Sounds like everyone in this thread has turn into Skeepe. Are the refs that bad?

 

[DC_fan]

How shit is the commentary?

You are not wrong

 

[cleary89]

Meh, haven't minded the refs or the commentary.

 

[Frustrated Fan]

That was as a shocking forward pass call, Skeepe is going to blow a gasket, but I dont blame him with that one.

This refereeing has absolutely no integrity. If this was refereed truely, Canberra would be up by at least 10.

 

[Moffo]

ffs

 

[shear_joy9]

time to bring on buttriss

he could really carve up in this game. Can actually pass as well unlike waddell

 

[northwest9]

I think I am sitting in front of skeepe, I'm not sure why this bloke comes to the games, he doesn't watch, just screams out that the refs are merkins, and that every single player for the storm is one too, whenever they make a tackle. The kids around us are getting a real show of raiders supporter finery

Not to mention attacking anyone wearing storm gear. Dead set bottom 5% o society stuff.

f**king hell Campese carries on like a sooky bitch. Everytime he hears a whistle he starts compluaing and whinging.

I'm at the game and Melbourne are keeping a pretty skinny 10 and it seems like they are being scummy in the ruck. I'm hilarious biased and its pretty wet.

Raiders by far the better side after the first 10 minutes. Anticipating a better Storm side in the second half after Bellamy puts a rocket up them.

No they're not that bad, but it's the Storm we're talking about. Doesn't help that a couple of try scoring decisions have gone against Canberra. That just feeds the fuel a little more I think.

On the game, if the Raiders hold their discipline they win this. Melbourne have a great spine, but the Warriors/Manly showed that if you can get over the top of their pack the impact of Cronk/Smith/Slater can be reduced. The Raiders have a big pack, they should be able to dominate the Storm forwards if they play with discipline.

They just showed the 'forward pass' again.
The touchie, who was in line with the pass followed the play to see if Ferguson got it down. He obviously had no problem with it. The refs didn't seem to consult him, which is surprising considering the amount of times refs call knock back then call a knock on due to the touchie's advice.

 

[Pokemon80]

I think Campese needs to lead by example out there instead of running up to the refs over every decision that goes against them.

The refs have got it right so far.

 

[Card Shark]

The refs have got it right so far.

Except the blatantly wrong forward pass call that cost Canberra 4 or 6 points & the lead.

 

[Noa]

Hoffman has done nothing this game to make me think he isn't an average footballer at best......and pass the ball Nielsen you genius.

 

[no name]

Lowrie's thuggery is really thriving under Bellamy.

 

[Geohood]

Great work Storm!!

 

[Noa]

Storm too good.
