2016 R22 - Storm 15-14* Rabbitohs @ AAMI Park

[The Mad Hatter]

Bloody good game of footy though.

I don't know if we manned up, storm were down, or combo...but I'm stoked the bunnies found something after last week.

 

[Timmah]

It says Storm by 6.

That'd be like a win to me.

What's Storm by 1 then? A premiership?

 

[Ron's_Mate]

Memo Greg Inglis - That's when you kick a field goal.

 

[Rabbits20]

Turning point of the match was that ridiculous penalty given 2 minutes before the end of the match for what appeared to be an obstruction penalty which early on Cam Smith did exactly the same but just suddenly layed on the ground as if that makes any difference no penalty was given.

I'm used to it now.

We've been getting tough calls all year.

Just no luck.

I'd like the Sharks to do it for you. Hopefully you haven't peaked too early.

 

[Rabbits20]

That is the difference. Smith gained no advantage. Cody Walker kept running. Penalty any day of the week

Well it doesn't get blown every week does it. So inconsistent these refs.

I'm proud especially with 50/50 calls against us.

 

[The_Shield]

Rabbitohs can't complain about the 50/50 calls. They had plenty go their way as well. The only reason they had the lead late in the game was because a bad call on the Munster strip ball that ended up leading to the penalty goal. Let's not forget the ridiculous knock on call against Will Chambers on our own line. I actually think the bunnies got the better of most calls

LOL.
You wouldn't won if your interchange hooker (thanks for taking him off our hands btw) hadn't dumped a Storm player on their head with a minute to go...

 

[ed-grimley]

Golden point is unnecessary and stupid - get rid of it.

Storm were holding SOUTHS down and should have been penalised more. Storm gets lots of calls their way from the refs all the time. That's a known fact.

GI was taken out twice in the kick chase.

Turner was obstructed at marker when Storm kicked winning field goal. If SOUTHS did that we'd have been pulled up for sure.

I've also seen what Cody Walker did go unpenalised many times this year.

Chambers did knock that ball on imo.

When Reynolds missed the drop goal in golden point I'd like a look at if the ball went dead. It may not have actually went dead.

He actually had a good game.

He is a lot better than McInnes.

 

[Timmah]

Huh?

Didn't say anything about what sort of game he had, I was referring directly to the incident in the 79th minute when he dumped a Storm player on their head.

He doesn't do that and South Sydney are a much better chance of holding on to win. IMO anyway.

Storm get lots of calls go their way is not a known fact. Its an excuse people use when their team loses.

You mean GI got a little bump and tried to milk a penalty.

Turner like the rest of the Souths team went the wrong way.

Chambers hands never left the ball. He always had control of it and it never went forward. He trapped it on the ground.

And lastly I agree with the Reynolds miss. Munster was closest to it and he didn't seem to think it went dead. Worth a closer look

I'll let you know in the game day threads in future then when Melbourne get calls.

It happened twice to GI and they should have both been penalties. If SOUTHS did that we'd have been penalised.

Turner was impeded imo. If Souths did that we'd have been penalised.

I believe Chambers knocked on.

 

[The_Shield]

I'm not saying Melbourne don't get calls. I'm just saying they get no more then any other team

I disagree as do many people I know.

 

[The_Shield]

I disagree as do many people I know.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion. And here is mine, I think it is hilarious that a souffs supporter is complaining about teams getting calls go their way. It's a classic case of the pot meet kettle

 

[moffla]

Shield is right, people use the refereeing excuse far too often, but in the end if your stupid hooker doesn't trying to dump Munster on his neck, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Poor calls wee made to either side on Saturday, don't turn a blind eye to the ones the went your way.

I know a call or 2 went Souths way but the majority went to the Storm.

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Ridiculous to say the refs favored one side or the other. They were just poor in general.

They completely ruined the first half by blowing penalty after penalty and many of them were really touch and go.

Put the whistle away you morons.
