am i still dreaming

[bonstonker]

woke up at 4am to get the updates and see we won at nth queensland :shock: and played only 2 props. :shock:

this has got to be a dream

I wish it was a dream! It is a f**king nightmare mate!

They started O'neill as prop with Skando, Gibbs was on the bench.Galea started 2nd row with Graham and Satts at lock. Lima was supposed to be there but I dont think he was...dont recall seeing him.
Bench was Farah, Gibbs, Harrison and Halatau. I wish Sheens would stop f**kin round with the bench, no-one knows whats goin on...I heard three different benches today.

I think we must've set some sort of record tonite....I would guess for the last 30 minutes or so there wasnt 2 passes thrown in succesion....one out, one out, one out....playin the clock down.....ugly as hell but so were the Cowboys and hey we got the 2 points so what the hell.

i really hope this is a very short term thing with our props.
buckets is not a prop and his yardage each week proves it.
when boof gets back,things will change,but when skando gets injured i hope sheens hopes lima is finally ready.
i guess sheens didn't want to go with 2 rookie props,it's the only reason i can think of.
i suppose the one out stuff was about the tigers just controlling the ball and finishing sets and gaining field position.did they actually control the ball or try to lose this game like the previous weeks.

but well done to the boys.
a win next week then the bye and we are looking good,especially when you add that boof will be due to come back.

They were just playing ultra conservative, ultra safe.
They scored on the last set of six before halftime and the first set after halftime to take the score to 18-2, which was another positive away from the negatives of the past where we have usually let in tries in this period.
After the 2nd hlf try I would say 70-75% of the play was in our half....the defence was uncrackable, and the only "try" they got....which wasnt a try, came from a kick.That was the disappointing aspect to this game as it should have been the first time wests have held a team try-less.

thanks mick stone
you useless prick

the tigers really have to do something about him,time for us to go to the league and the media and get him sacked or at least banned from our games.

I agree completely Bonstonker!

As does the media (Vossy gave it to him on the Sunday Footy Show - and RLW slammed him for last week's first try)!

First thing I did after the game was call the club and leave a message demanding that we protest via Robert Finch on the basis that Mick Stone has given three incorrect TRY rulings against us in four games!!!

The bloke is a complete f**king joke - and the clib must act!!!

 

[Tigerpete]

Your words ring like music to my ears snide.......i couldnt agree any more.......he is a deadset joke!!!! I dont weant him dropped either..........he deseves to lose his job.

Fortunately the Cronulla and Cowboys decisions did not affect the result (but it does impact our for-and-against - which may prove to be crucial in August)!!!

But the decision for Brisbane DID impact - leaving us to play from behind for almost all of the game!!!

And that Broncos decision was not just a case of blindness or benefit of the doubt (where there is f**king none to gain benefit from) - but it was a clear case of getting the rules wrong!

You cannot run a player on-side (even if it did occur - which it did not) when the player in question remains or moves within the 10 metre perimeter of the ball/defender whilst offside!

His decision in Round One was just as f**king mind-boggling - as despite Elford being blatantly held back - he gave the try under the justification that he speculated Elford would not have got there!!! What Bull sh*t!!!

The fact is that as a video ref he does not have the power of discretion to ignore an obvious rule breach and decide it would've been scored anyway!!! On that decision alone - he should have been booted!

However in a context where there has recently been formal action taken for other incorrect decisions - after three shockers Stone has to face sanctions from the NRL!!

The fact is that the pr**k is completely incompetent (and/or corrupt) and must go!
