Is all forgiven with steve clarke now?

Did you even watch the no-try incident? The Penrith player was clearly offside. How can that it be a 'pay back' from Clark when he made the correct ruling?

FFS, the bloke has been hammering us for years. One match where he did the right thing doesn't change anything.
Good for you.

But I think you forgot to mention that you've also been reading lots of books in case someone asks questions.

:lol:

so reading a book is bad now?

OK since you reminded me, the no try to penrith wasnt that big a deal.

the other one was though.

didnt the VR call the tackle on creagh where it was deemed a lift after the ref had called knock on, that was very iffy.

dont forget the VR call on a saints player being held back with a minute to go as well.

it seemed on the night that clarke wanted to make up for the no try call in the parra game.

every 50/50 went saints way.

just like in the roosters / knights today it seemed the refs were against the chooks for most of the game.

The good old days of criticising refs circa 1985. Shut up Bozo you boofhead.

it was a game of bad decisions all round. jason nightingale tackling in mid air? really? like the blokes on sunday roast argued yesterday. he was above jarod sammut, hes a winger going for the ball off the kick in the oppositions goal area.

Prior to the Gaz head-high that whilst he was on the way down, did have an element of malice, the ref let the Panthers get away with an inordinate amount of being offside. The penalty count could have been a lot worse against the young Panthers who were very tired by this time. They actually played okay and we didn’t deserve to win but IMO on balance we won fairly. We should have won by 20 and our outside backs need a kick in the arse for almost losing it for us late in the game

Penrith's first try came imediately after Nightingale was judged to have tackled Sammut mid air when he was going for the ball.

Why is that decision not being disputed. Penrith got 6 points form that.

That was a far worse call than the others. Clarkey was just trying to even the ledger cause if Saints lost cause of that he would of been crucified.

I don't think Clark was squaring any ledger, he just got a couple right which were in our favour. There's no way known we are going to benefit from any bias from him, he just got a couple right.

C'mon Preach. That was the worst decision I have ever seen. How did Nightingale tackle Sammut when he jumped highest and was clearly going for the ball. That was a huge stuff up. The others were calls from the touch judges.

Was that Clarke who called that or was it the ref?

Were voodoo dolls handed out of him to Dragons supporters at the game with 100 pins each doll. If not see what can be done at the next Dragons game he refs.
