2019 R5 Fri - Cowboys 12-18 Storm @ 1300SMILES

[JB04]

I’m not even surprised to tell you the truth. This was the same ref that awarded Melbourne 28 penalties last year when we played them in round 2. Twenty fking eight pentalties. Atkins is a shocking ref and should spend the rest of the season on the touch line.

 

[STORM.99/07]

The fact that ANYONE, even if it's only one or two abject Victorian geniuss whose IQs wouldn't add up to a halfback, is arguing that the ref did the right thing in allowing the Cowboys to defend with two players down badly injured...Well, there are good Melbourne fans, but f**k they can be hard to find sometimes.

This pair are the proof that we evolved from tunicates. Or more correctly, most of us evolved...

I NEVER SAID THE REF did the right thing by allowing play to go on. I said it wasn`t Storm`s fault play was allowed to go on. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT genius

 

[Maximus]

No storm fan (as far as I can tell) is saying the game shouldn’t have been stopped - just saying that it’s not storms fault that it continued.

Obviously the game should have been stopped. Fundamentally it was a massive flaw

I've seen numerous occasions where an opposition trainer alerts the ref that play needs to be stopped. Considering the Cowboys trainers were busy looking after 2 seriously injured players, it's understandable they couldn't run 50 meters to alert the refs. I have no doubts that the trainers at every other club would have said something. Not Melbourne though who have time and time again shown that winning is more important than caring for the safety of an opposition player.

And you're proof someone with four chromosomes can reach adulthood

I'm here all weekend.

If Cam smith is 1 of those 2 injured the ref blows the whistle for time off before he hits the ground.

They'd cancel the rest of the season and declare a national disaster

Learn to read. I said you defended the opinion.

Right here, in response to a post t-ba made having a crack at the germ who did say the refs did the right thing.

Yes it is a serious LEG injury not a head injury so he was right

Get your facts right indeed...

If you want to retract that defence, you would actually go up in most people's estimation. I feel like you're about 14 judging by the way you post, so there's a free life lesson for you kid

Cows looked better tonight, great start to the year by the Storm.

Melbourne are basically a Queensland team ..so what do you expect? Grubs
f**kin grubs

I’m a blues supporter as well. But your ignorance is not acceptable. Every Maroons player is a grub you say?
How about Latrine Mitchell? A true grub, plays for the blues. Greg Bird, Luke O’Donnell etc etc.
Go paint something & stay away from Rugby League. merkins like you give our game a bad name.

 

[Wild Wilbur]

What a load of shit.

Not at all. That would most certainly happen & you know it

 

[macnaz]

Yeah they sure could call on the medicab whilst play is on.

Idiot.

Could have taken out a few Storm players with the medicab but while Melbourne still had a chance to score the refs wouldn't have noticed something was going on.

 

[Pedge1971]

When was the last time this kinda shit worked against the Storm?

That is the issue...

Exactly right. It’s way too obvious with bias towards results. This post will most likely be deleted, but surely everyone has had enough of the useless officials f**king our game up. When is it going to stop? Haven’t heard boo from Greenberg lately

Not Melbourne though who have time and time again shown that winning is more important than caring for the safety of an opposition player.

Watch the replay - two Melbourne trainers are on the field assisting the Cowboys with their injured players. In the moment I'm sure trainers from both clubs were more interested in helping the players than any protocol to stop play, especially when the refs should have made that glaringly obvious call on their own.

 

[hineyrulz]

Munster`s legs were taken out in a tackle. .not Storm`s fault the play wasn`t stopped when 2 cowboy players took themselves out of the game.

You are a f**king struggler, no wonder Storm fans are considered the most clueless in the NRL by quite a margin.

 

[This Year?]

That's because Greenburg is trying to work out which Sydney club he is going to f**k over.

The ref blows him first and then the whistle.

Last time I can remember the Storm not getting the rub of the green was the 06 GF.

The NRL and refs have made up for it ever since.

I’m still waiting for him to help the Eels become a powerhouse.

That’s incredibly unfair.

It’s the job of the touchy to alert the ref to stop play. He/she didn’t. The players from both sides continued as they should have.

No one immediately knew old mate broke his leg. Let’s be real.

Like I said - play should have been stopped. But don’t blame storm for that.

 

[King hit]

Melbourne were just that bit better despite not really playing well. Just want to say how disgraceful it was how the referees didn’t stop the game when 2 cowboys went down seriously injured and how the Storm got away with murder in the last few minutes.

Hope I don’t have to hear as much now about that two contract signing salary cap fraud since the record is now his.
