's a conspiracy

Get it right, it's a southern conspiracy.

 

[Shorty]

Yeah I think Thurston was taking his frustration at his own players out on the ref.
That being said if he leaves the f bombs out how different is it to 'Ref evenly' lol.

Btw Soccer players are so much worse with how they treat the officials.

 

[blaza88z]

This behaviour shouldn't be surprising anyone, before the Cowboys won their first title year after year he would come out after their loss in the finals and basically suggest there was a conspiracy against anyone north of the border winning the comp
