'11 | R7 | Easter Sun | Raiders 12-22 Knights | Canberra

[StormisBrewing]

On the "touched" call, the ref called it immediately, and the Knights players stopped. I doubt McCrone would have scored, but the Raiders would have had a very good chance on the next play.

Same thing happened with Thurston's try last week, which didn't make a difference to a try being given.

 

[Noa]

oh yeah forgot to say this earlier but what is it with this turkey and his frequent want to put Fensom on the bench.

he offers nothing there.

 

[Noname36]

McDonnell -> Dugan.

 

[Timmah]

Referees ordinary both halves - pretty partial to Canberra in the first 40 before backing Newcastle home in the second half.

I backed Newcastle myself today - they've won every 5 years at Canberra - 2001, 2006, now 2011. They were due today.

 

[Timmah]

Now we all await the usual lolSkeepe reaction of "oh good to see everyone here waiting for my reaction instead of commenting on the footy" or some such garbage before he launches into a typical, trolly, hypocritical rant about referees and how Canberra would be leading the comp if not for the "geese in pink"...

Did you seriously tip based on that?

 

[cleary89]

yeh mate. I also tipped them because when I walked out of the house I saw a blue car before I saw a green one. It was a sign.

 

[Glenn]

Did you seriously tip based on that?

If it works, don't question it...:lol:

 

[Timmah]

Absolutely. Not solely - Canberra's woeful form and Mullen's form at HB influenced but I thought - good stat, I'll back it :lol:

Geez where's the spoiler alert Timmah?

I was waiting to see what he had to say, and now you've went and blown it for me

Funny how the referee bias changed during the halves.
First half Canberra all the way, offside off a kick, 'forward pass' called back
Second half Newcastle, well everything really, if the referees are on our payroll then surely tounge is too after dropping that sitter that was the turning point of the game, not dodgy referee calls.
Teams like the Dragons and Storm will never have to worry about being on the wrong end of the referees, theyre just good enough to hold on and do their thing.

 

[Apey]

Fair dinkum Newcastle can't do any wrong...some of these decisions are f**kin bullshit

He is well within his rights, the ref clearly took the juicy odds on the knights

Total hatched job. Referees ought to dropped clean for that.

 

[Proud2BeCanberran]

Fk this

We're so shit, it is not even funny. Never thought we actually would, but we will get the wooden spoon. We are nothing without Campese- FACT.

And FWIW, the referees that game was abysmal. The worst performance I have seen in years. Didn't do anything right.

 

[bileduct]

If Tongue didn't drop the ball the Raiders would have won.

f**k off and retire already.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

The problem is very simple - two words

David Furner

f**k off

 

[Timmah]

That's four words tbh

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

dumbarse

 

[bileduct]

Oh we're back to blaming Furner again, are we?

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

back?

 

[bileduct]

Yes, back. It's either the referees or David Furner getting the blame from f**kwits like you and never the 17 on the field.
