Well, well, well. What a surprise. The teams don't decide another game of rugby league and the officials do. Hampstead has no idea on the concept of the rules, Phil Cooley's eyes are painted on, as are Jeff Younis's. Suck it up Dragons fans, what goes around comes around and with a bit of luck it'll decide your season like it has ours

you're right. we got the rub of the green comfortably.

swings & roundabouts.


maybe it was our "comes around" - we've copped plenty of "goes around."

24 - 0 wasnt the doing of the ref. A few lucky calls but to say you deserved to win is pretty laughable.

I guess that's why I have my serious face on. He didn't say we deserved to win. What is it with people and reading what they want to read?

He's a Dragons fan. Leave him alone.

Willow mate, I am not sure if you're too bright, or if you're just trolling (bit of an odd thing to do as an admin) .

The truth is, you're completely out of line. For your benefit, I will put the laughs aside and respond as an Admin.

Quite frankly, I defend the rights of members such as yourself to hold an opinion on this forum every day.

Perhaps you could be a little less precious and offer the same in return.

One of the reasons why this forum does so well is because we are all members first and moderators second. It is even written into the members guidelines. Perhaps you should them give a read and try and enjoy the rest of the evening.

Now with your permission, may we all go back to enjoying the thread?

 

[Jobdog]

So Willow, you weren't trying to derail the thread with replies such as "It was all the ref's fault?" Come on, we didn't come down in the last shower.

 

[Willow]

Buderus and the some horrible decisions against us certainly didn't help.

I didn't know one Buderus was equal to a Creagh/Cooper/Gasnier.

 

[Dragon]

As a QLD'er said to me the other night despite my obscenities and protests...

"LOOK AT THE SCOREBOARD"

I must admit Willow that you DO have a lot more to say in this thread than u usually do............nearly every second post is from you ...


Now arent you going to lock it ???????

 

[Jobdog]

In terms of value to a side, yes - he is.

 

[Dragon]

Make me a mod, i can wield a BanHammer like a f*cking Nordic Viking. Ban the lot of these whingers

Far out I got sick of hearing how every call went against Newcastle.

In all seriousness, what went against them?
The one pass from Macdougall that went to his winger was most probably fair enough, and that was a tough call.
Please tell me what else went against them?
So because the Fox commentators were as biased as anyone I've ever heard, all of a sudden Newcastle were hard done by.

What about Taia passing from the ground despite being held by 2 players, Newcastle's first try comes in that set. Should have been a Dragons penalty.
Beau Scott called for a knock on from a charge down. Knights scrum feed given, no complaints here from newcastle, no comments made by the Fox team.
The last try had 2 blatant forward passes.
The forward pass in the middle of the field, that got called back for Newcastle, should have been a penalty to saints, it was as blatant a forward pass as you can get.

Tough luck to newcastle, good luck against the Panthers next week, your season is on the line next week.

Sadly, our season is now over.

Admin or not Will, you have been acting quite the toss pot on this thread tonight.

 

[thommo4pm]

Sadly, our season is now over.

Not yet, you are still only 2 points out of the 8 tonight, possibly 3-4 tomorrow, depending on who wins out of Parra/Penrith.
All the teams on the fringe of the 8 play each other over the coming weeks, all it takes is a few wins strung together.
I still think your side is a better team then where they are sitting on the table.

 

[Matt23]

He's right, our season is indeed stuffed.

Might be the case, but it just seems to me that everything is conspiring against us this year

Origin, the draw, now injuries to key players.

:lol::lol:


I love how after every loss Newcastle fans always deflect responsibility from their inept side to the standard of the refereeing. Face it, Newcastle are rapidly heading towards the foot of the table where they belong.

What's going to happen when Newcastle play the Raiders? The excuses and accusations of bias will commence a week before kickoff.

You're all victims.
