Have seen a lot of blowing up on social media, I’ll admit that I wasn’t watching the game super closely, but Cecchin is just a crap ref and I’ve seen a lot worse in the past, I’ll probably get flamed like I have from my mates, but it didn’t all go one way
For example if it was complete bias against the Warriors, near the end of the first half how did they get the non call when Green stripped the ball from Murray, a set repeat, another set repeat on the last tackle, and then a Souths player sent to the bin
Pretty sure it was already 18-6 at this stage and a sin bin where you split the 10 mins with 1/2 time makes it much easier when defending. Sure Cechin gave shit calls both ways but as soon as we went up 6-0 early doors he started f**king us up down and sideways.For example if it was complete bias against the Warriors, near the end of the first half how did they get the non call when Green stripped the ball from Murray, a set repeat, another set repeat on the last tackle, and then a Souths player sent to the bin
Seriously. We deserved to lose tonight. But Cecchin gave us no chance. If these bastards are not going to give us a fair shake, why are we forcing our boys to be away from their family.
Come home boys. F**k their comp
I really struggle to blame refs when we play the way we do.
The game is all about momentum and refs can definitely swing that with bad calls, but when you bomb tries, concede marshmallow soft ones at the other end, and generally drop your bundle with a "woe is me" attitude when things go against you, it's hard to blame anyone else.
We're going to get pumped this week. Melbourne on the bounce back from a loss, these sort of quotes coming out.
When I posted this, I was feeling pretty over it- sick of what I feel like is a consistent raw deal from the refs. I was pretty much keen for us to just harpoon the comp.
I've calmed down a bit now. I still think the refs are giving us a raw deal, but I get that you can play well enough to overcome and even reverse that and we don't.
