I think the ref is getting coached by the bunker during the game. Take the bunker out and use it for foul play and tries only

Increase penalties for foul play and let the judiciary sort it out. Bunker for tries only

What's the go with the Olam falcon? Is that being treated as a knock on this year?

I remember they shafted the Raiders with it too when it hit wighton.

Nope, tis the unconscious bias of refs that if a pass is propelled forward it must presumably and incontrovertibly be off the hand/arm.

 

[Perth Red]

Coates best genuine try denied of the season!

 

[Generalzod]

I think it’s time to automate the refs.

 

[Generalzod]

I hope this ref gets the grand final just for the lols

There are more lols when Aitkens is referring.

This referee just proved the Warriors sponsors claims were wrong.

Referees aren't cheats. They're just incompetent.

Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, they certainly are, at the very least, incompetent. With no other factors in play (such as the accused unconscious bias), their officiating will be below standard. But then they still have to answer the question as to whether their incompetent officiating disproportionately affects some teams over others in a way that it shouldn't.

I am happy enough to accept, I think, that the treatment that we generally get from the referees isn't about us being a kiwi team, as much as it is us not being one of the better teams and so in order to get better treatment, we need to earn it by consistently being better.

Also (as I think you're a Panthers' fan, right) I want to acknowledge that the Panthers were the better team on the night and deserved to win the game. No question there.

I guess where I come back to is that until the referees lift the standard of their officiating (or at least own up to it, instead of insisting, as Annesley does, that it's impeccable), then they have to put up with all of the angst and all of the officiating that'll come their way from fans, even if it includes words like 'bias' and even 'cheating'because everybody is trying to make sense of why a professional sport can be so poorly run on the field.

I thought the chasers may have hesitated at first which could’ve effected the outcome. Just wish the ref called play on from the outset.

Refs need to be prepared to play more advantage to see where play ends up

 

[Maximus]

Yep. Scum scored 2 tries off the back of some seriously laughable sin bins. The final margin was 8.

Don't you mean one of the most obvious professional fouls of the year, and the definition of a hip drop?

Oh and the scum scored a try off the back of a non-call for one of the most obvious shoulder charges of the year

 

[gUt]

Finally, someone has the definition of a hip drop!

Evidently it's any tackle where you try to bring the opposition player to the ground but you happen to be behind him.

 

[Fangs]

Kevvie should have taken his hat off at the presser.

 

[mozza91]

Broncos fans thinking they were robbed is kind of adorable.

Well no, we actually had the definition a year ago

Key indicators of a hip drop tackle

Graham Annesley explains the key indicators referees and review officials are looking at when trying to classify a hip drop tackle

Drops the hips and swings - check
Swivels the nearest hip away from the body - check
Lands their body weight on the lower leg to stop momentum - check

This "oh he was just slipping" crap is laughable.

Walsh has been charged with a shoulder charge. On the flip side, Carrigan wasn't charged for his hip drop.

Outstanding refereeing performance last night. Broncos last try was my personal favourite - player playing the ball starts fight with marker, try is scored by running past said marker being held, try is given, both players sin-binned.

Nah the shit calls went both ways for sure. We were robbed of a decent game imo.

I don't agree that's what happened in this case, neither does the judiciary apparently.

Key indicators what a load of corporate jargon...

 

[Fangs]

The Walsh shoulder charge was a shocker.

He is lucky he is good looking.

We can just log in on the NRL app and make collective decisions?

Skeepe would go against everyone though.
