Happy with the call, unlucky for the broncs. The fact that he dropped the ball after the accidental contact means a penalty had to be given, if he held onto the ball I’d doubt a penalty would be given.

My man on the ground suggests the Brisbane crowd were booing rising interest rates.

Either way you think you'd take a break while a player who has lost about a litre of blood leaves the field.
The fact the booing reached a crecendo when Jordy was being taken off on the mini ambulance while having an emergency blood transfusion , shows the pleas of broncos fans on here that they've been misunderstood.................. is utter bullshit

I'd doubt it , he was opened up like a stuck pig due to contact with his head

they penalise regardless

good win but we still got huge issues... our dummy half service is so f**king terrible. We had the broncos on their goal line with numbers at one stage and Woolford threw 2 of the most pathetic passes you will ever see and ended up losing the ball because of it. Our attack is hilariously disorganized at times, not sure whether it was cause Wighton was missing but we constantly have forwards going in as first receiver and then passing to another forward. anyway I was supposed to be at the game but fell sick, really wish I had went
Oh sorry to hear that. I actually thought about how you'd be having the time of your life there a few times!! Usually after a loss I think about long suffering fans of that club having some happiness and it eases some of it for me*. Especially @AlwaysGreen @Chief_Chujo @Pete Cash and even @skeepe

*just not melbourne ever

Still can’t believe Taupau was put on report for that tackle.
They had to do it once the bunker intervened as the ref originally called a knock on. To change the call on the bunkers advice in an instance like this that didn't involve a restart of play, it had to be a "reportable offence".

No matter the call last night, one fan base was going to be livid at it.

Hahaha this is glorious stuff, it really is.

Reynolds staying down WAS looked at. The ref and bunker were both of the opinion that he was a sooky little bitch who should get on with it.

As for the Flegler one, are you f**king high? A tackler gets himself in a bad position and you want a penalty for that? Do you even understand rugby league? Absolute smooth brain bullshit.

But we could do this all day, couldn’t we?

Riki was dropping elbows and forearms all night and got away with it.

Mam wasn’t binned despite jumping up to make forceful contact with his shoulder direct to the head.

Capewell hit Papa with a shoulder to the face, forcing him off for an HIA but wasn’t even penalised.

Hopoate was adjudged to have knocked on despite never losing control of the ball. The Broncos scored off the next set.

Kris was penalised for a high tackle for getting Walsh around the shoulders about a centimetre off the ground.

Kris was ruled to have knocked on for pulling the ball into his own body. Despite the rules confirming this is not a knock on, the bunker confirmed the ruling and took away our challenge.

I could go on and on. Stop blaming the ref, especially when he was firmly on your side.

I will first of all say that, even if the ref wasn't clearly against us, we still lose. Full credit to Canberra, they were way better.

As for the Flegler thing, I never said he deserved a penalty. He didn't, that's the point. You can't just go penalising every head knock and he didn't, but he penalised some and that's double standards. Rapana's head was at knee height at the time. What is Marty supposed to do in that situation?
