Tin foil hat on....
14 penalties? At home? jeez....
The other night, some tackles the ref called held, then two Storm players come in and knock the player over, then lay on them, then have a hand on them when they get up, no penalty.
Just then, Titans lose the ball, dive on it, clearly a "surrender", one tackler jumps on them, pinged after 2 seconds.
I know I'm just quoting isolated incidents, and Storm concede quite a few as well as us (and we do lie around in the ruck slowing it), but the refs are just gagging to blow penalties against us....
Tin foil hat removed.
We played poorly with the ball, looked good at patches but execution was poor. We defended and kicked solidly. That was more than enough for a Titans outfit that looked bereft of ideas in attack.
