Forward Passes

[parra_princess]

I know our gutless lethargic team was the reason we lost. I'm not denying that.

But I can't help but be pissed off at yet another abysmal effort by the Officials. Honestly touch judges are as useless as tits on a bull. Surely if the NRL were looking to save some $$$ they would get rid of the brain dead turkeys that do laps of the sidelines during games and give the all important job of deciding weather penalties/conversions go between the sticks to the main reff. If he isn't sure if it went through, consult the video reff. As we seem to for everything else. Hell if Hindy's shorts fell down the stupid ass reff would have gone upstairs to confirm that his crack was indeed showing.

Anyway to the point, the Cowboys threw EASILY 10 suspect passes. No exaggeration of the truth in that what-so-ever. To my memory not one was called. Touch judges as usual were just doing nothing. And about 10 fights broke out. Each time it was a Cowboys player pushing his fist into an eels face and yet the Reff decided he should show everyone that he can be a tough guy and went against the home side just to prove his point.

Look I know i'm getting desperate. But its 12 at night and I dont feel tired at all because im just so angry...Angry at Rugby League!!! I bet Jamie is at the bowling club now thinking Thank god I dont have to put up with this crap anymore.

There was definetly from memory of the boys behind me 4 forward passes not picked up and the poor touchie in the first side copped it all he could do was scratch his head

On telly, I thought the young ref handled himself well under the circumstances. We (esp Cayless) were undisciplined. There are no excuses.

I have no complaint with the ref....he was fair - did the same to both teams.....his style didn't favour us tonight and yeah maybe they got away with some forward passes - but it was our crap performance that cost us a game.

I still rate Jason Robinson as the best ref going around.

tell u what was funny but.... when the ref called in cayless... hes goes.. if u give that penalty against us the crowd is going to be on you all night...

i was sh*tting bricks in laughter that cayless was stooping that low to get a penalty and to break down the ref... since he hadnt refed that many games...

intimidation... didnt work... but was funny as hell

They call a forward pass a flat pass, nowdays.

That's why its not forward.

It has been creeping into the game for a few years.
