Never forgotten penalty try in gf and the cartwheels on the sideline. FMD I hate MELBOURNE. Not sure if i have made that clear enough. No other team gets all the refs calls like they do.
If we had In our team yesterday controlling the rucks and refereeing plus banging goals over from everywhere.....simply We Win! f**k I hate him with envy, but admire him somehow.
Yep, I agree. After taking ages to start to leave the field, I thought Cronk walked a dangerous line (pun intended) when instead of walking straight off the field took a long diagonal and held the game up. The ref should have pulled him up and sent him straight to the sideline. I noted that supercilious look on Cronk's face too.What I found hardest to swallow yesterday was the time it took for Cronk to acknowledge he had been sin-binned and the time he took to leave the field. Caught out for a professional foul he then committed another and went unpunished by giving his team a couple of minutes extra respite while he ignored Cechin and then finally dawdled off. Should have been upgraded to a permanent send-off for gross misconduct and disrespect for the ref.
I wonder if the Club complained, would Cronk be facing the judiciary?Yep, I agree.

On another note, McCrone tried to grab the ball and get on with it when getting a penalty but the ref said basically 'calm down, time off has been called' but I never say the ref call time off and the clock counted down for another 12 to 15 seconds. Anyone notice that?
Nailed it..,Hate to say it but Melbourne have everyone associated with the NRL 'star struck' and they have the premiership on a string. It was evident on Sunday with the officiating. When they dropped a ball in a tackle, the opinion was that there's no way a player in this 'great' Melbourne team would drop a ball cold so it must of been stripped. Reverse the situation and you get a knock on, scrum feed to Melbourne. The officials need to stop reading the papers and do their f**king job and call games straight down the middle. The penalties we got and the sin binning were just a square up so their jobs weren't called into question.
And the way Cronk walked off SLOW to give the Storm time to recover should have deserved a send off for decent.Hate to say it but Melbourne have everyone associated with the NRL 'star struck' and they have the premiership on a string.

Yep and that's another farce. When a player is sin binned, the referee needs to point in the direction of the shortest way off the field and give the player 20 seconds to leave. If both/one of those instructions are not adhered to, the player should be sent for another 10 mins (20 mins off in total). The NRL puts in scrum and drop out clocks but AGAIN they're not proactive in things such as this.And the way Cronk walked off SLOW to give the Storm time to recover should have deserved a send off for decent.
BSE, what about Cronulla?For me Its do I despise Melbourne or Hate Brisbane......or do I despise Brisbane and Hate Melbourne.......again do I despise Melbourne and hate Brisbane or do I hate Brisbane and despise Melbourne.....Mmmm its a draw I hate and despise the pair of the wankers
