2025 R7 Fri - Canterbury 32-0 South Sydney @ Accor

[Warrimoo3]

A great chance for the NRL to showcase the game. Totally destroyed by Atkins.

 

[no name]

Dogs are a good side and we’re clearly the better team but it f**ks me why Atkins wanted to ruin it as a spectacle.
The NRL should filthy on him for turning viewers off.

 

[Jordan]

The problem is, it isn’t for all teams.

The Bulldogs really do have the ref in their pocket at the moment. Good on them I guess. The more you win the 'luckier' you get with the officials.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

I have no idea what to make of this performance

I actually think our goal line defence has been pretty good given how many chances they have had

Insipid attack though

But we were never given a chance to really find out

What a load of bullshyte.

Souffs are an ordanairy team .

 

[Game_Breaker]

Bulldogs fan here folks. Can’t decipher humour

At least I have all my teeth

Refs love the fairytale team, always have

Its why it kills me how we're always so shit, even just get slightly good and watch these pricks ride us home every week

 

[Perth Red]

Shame it wasn’t a better game, that crowd deserved an epic.

 

[Warrimoo3]

Dally M points :

G. Atkins 500 points and the Dally M medal for the next 5 years

Nobody else earned any points

 

[10$ Ferret]

Whinhe all you want but souffs were 10x than the ref in the first half. Absolute duds crumbling as soon as they play a good team

Welcome to 1994, here we have a new thing called the internet and original jokes of your calibre. You’ll fit right in.

Jai Arrow had a punch up with a Doggies fan?

I notice it all the time as a Cowboys fan. When we're playing bad the officials double down and we barely get a call go our way, particularly when we play in Sydney. But when we string a few together and the media start talking positively about us all of a sudden the calls begin to change. It has even happened this year to some degree.

Lol, this guy. I make one comment about the Sharks saying they might not have performed as good as they think they did (they went on to lose their next 2), and this clown proceeds to follow me around the forum like a small child. I'm flattered, sweetheart, but I'm married.

 

[Apey]

I thought the studio panel being 3/4 Bulldogs was pretty cool. Ennis, Graham and Foran.

 

[Warrimoo3]

This “kick them when they’re down” attitude doesn’t make any sense. It just alienates the fan bases of the teams getting dudded. Look how many Tigers’ players were sin binned last year. The Api one was embarrassing from the view of a neutral. If anything they should be giving the “rub of the green” to the struggling clubs to keep their fans invested .

Just watched the highlights, did someone get sat down for a love slap?
Come on now NRL we used to be cool

Geez dragon Slayer has been very critical of the way the Sharks play but you got triggered because he said that Souths didn’t play that well…we can’t offer opinions now because we follow other teams..…

In fairness the referees are there to police the rules, not make it an even contest. A few years ago the Tigers got absolutely towelled up by the ref in a golden point loss to Souths. In the media briefing on Monday Annessleley admitted three crucial calls were all wrong against the Tigers. Paul Kent then wrote an extremely well worded article about sub conscious bias against so called 'shit teams' by the officials. Essentially it was saying that referees never go out to purposely be against a certain team however in 50/50 moments then 'good teams' will always get the call, this will happen even more so when the game is on the line or the 'shit team' is leading, as sub consciously the referee is programmed to believe the good team should win, the also know that there will be less blow back and less scrutiny if the 'good' team wins as its whats expected.

That would be terrifically on brand
