There were 4 decisions in that game that i shake my head.
Dunster scores and pass was called forward from Gutho. No one went to look back at it and when you look at the pass in fast motion it went out of the hands backwards.
Will Penisini & Mitchell Moses both get dragged back when Fergo makes a linebreak with 15 mins to go. Wtf was the touchie and Klein looking at. There was least one professional foul in that play.
With 3 mins to go Gutho got tackled near the sideline and the ball was stripped as he was on the ground being tackled but Klein called play on. Sterlo was bemused its either a knock on or a penalty.
Mitch Kenny rolled his ankle 20m behind the play oh lets just the stop the game so Penrith can get a break while were on the attack.
When you have Ferguson milk a penalty and then get up and celebrate like a pork chop as soon as the whistle was blown. Gutho/Moses waving their hands at everything? Wonder if those things sub consciously had affected ref decisions afterwards?
Despite those decisions, we should have won the game IMO. We had plenty of opportunity to do so, same as the Cows did in the 2022 prelim despite us getting a blatant forward pass try that got us over the line.
Point being, we need to get better in what we can control, we do that then decisions like those above wont matter or dont get to happen.
As the great Peter Sterling always says . The great teams create their own luck. I think all of us on here can acknowledge we are far from great
