Lol, both of those 2 last penalties are pretty much consistent with what you'll see week to week.

It's gay that such a great game was decided by a shitty rule, but the refs aren't to blame.

I feel like both of these teams are DUMB teams. Probably the two dumbest teams going around right now, saved by a bit of natural talent.

Harsh call on the strip. Still, seems every team gets reamed by the refs sooner or later. Broncos have been pretty lucky in that respect so can't really complain.

That interview with Corey Parker summed it up perfectly. Its a shame he cant say what he and everyone is thinking that was a bulls*** penalty that and the refs f***ed up again.

The donkeys have something in their favour: a decent set of forwards. If Barba can rediscover his form at some point, they should make the 8. Can't say the same about my team. Our forwards are cream puffs.

It's certainly more of a strip than most stripping calls. He had his arm there and pulled the ball out. Intentional or not, that's not something the refs can consider in that split second.
It looked like a strip to me live, after a few replays maybe not. But the refs don't get a few replays right there on the spot.

I think it was a strip but non intentional and part of the tackle so dropped ball IMO. Can't really expect the refs to pick something like that up.

Not even that. He didn't play at the ball. Burgess dropped it cold. Plus goodwin? ran ten metres. Whoever tackled him had to be onside.

Dropped it cold? His arm pulled it out. Play at the ball or not that's not something the refs can decide on. They can't see into his brain.

Both teams suck the fat one.

At least one got to lose in miserable fashion.

On top of thrashing the Dragqueens it's been a good ANZAC day!!

Not even close bro. Warriors have got this. If there is a way to c**k up a lead, we will manage it. Today was a rare exception haha.

Great game, i feel as if the first 20 minutes cost the broncos it in the end but. If they didn't show up half asleep i reckon they probably would have gotten there. Nonetheless, some good signs from them, definitely much improved.

The broncos shouldn't be complaining. They had a zero tackle inside Souths half with a couple minutes to go....

.... then proceeded to put on 5 of the most limp-wristed hit ups ever seen on a footy field to only gain about 18m in 6 tackles, finished off with a shithouse attempt at field goal that was rightfully charged down (although would be interesting to check if Burgess was onside).

Broncos simply do not have a clutch player amongst em and it cost them the 2 points.

Also, Barba is vying for worst player in the game along with Carney atm. Bloody woeful
