Rarely does a side get a bad run after giving it to refs. $10k well spent if it gives us even a 50/50 showing now

The fine is $20,000

Blowing kisses at fans and viciously attacking hardworking officials.

Lyin Ivan lost the plot

Put him on notice vlandys.

Run the gimp out of the game.

I doubt it was the six agains. It was things like the penalty against us for stripping which was an unsuccessful challenge, the unncessary late contact by Rapana on Mansour, the Raiders challenge after their player was put out by Cleary and Martin, and the first Raiders try where he appeared to get it down only after the whistle was blown.

The one for me was the Rapana over rule. If Martin doesn't come in then he passes it. Poor decision

Times are tough at NRL HQ.

Rightly or wrongly he pretty much called the ref a cheat... I'd say the fine is probably deserved.

 

[The_Frog]

Those of us who know your befuddled, witless and charmless character, we ain’t surprised.

You still sound like a jilted lover, left standing at the altar.

The bunker equally. I don't think they intend to change the result, just improve the product by engineering/choreographing a comeback. It's all about the product. They're doing it all the time, and certainly not only in our games (this is perhaps the second or third time it has happened to us this season) but you're not allowed to talk about it.

 

[ACTPanthers]

All this bitching about the refs makes me think I wandered into the Raiders forum...

Something every fan has done. The media does. Commentators do. Yet the only people who get punished for saying it are the ones who are directly influenced by their decisions (players and coaches). Its against the rules. So a fine was obviously coming.

But it's hardly deserved when a referee can f**k up week in week out. Often with decisions that decide the outcome of games and if the losers in that decision comment on it they get fined for it.

Now what AFB did was well and truly over the line. No place for that ever. I don't think a coach in a press conference answering questions honestly deserves punishment unless he has taken aim in a way like AFB did.

Tigers need to pull themselves together. Otherwise, they won't finish 9th this year.

Nah I’m spoken for.

Its more of an opportunistic grumble. Ivan walked right into it.

But generally, his comments didn’t advance the Panther cause one iota.

Put his own concerns above others.

Everyone thinks he’s a bad winner.

He needs to front the board and be put on notice.

It detracted from a truly superb performance.

We will be lucky to come last.

Nah Broncos need to claim their first wooden spoon. They can finish last.

Lol. Look at your own team before you criticize.

I haven’t criticised the Panthers at all Jane, on the contrary....

On the contrary everyone is talking about naughty Ivan instead of Prem favourite Panthers. High I.Q if anything.

That is the thing. You want coaches giving answers so it is a tough one
