4 penalties to the Sharks in the 5 minutes since the call that went against them. Including disallowing a try that should have been and would have been if not for the obvious stuff up by the referee a moment earlier.

Panthers down 14-0 now thanks to a decision in our favour and then doing everything possible to make up for it.

It was a clear no try and every single on of those penalties were deserved.

He wasn't playing well early mate

Doesnt matter to me
Thurston hasnt played great club footy this year either... when it comes to the halves you pick the bloke who is most talented and capable. That's Todd Carney.
Unfathomable that he was dumped, he is NSW's best half by a considerable margin

This ref is seriously f*cking Penrith over now. Sharks go for a quick start, player infront and he just sends em back to do it again. Then gives them a penalty straight after it. Isn't it meant to be a Penrith penalty there???

Sharks then score... 5 nil penalty count since the one decision that went our way. Every call since against us.

Yep.

Sharkies score a good try.

They have never once ruled that a penalty. Every time they send it back to take the tap again. Not once since the quick tap was brought in have they ruled it a penalty

None of the Sharks were in front mate.
I think you'll find, if you watch it again, that the refs weren't in position.
Nevermind the forward pass from DH on the Pennies 5th play that was let go.

He has atleast called forward passes against the Panthers. If you want to go down that road, the Sharks first try was from Graham throwing a slightly forward pass to Gordon. Similarly forward pass thrown by Luke Walsh up the other end is ruled forward.

At the end of the day all games have probably 20+ forward passes missed and the few times they do rule on them they're usually not as bad as ones that were allowed to go and in some cases a line ball at worst.

The worst thing to happen to the Panthers was getting an obviously wrong call in their favor. Since then the referees haven't come close to doing anything that they could see as giving us an advantage. Only one team has been reffed since that incident.

Also this game looks to be ending the Panthers top 8 hopes in two ways. A loss here makes it the win rate for the remainder of the season a lot higher to make it, and a flogging here cancels out the one thing we had going in our favour. A huge for and against.

Warriors will take the Panthers place in the top 8. That will probably be the way it stays for the remainder of the season.
