BTW, nice to see Wests form a temporary JV with Easts for the 2007 finals just to boo Souths. :lol:

You blokes are f**king kidding me, Anasta had every right to say what he did, the ref was disgraceful.

I await Robert Finch's comments - useless turd this guy is, absolutely useless. Bet if next week was a normal round he would be reffing again.

i cant wait either

i would have blown up as well.. i cant believe ppl r saying that he should have just copped it.. he didnt do anything wrong, not much of a grapple in my opinion.

marshall, it doesn't matter what is done by the ref. On the field, there is a level of respect that must be maintained toward a match official (if you recall Jo-E getting 2 weeks for calling the touchie a merkin last year) - and off the field there's a certain level of cowardice that only Braith would resort to. He should be subject to the same as the coaches would be and a 10k fine wouldn't look out of place.

Noone's doubting Fa'alogo is a cat, but Braith is a disrespectful twat, and a coward.

It's disappointing the number of people who condone the abuse of a referee. No matter what how bad you think a call is you can't just abuse the sh*t out of a referee. It's not on.

Refs never change the penalty as they work on the theory that if the first offence hadn't happened the second wouldn't have occured.

Only mistake he made in all of it was in sin binning instead of sending him off. Second sin bin was justifies as Anasta throw the first proper punch and after his comments to the ref he was always going to be walking a fine line.

Funny this is it wasn't even a grapple :lol:

Braith's face when he got called over to get sent off was priceless. Anyone have a pic of that?

Also LOL @ Richo trotting out the old "he only king hit a bloke because he cut off his oxygen" excuse :lol: :lol: :lol:

Fa'alongo should get a ticker tape parade down George Street for that one. Anasta's comments were disgusting, and below the belt, especially toward the referee. I notice Anasta is good at abusing people in the media if he has had an altercation with him. He's a knob. Chooks fans, he is tarnishing your proud club.

And I'd be VERY surprised if the club doesn't cop a big repremand from the NRL for it.

1. Your English sucks.

2. It was definitely a grapple. He had his arm constricting Fa'alogo's neck. Cummins wouldn't have blown the penalty otherwise.

I would've sent Braith and Fa'alogo. Fa'alogo's actions were deplorable and Braith's grapple tackle followed by his dissent to the ref was worthy of following him.

Very happy the grub got sin binned ten later.

The Return of The Idiot Part 2. Unfortunately, this second idiot never went away. He hangs around here like a pungent stench. So i'll have to rename you, dear Timmah, to The Neverending Idiot.

I agree with this guy, tell me, if you got punched in the head for no reason and penalised would you be p*ssed off as well?

Yes i would be pissed off, but he didnt get punched for no reason. Ansta starved him of Oxygen...I also dont understand what him abusing the ref will do?

What an articulate and well thought out response. Addressed every aspect of the topic at hand.

Enjoy having NOTHING.

Not my fault if you don't make sense.

Riddle me this, do you think it's ok to abuse referees?
