The referees unfortunately will dictate a large number of the results foir the first week of the semis.

Their performance for most of the year and particuarly in the last round were nothing short of dosgraceful.

Archer in the Saints match did not even pretend to giver Parra a 50/50 chance..he was the classic home ground hero who killed Parra off in the first half..it was no contest after that. The looks on the Parra players faces said it all at most of the refereeing close calls going to Saints..they knew the crowd had a hold of Archer and co and that was it.

Archer and co permitted Saints to encroach on the ten at every opportunity..this killed the match as a contest straight away.
He penalised Parra out of the match in the first half and yet took no action aganist Saints for the same offences..Saints players could not believe their luck and took advantage of this generosity.

Saints played well, but were given a leg up at every stage by Archer and co. If Archer or Hayne are refereeing Kogarah again, it could be a massacre, I hope not because I want to see a genuine contest!

Yeah... And Parramatta's 50% completion rate, 50 missed tackles and 20 errors had nothing to do with the loss....must of been the ref!

I didn't see the whole game but in the Bronco/Raiders game one of the tries appeared to have 3 forward passes in a row. Anyone else think that?

The titans are now competing with soccer and soon to be AFL on the gold coast... and if the refs performances this year in their games are anything to go by, i would say they are going to have all the help they can get through the finals by the men in pink...

The dragons will only have the 'hometown hayne' effect for their game at OKI.. after that, they will choke...

You should have just titled the thread: "Parra were robbed... oh, and St George suck"

According to Jason Taylor, not as much as truth and a punch from David Fa'alogo.
Just another Mad Monday for the vermin.
