2024 World Club Challenge

Thank god for Captain’s Challenge in the NRL. Could’ve turned this game completely.

The bunker gave their 3rd try. Not sure we'd get that still

They barely got out of their half. It was criminal reffing

1/2 metre short.. try, goes to video can't over turn it lol

 

[Black Diamond]

That'll do me, worst performance by a ref ever

 

[Fangs]

English touch judges are something else. Too much brain rot from watching soccer.

They only raise their flags when the ball flies 100m outside the field of play. Not necessarily biased as I saw plenty of Penrith plays not called. They are just highly incompetent.

 

[Michael Matral]

Needed to do more..but jeez we had all the decisions go against us..

 

[Port Panther]

Doomed to never win that trophy I'm afraid.

 

[The yak]

We either don't care about the concept or prepared poorly.
We had a few calls go against us but Wigan were the marginally better team.
We will have to play a lot better against Melbourne in a few weeks time.

Ref was not good but we hurt ourself 2 bad play the ball in the closing of the game took the pressure off .We controlled the middle and made breaks there should have been more inside passes up the middle to the fastest guys

I wasn’t talking about try/no try decisions, rather the multitude of dud calls in general play (play the balls, strip etc etc)

I get that but the same muppet who was behind those calls is making those too

 

[Hooked]

Didn't see the 2nd half. I noticed Peach came on for Turuva. Any injuries?

 

[TroyJax]

As predicted by myself a few months ago, Penrith are proven to be losers on the world stage.
They are bloody lucky they don’t play in the super league.

Something with Tito- ankle? Hopefully only minor.

I said the inclusion of Captain’s Challenge would’ve saved us from some of those calls. Not sure what your point is (other than the ref was bad?)

 

[BossleyPanther]

Refs decision break momentum, not we didn't want to win or get into the game. I wish some players or coaches would be allowed to say how we feel about refs and call em out. Reds just continue to get away with shit like today.

Something with Tito- ankle? Hopefully only minor.

Will be livid if it’s a serious injury from an absolute nothing play that didn’t need to be made

 

[PennyPanthers81]

Fingers crossed not another May situation

 

[Chins get the wins]

I laughed out loud after the Martin strip call. I hope we don't bother going back in 2026

Man what a difference captains call would have made in this game...
Rigged match in the end especially with both those "over the line" Wigan try and Penriths "no try"
But i suppose the silver lining is that it'll light a fire under the boys to smash it up this season, and on the flip side the english league will feel somewhat important, when really its just where our nuffy offcuts go to retire
