Consistently Biased Referees against Panthers

I am fed up talking about the unjustified decisions or non decisions by referees every week.
But my questions are:
1.Why did the referee not go to video ref for possible offside on the Sea Eagles winning try? If it was the Panther's who scored, I bet my last dollar they would watch it 10 times ?
2. Matai not put on report for a shoulder tackle?

I don't think it's been too bad this year for us. The last couple weeks it's felt like it though.
Dogs game for example we got the rub of the green.

WHY DID LATIMORE GET SUSPENDED
add that to the list

A flavour of the month suspension. He'd have been back for the Warriors if the club didn't stupidly decide to fight the charge, no matter how innocuous they thought it was.

2. Matai not put on report for a shoulder tackle?

Matai was put on report but not charged by the review panel. Maybe it looked worse than it was from the only angle shown on TV and they had other angles, That's all I can surmise. DWZ got up OK and was not looked at for concussion so it appears the hit was not as high as it looked.

The inaction after Idris was hit high was I think the worst error of all and crucial to the outcome.

The Roosters have great long threads about how they are picked on by refs, I hope we don't do the same. I think we were hammered under Elliott, but we get about a 50/50 run now. The Manly game left a bad taste though, no doubt about it.

It's everywhere. Anyone seen the Ch9 Finals ad? We are no where to be seen despite being top 4

I did notice that! I saw the same ad last night and noticed they've tacked on a half second shot of Sowie scoring a try - I wonder if someone complained...?

Yeah, my wife noticed Idris getting knees to the head (I didn't on first look) and asked if that was allowed? As many have said we win some, we lose some. There are not too many teams that are consistently on the wrong side of the penalty count, except maybe the Rooster and I think Parra get a pretty raw deal most of the time too.

I dont think we cop it consistently but against manly at brookie and and the storm anywhere you are likely to come off second best.

The stat that really matters is one win since 2010 with Ben Cummins in charge.

Don't have him...we are in with a chance.

Ever since Bellamy had a tantrum they have had the rub of the green in all their matches. Maybe Ivan should go off his merkin in a presser, seems to work for Bellamy and Toovey.

Yep and despite his simply disgraceful sin bin on Gillett on Friday he hasn't been dropped. Luckily he'd in charge of the Bulldogs game.
