90 minutes of my life i'll never get back

At the same time in watching this snorefest,I was watching high rollers playing the slot machines in Vegas at $400 a spin. It's the only thing that was keeping me awake.

He's actually one of my favourites.

Really?

I always feel like we get the rough end of the pineapple from him; I find his interpretations a little inconsistent.

But overall, this was a bludger of a game - sorry, NRL fans!

Fair enough.

We don't always win the calls with him but I think he will end up being a great ref.

It's Cecchin I hate.

Oh, Cecchin - awful ref.

 

[Clifferd]

Can we agree, at least, that the refs were terrible all game?

Perenara has to be the worst going at the moment.

Agree. Usually he's too whistle happy but he let a lot go tonight

Mainly of the bad stuff

 

[Bazal]

Unless it's a clear field with nobody in sight or a blatant swinging arm in a try scoring situation It shouldn't be a penalty try

Not like parra were dudded there anyway - got the penalty and played against 12 men for 10 mins

Anyways congrats to your mob I thought you guys were better for most of the game

Yeah Moses would have probably scored, but probably doesn't equal a penalty try. Anything can happen that far away.

Ultimately we won on our defence. 30% of the footy second half without a single penalty, and camped in our own end....yeah we conceded twice, but we could have conceded a lot more than we did and we have at times this year.

Sometimes you've gotta win ugly and honestly that's something we've been very poor at the last few years. So there's an upside even to an awful game like that lol.

Yeah, I thought he was pretty crap for both sides, tbh.

 

[no name]

The only thing I got out of all of your posts.

lol@Souths

 

[Rabbits20]

Most definitely.

Bad thing is we have him for Sunday.

My older cousin who goes for Parra says these last few years he can't remember a match where Souths won and the calls were fair with Cecchin.

And it doesn't stop there - how bad are the officials in the Bunker?

I think Henry tries to seem like he doesn't give the 50/50 calls to us, as he played for us (and it's the same with his other clubs), but it just winds up skewing the calls against us.

He's a decent ref otherwise. Not great, not poor. IMO anyway

Yeah, fair call.

Flip a coin is what seems to go on in there!!!!!

Klein is a goose!!!!!

 

[Rabbits20]

Next week minus their origin stars I have to tip Parra by a field goal yet again against the Storm. Brown to make over 200 metres again and carry the pack towards finals footy!!!!

Thought Parras defense was outstanding if that's any consolation

If my mob could defend half as good as that I'd be Fkin stoked

 

[GongPanther]

Well they're doing better than our sides......

not fer long lad...

 

[ed-grimley]

Oh, Cecchin - awful ref.

I reckon all the refs are shit, but at least this bloke had the balls to give a penalty in GP.

 

[GongPanther]

Your coaching staff were very poor with his development and you didn't get the best out of him at your abomination!!!!!

Now in a much better environment look how well he's going!!!!

What happened to your development? He did have moments were he was sublime at the WT. The only problem was is he started listening to too many people and chased the bigger dollars. That wasn't the fault of the club if he saw that the grass was greener on the other side.Just hope for his sake the grass doesn't go all yellow.

 

[GongPanther]

At least when he does it, it's an act

Boom-tishhhhh!
