Problem is that Simpkins was trying to do his best Bill Harrigan "hide my wistle" impersonation that he didn't have the balls to make any hard decisions.....the sooner everyone stops asking for refs to referee like Harrigan the better.....thats why I like Jason Robinson as a ref - he just refs it as he sees it - doesn't come in thinking "oh, I gotta not give too many penalties" - "oh, this team has a history of X, look out for it" etc etc

Good call Strides!!

NSW are a pack of cheats...players and officials. UNTRUE

* Slater nearly breaking his neck in that tackle in the first half. Where was the penalty? TRUE
* Simpkins not awarding a penalty try and sin binning the No. 1 for a professional foul on Sing. Sin Bin TRUE, Pemalty try NOT TRUE
* That brain dead touchy calling Slater out when he passed back inside to Tonga. NSW scores from the scrum. TRUE
* NSW getting a penalty when the No.4 lost the ball over the line.....that did it for me!!! FALSE, it was stripped by Carlaw
* No.16 taking out Wesser...fair enough try not allowed but wasn't that a professional foul...10 in the bin?? PENALTY yes, SIN BON No

All in all, Queensland were screwed over. They were not screwed out of a win, but out of the possibility for a win, which is a big thing. If the right calls had have gone the right way (ie Queenslands way) they wouldn't have been blown off the park and they there would have been a grandstand finish

I'll agree with that....sin binnings would have played a major part.

All XXXX under the bridge now!!
