If I were a Dragons supporter I'd be celebrating in a big way right now. Not sitting on an internet forum............interesting.

Full list of calls from the first half against dragons for you rugbymoron
and tonearm

1 Lelua knock on 9th minute

2 Knock on ruled against dragons (costigan) no knock on 14th minute

3 Roosters try worst decision of the game without doubt 15th minute.

4 Anasta offside at play the ball tackles young before dragons lose ball on next tackle roosters score this set. 18th minute

5 Daniel Conn takes Weyman out of the game should have been sent off 30th minute (dragons best prop plays only about 15minutes total)

6 Knock on ruled against ben creagh after roosters player not on flops in but also punches the ball out 34th minute

Thats just the first half cant be bothered doing the rest but thats enough to show that the refs where not giving all the desicions to the dragons.

On the 7 penalties given for the match

only 1 was given in the ruck a early holding down penalty against the roosters
only 1 for a offside defensive line following the the dragons charge down and break when the whole roosters side was offside
the other 5 where all forced penalties for high shots and illegal tackles
as predicted the refs did not call regulation penalties for holding down, offside markers or offside defenders.

Exactly. Proof that the refs were crap for both teams.

:lol: That was the softest high tackle penalty ever seen in the game.

You crushed whatever point you were making with this one comment alone.

AHAHAHAHA are you serious? A send off for that??


What makes a send off

Was intent obvious. Yes
Was illegal contact made. Yes

really what more are you looking for any player that falls into those catergories should be sent. In a lot of instances intent is the hard one to be sure of but in this case no one can doubt Conns intent was to land a swining arm on Weyman head. Weyman failed to play anymore part in the game.

If you think more or less is required for a send off tell me what it is.

You mean the Refs and the Broncos, surely.

Because today you didn't win sh*t. You might have won it fair and square, we'll never know.

Victory will go down as a farce. Worst grand final refereeing in the history of the NRL. Without question

Without a doubt, the most childish display I've seen on a forum in quite a while. Just wow. If you believe that then God help you. I hope life works out ok for you.

I was disappointed with the refs performance and felt they had so great an impact on the game that I can't be sure the best team won. But whilst I'm disappointed such major blunders were made I am glad they favored the best and most deserving team all season rather than the alternative.

Maybe in your mind, but its lucky no one gives a f**k what you think. Why do you even post here? Have you ever found anyone that agrees with your posts?

i'm a dragons fan and that wasn't a send off, it hardly connected, I don't know how weyman was concussed to be honest.

would've been a send off had it landed however

Again i will ask what more do you need than

intent
and
contact

If you are stupid enough and dont have the necessary restraint in a game to not deliberately try and injure someone through foul play then you forfeit your right to be on the field,

as i said above the most common incidents are not intentional but when you get a incident like that and there is no doubt that it was intentional and made contact the player has to be sent off.
