How To Manipulate a Result

[Stake Removed]

Only cause they have dogs up next I think. Possibly 2 weeks in a row

They have the Knights next week they want to protect Ponga

Which other game awards try’s and 5 minutes later it’s taken away…The game has become a joke with the sin binning of players, no other Sport that manipulates results like the NRL …Thanks for destroying whatever love I had for this game Vlandys…

The game is nothing like it was, at start of season I mentioned the play the balls, they are a joke.\

Let's start a crackdown this game 1 next season but Vlandys will not have it, as those games are in Vegas, heaven forbid there are penalties in the game.

The drop out rule which is a joke now, it doesn't help the attack by forcing a drop out.

Every year another rule which takes us further away from the game we grew up with, they don't care about us anymore we are the wrong demographic, I can see them moving to quarters not halves next.

And also the half time break it has always been 10 minutes now, its around 15 again Vlandys doesn't care

Can we talk about the Nicho try for a sec. The player apparently impeded still had a defender between him and Nicho. Pretty much meaning no player was impeded. How is it that no one else picked up on this.

The 4-0 ruck infringements for the game says it all, multiple times a Sharks player had been tackled, got up to play the ball and was shoved back down, nothing…

But the biggest clue to how he was reffing was when Hazelton bullshit penalty occurred, he was discussing with SJ and others on why it wasn’t a sin bin. Was having a good chat and explaining everything.

Short time later heard him saying I won’t be discussing or explaining that decision to you, obviously to a Sharks player after a call went the Warriors way.

Clear bias and that’s not even looking at him patting the Warriors player on the back after they scored.

If Cutlet gets an NRL game next week he must have inflammatory photos of whoever appoints the refs.

The only positive I could think to take out of last night is that this clown will be nowhere near a finals match.

It is a BS penalty, but it has been ruled that way all year. I called it would be pulled back as soon as it happened.

Hunt should have known enough to keep moving through the line.

They've that penalty when blokes are 3 defenders and 10 metres away. Cleary was awarded one recently. It's the players that are dumb. Just run all the way through the line and give them nothing to penalise.

Yep, said it to the wife as soon as I saw the replay.
Royce takes two more steps and it’s a non issue.
Stupid error.

There was a tap the Warriors took on the 50, he took us back to the 35.

At one point I thought people were going to jump the fence.

When Iro took DWZ out over the sideline just before he was binned, you could clearly hear Butler telling the players, “it’s a play the ball.” Which indicates neither he nor the touchies saw anything bad in the tackle.

Butler was ready to play on.

But no, the bunker has to interfere. It makes a mockery also of him saying there’d been repeated high tackles. He was ready to play on, the thought of a sin bin never entered his head, it was the bunker that told him to send Iro to the bin.

I am not one to normally criticise the referee system but it was a downright stitch up on Saturday night.

They hate to give a decision that curtails a teams momentum when they’re coming back into a game - they prefer to keep giving decisions that favour momentum. You saw it with the Roosters game too - Roosters were on a roll, and they just kept giving them decision after decision.
