The sad thing is they favour some teams more than others. I'm not saying they do it deliberately but they just do it.

They seem to subconsciously think some teams don't break the rules or make mistakes.


Its not subconscious. Up until this year they have been trained to think that way by Harrigan and his stupid "homework"

We're losing the penalty count you know. Just like when the Sharks had almost 4 times as many penalties as us.

Atrocious second half from the Warriors. The amount of games they've thrown away in the second half this year is astounding.

While it doesn't have a bearing on the final result I absolutely hate field goals in the first half. The amount of time the team kicking them loses would be far higher.

Yeah they always look like a lazy option. That said I think is was excusable this tone as there were only about 30s on the clock.

Souffs in again, I think the jet lag's got us good this game, they've looked really off in the second half.

17 point win. Our biggest win ever against the Warriors. Says a lot about where we've been for the majority of time since 1995.

See, people don't hate on Souffs because of BunniesMan. They do it because their players are the biggest collection of wankers to be in one place since the annual general meeting of the Newcastle chapter of Masturbaters Anonymous.

Yes, all those lopsided penalty counts Souths benefited from in the 2002-2009 seasons are still fresh in my mind.

Or maybe, we've just gotten better? Who knows.

PS we lost the count tonight but apparently had the refs in our pocket :lol:

Johnson looked like a world beater in the first half. His wheels fell off in the second half. Stopped taking on the line and just started drifting across instead. When the pressure went on him, he overplayed his hand.

Would rather they just put up a bomb and go for a try. It's rare teams win it off a field goal in the first half. If that field goal had of been the difference it wouldn't of been any smarter, it just would've been as arsey as half of Souths tries.

Lol any non bias supporter can see that the refs are giving you these wins

Yeah, none of our 5 tries tonight were legit. All handed to us by the refs.


You guys should've beaten us in round 1 too. But don't worry we can blame the refs for that one as well.

The Rorters fans must be really worried. When the Warriors applied some pressure to them they capitulated whereas we eked out a good win.
