so this is the outcry when brisbane loses a penalty count.

wait....did they?

Nope. One of the stats we won (4 - 3)

I am fairly sure we have conceded more than we have received this year though, so it wouldn't be earth shattering.

 

[some11]

Its more about whether they were correct or not.

Given its spray on sweat Robinson as one of the referees some11, the answer will nearly always be that pretty much all his decisions are horror shows. I don't know how this bloke gets a gig in first grade.

None the less, seriously enjoyed that game. Johnsons first 60 minutes were quite exceptional too I thought, kicking game was the best I've seen from him and the wrap around and turbo booster run to put Henry in was a very big touch of class. Enjoyed the game from a forwards perspective, some absolute brutality and tough stuff up front from both mobs.

Any word on Wallace, serious injury or not???

you sure hope so :lol:

precautionary I am sure, hook's good with injuries, any risk of a player being injured and they don't play

 

[Beachy Eagle]

More about origin, if injured it clears uo the 7 argument for game 1.
But yes also interested in next friday....lol

 

[Snappy]

That was a quality game. Warriors dominated the yardage battle.

I said b4 the game that Broncos were due for a loss whilst Warriors were due a strong performance. That game was a very good lesson for Corey Norman, and he will learn from it. Whilst the result was disappointing from my point of view, it was a tough game we needed. Apart from injury concerns we'll be better for it, and we're still in second place so nothing to be too worried about really.

Congrats to NZ that played very strong game with minimal errors compared to previous weeks.

 

[Snappy]

double

I don't want to take anything away from the Warriors fantastic game, especially their first half, but it's desperatly frustrating to see J. Robinson ref a game, and the Warriors got the rub of the green. But I guess it comes with the territory and having Beale offer the Warriors gifts like that, doesn't help either.
Losing Wallace made the biggest difference imo. With him we might have mounted the come back once the Warriors started tiring and dropping the pill. We just had no direction and it showed on several 5th play the ball options.

All in all, loosing by 5 tries to 4 against a red hot Warriors team at Mt Smart under the above circumstances doesn't worry me. Yesterday, any team would have lost to these Warriors.

Kuddos to Nathan Friend, playing with a broken jaw for 75 mins! :crazy:

 

[tomdl]

Refereeing was f**king terrible. Warriors had several poor decisions go their way which directly effected the result. Robinson f**king sucks.

Would give kudos to Friend for playing with a broken jaw but he is an absolute little dirt bag. Not going to turn a blind eye to the amount of little elbows and facials I noticed him dishing out over the course of the game.

The Broncos first three tries were all off the back of dud calls by Robonson against the Warriors. Be a man and suck up a loss.

 

[mongoose]

Do all broncos fans turn into skeepe whenever they lose? Some dud calls went both ways.

 

[Rebel]

Are people really serious about the "warriors getting the rub of the green"? We got raped from the refs at critical times. The final scored should have been more than 10 IMO.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

I think some of you guys need to review what a "dud" call is. I'm sure after 10 replays you can call something a dud call, but the refs only get one chance to look at it in real motion and make a decision.

There weren't any real howlers in that game, most of the calls were correct but some of them were just unlucky/ones that could have gone the other way but didn't etc

 

[Spot On]

Warriors belted them up the guts and won. Same formula that should have seen them beat Melb except for Inu's mistakes. Warriors halves carved them up once they got to the other end. They looked like World beaters again. Don't bring Inu back.

 

[Iafeta]

Now that I think about it, and we've established the first two Broncos tries were off the back of extremely dubious calls, wasn't Teo's try off the back of Lewis Brown being penalised at marker, despite being square, and despite the hooker taking a skip out of dummy half?? Lets get some clarity here, there is no way known to man that the Warriors got a leg up from the men in pink.

The Warriors rolled the Broncos through the middle, and Johnson took advantage of it.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

lol amazing to read through this thread and it's all Broncos fans claiming some sort of refereeing conspiracy despite being whistled over the line for at least 2 of their tries.....perspective is a funny thing

 

[Bretto]

Can't blame refs for that one, and I don't think anyone is - they're just pointing out the mistakes that were made.

Brisbane didn't hold onto the ball, and the Warriors put on some tries on the back of that. Simple really.

Warriors were the better team and deserved the win.

 

[Red Bear]

That's better from the Warriors, good to see Brisbane get knocked off

 

[Rebel]

I thought Souffs fans were deluded. Some Broncos fans are giving them a run for their money in this thread.
