2025 R22 Sat - Gold Coast 26-30* Penrith @ Cbus Super

[T-Boon]

Phew! Need to send that trainer a case.

It turned the game

 

[Apey]

Did anyone actually think Titans were going to do that once Tago came back on? They scored 3 of their 5 tries against 12 men. They needed to be 6+ clear before I'd be thinking they'd win.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Was that the same trainer that got caught wetting the ball in the game vs the Cowboys earlier in the year?

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Can’t wait for the cries of “iT waS An AcCiDeNt” - blud just say that you will do anything including cheating to win. At least you can respect honesty?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Side note - Why are referees allowed to officiate matches in which the team they supported growing up is playing?

Actual professional competitions around the world don’t allow it, some even ban refs from officiating matches involving their rivals.

If they'd taken the two late, I reckon they're a very good chance.

Ofc you never know, short kick offs etc, but I don't think enough teams are thinking about that 2 point FG yet. 4 points puts it all on Penrith to score a try and you soak up time.

That was Elford.

Was it the same trainer that stopped Parra from scoring in 2021?

Probably, but even if it wasnt....this is the level of cheating that the NRL needs to deal with when it comes to coaches. The NRL needs to be a step ahead of them with changing rules to be ahead of the cheats.

 

[Generalzod]

Well it’s a disgrace that the trainer walked infront of Campbell while attempting to make the conversion….he knew exactly what he was doing. Amateur hour by the NRL

 

[Mr. Shaman]

That was Elford.

Nah but it was the same trainer that orchestrated the Bali bombings.

 

[moffla]

That trainer knew exactly what he was doing. Fully aware that Cleary was capable of slipping at 2pter so did what he could. Clear as day.

Would like to know if it’s something he was encouraged to do, or if he went rogue.

Interesting....
Who would you get to ref state of origin. Would need to be a Pom - but even though go for Qld.

Titans were getting absolutely torn to shreds on both edges when it was 13v13 though. I reckon Panthers score (well, they did) anyway. Not even trying to shit on the Titans but I wouldn't trust them to defend anything but an 8 point lead in that situation.

Maybe. It was a sideline kick. He can kick them but they're never a cert. Cheesed him off and he needs to learn to not let things get to him I guess. Like me. I'm made of wood. Never lose MY f**kING cool. Never.

Henry Perenara

Nah but it was the same trainer that orchestrated the Bali bombings.

And 9/11!

Henry Perenara

Dude… Henry Perenara played for my team and I’d be happy to never see him ref one of our games ever again

 

[Chins]

Awful calls all round in that one. Tits got away with at least 3 clear mid air tackles

 

[chrisD]

Cbus is a nice stadium. The 18k seemed fair but it mostly Penrith supporters.

Still a dog act. He might have missed it anyway (I was confident he would miss), but what the trainer did just meant that this is all we would talk about.
