Weekly "It's the Refs Fault" Thread

Since some merkins think it was the referees fault we lost, whilst neglecting we won the penalty count, scored on the back of a dodgy penalty, had possession and territory and still couldn't beat the team coming second last, here is a thread for all you f**kers to whinge.

We haven't had a loss this year without it being the ref's fault

If it gives us points and makes our pathetic missed tackles, then hang and quarter em'

Excuses are go androtropts.
And that's not a slight against the rainbow lot.

I maintain my right to use that word as to describe useless and dismal efforts.

Defend. 1 minute. Finals teams do that.

We didnt and aren't. And so we have this thread.

And another f**king notion

If they were offside to charge down our attempt at FG, and we know ref's hate to blow a penalty in GP, then why-o-why did we not jump the gun to block their FG

f**k the finals are gooorrrnne. Let's try and set the sights on winning one more game for the year.

That'll give the fans something to cheer and sing praises with glee about. Pfffffffffft.

With the team that was on the field tonight, we deserved the win.
That team did all they could.

The refs took the win. Simple.

You farkers that deny the refs have that big of an impact on the game are deluded.


How many of our penalties were on tackle 1?
How many of theirs were on tackle 4 or 5?
Penalty counts don't tell the full story.

Scored on the back of a dodgy penalty? OK.
Thy scored on the back of a bullshit touch judge call, and then a field goal from a bullshit no call from the refs. But that doesn't matter hey?

Yeah well.
I used to bowl leg spin.

So in my mind umpires are only there to ruin the game.

Lead by more than 4 and we don't have that issue.

The bigger issue was the bloke who picked the ball up being in front of the bloke who charged it down.

Where are penrith coming? How many points did we put on them in the first 15 minutes when were parked in their 20? Are the referees the reason we have lost to the teams coming last, second last, and 4th last.... and drew with the team coming 3rd last?

At what stage will you admit that as a team that wants to be in the finals that our performances are substandard and we do not deserve to win.

We got lucky calls, and so did they. However, it was US who missed tackles to allow penrith to score VERY SOFT tries.

Except we missed simple tackles that led to tries

No, Townsend was caught in two minds and Jennings strolled through the line to score

They gave us twice the penalties penrith got

Delusion is often blinkered by the events that cause the final result

At what stage do people actually start blaming the team and not the referees?

It seems a strange sentiment with Cronulla folk that if you dare criticise the team you are not a "true sharkies supporter and should go support someone else"...

We know the referees make dodgy decisions... So why do we let game even be in the hands of the referees? IT WAS f**kING PENRITH FOR FUARK SAKE YOU merkinS!

The team we had on the field did their best to win that game.
In my opinion, they had done all they could. That should have been enough until the refs came along and took over.

Put Carney in for Townsend, Gallen in for Green. Graham in for Frizell. Gibbs in for Tafua.
We win. By a lot.
There's a reason that people play reserve grade. Should be joined there next week by the pinkies.
