'14 // R7 // Easter Sun // Raiders 24-22 Storm // GIO

I think the issue is that fans don't really understand the calls being made (not just the blunders from the video ref but penalties in general). It leads to frustration and it's going to cause people to stop watching.

No off season for our guys has f**ked us hard. Deadset average (the actual meaning of the word, not the rugby league bastardization).

Why was there no off season for the Storm?
Genuine question.

 

[whall15]

I'm sick of this shit

Oh noes. :lol::lol::lol:

 

[vvvrulz]

Oh you mean losing players to the World Cup.

 

[lockyno1]

I'm no Storm fan, but I'd be filthy about that no-try earlier

Serves them right for last week!

 

[edabomb]

Storm got away with murder in the ruck all day so I don't feel bad for them at all.

Plus they are the cheating Storm.

How good was croker? Cracker game

Thats been happening in union for 100 years

I didn't see all of it, but Cam Smith pulled out a few of his usual tricks with blatant obstructions and not marking up.

Hard to feel sorry for this lot, but it was still disgraceful refereeing.

can't blame all those people watching the live stream in Australia when Ch9 treats its viewers with contempt

World cup delayed it for our guns, and Slater and Cronk i'm pretty sure had surgery. Cronk played his first game in round 2 this year.

Doesn't excuse the shiteness of everyone else though.

f**k them. Only game on today, on a holiday weekend, when families will probably be wiling to watch it? Nah, let's delay it.

 

[nick87]

Also - the storm are absolute merkins in the ruck. The touchie had the best view in the house and he said no try

happy to go with him on that.

Suck it hard, storm

 

[Pugzley]

Calm your tits, storm fans. If Cameron Smith was better with the boot today, it would have been level.

 

[afinalsin666]

We definitely got beaten by the better side today. We were abhorrent. Just annoying we lost to both the better side and the decision.

 

[Matagascar]

Anyone got a replay of that last try? I'm surprised they didn't look at the grounding.

 

[Timmah]

The dud call was nowhere near as bad as the ones we've seen in the last couple of weeks. It's more like the Robbie Farah tries back in Round 1 during SGI v WST, where the on-field call has meant it's really hard to overturn the decision.

If it went up green, it probably would've come back that way.

Second time Raiders have won a game this season largely based on inconclusive evidence to overrule. We scored a very dodgy try against Souths that was sent up as a try and had a scramble for the ball that common sense says would have included a knock on.

The rule really is stupid. If you can say with 95% certainty a try occurred then that should be enough.

Tonumaipea, haven't had to call his name in a while.

How about you watch a few of the games that feed you each week you f**king merkin.
