I think the Luai one is fair enough, but that’ll happen atleast another 3-4 times tomorrow and not get pulled up

the Doueihi one was ridiculous

it drove me crazy in that last 15mins, how much Cowboys were interfering in the ruck without any 6 agains. There was one stage on the last tackle, and the Tigers player (Naden?) is trying to play the ball, holding the ball in one hand with his arm completely outstretched and the cowboys marker is literally holding the underside of the ball for ages, right in front of the ref and nothing done.

Be honest though. You'd be pretty unimpressed had those decisions been made like that against the cowboys.
which decisions?

You talking the binning for repeated and clear obvious attempts to slow the play the ball down 3 times in a minute with the cowboys in prime attacking position? Or the utter stupidity of Doueihi running Bateman off the ball? (Bateman was at hundreds to be getting their first which makes it even more ridiculous that Doueihi did it).

Maybe Tigers fans should hold your players to account for cheap bullshit penalties instead of blaming the refs. They need to keep their game squeaky clean and don't give the ref even the remote chance to influence the game.

You were facing a team that had 4 backing up from origin and only had 2 on the bench by the 51min mark. I know you had periods of 12 men but we scored a few try's during both periods so it's not like you were chewing up bulk gas defending like demons out there.......Cotter and Nanai were out on their feet by the end due to Origin 3 nights earlier as well (Nanai played 80mins weds and last night).

Tiges have improved out of sight this year and I'm all for it as no fan base deserves the constant bullshit your mob has had to deal with on and off the field. But your players have to be smarter than that rubbish.

About 10 minutes after Luai was binned the cows gave away 2 quick restarts and held down for an eternity on tackle 3.

The ref should have had no choice but to bin someone. Nothing happened.

It's the absolutely stark lack of consistency that is so frustrating.
