The refs f**k us over cos we are last?
Seriously? Do you not think that teams at the bottom of the table are reffed differently to the teams at the top? Take last year for example...I reckon we got the rub of the green more often than not and IMO that was largely due to our position on the ladder.

I think you’re being naive to think otherwise.

It's what happens when you play in Brisbane. Don't you remember 'Penalty Broncos'?

Anyway, we lost most penalty counts in the second half last year as well, despite leading at half time and winning most games.

Of course it is. It is zero points from six games.
You’ve complained numerous times this year about the refereeing. What was the excuse for those games? Geez you hold onto a position, even when logic points elsewhere.

2 and 10. Sack the prick
He is definitely under immense pressure. At least he tried something with Norman at fullback which worked well.

I just don’t think we have the leaders to make the tough call on him. Whatever happens 2019 will be another rebuilding year.

I can’t knock the effort tonight. We looked much better. Putting Norman at fullback was a great move. All the boys tried their arses off. Execution let us down.

Alvaro and Gower played like lions.

Terepo best on field. He is starting to come good. Beast mode.

By going for the try your putting broncos under pressure. Taking two let’s them off. Momentum slows and they get a break
But the likeihood of us scoring once was low. Scoring twice was pretty much nil. FMD. It’s not that hard.

Forwards were good, with the exception of Vave, Matagi was borderline... Seriously don't see the point in giving Marata only 20 minutes. I'd rather he played Vave's role in the middle I'm sure he'd do a better job

Throw Hayne, Brown, Kaysa and Mannah in the side and maybe some confidence, and they're not far away... Problem is we have no idea how to score points, and merkins like Ashley Klein and that prick with the flag in his hand on the sideline aren't helping our cause either ..

My favourite part:

Late in the second half, when Lodge swings his arm into Terepo's face; the only reason we got the penalty was because Terepo milked it. Had he not stayed down, we would not have gotten the penalty.

Shows how incompetent the refs are.

I sent Todd an angry e-mail about it last year, and his reply was to simply defend the refs by saying they're human, and make mistakes.

That doesn't excuse the fact they let one forward pass go, and call another; they allow our players to be hit in midair; and don't call a high tackle on Taka, when the replays clearly show Pangai him him high.

They're a bunch of lousy cheats.

Look I understand, but we have been complaining all season the we have no ball or momentum, then we give it away with the 2.

Yeah maybe you are right .... i believe our refs are easily influenced
