Is that the most one-sided refereeing performance you've seen this year?

Ok I know I said Friday's game was the worst I've ever seen, and that includes bush footy.

But just in the nick of time a new contender stormed in. Group 4 grand final has probably taken the title after only two days. Have a look on YouTube if you like. Jesus. The spooky thing is, the Suttons are former Group 4 refs.

Do you Broncos fans honestly not see how your club is given, and has been given, consistent advantages and benefits over every other team in the competition?

Considering the advantages you get, surely you can understand the problem that fans have when you get such favourable treatment from referees in such a big game?

Seriously. The refs made your job of winning the match just that much easier.

If I could be bothered, I'd love to go through the threads in the Origin forum for game 3 and see how many of you pissed and moaned about the favourable treatment the blues received. Then amplify it if it were a series decider.

One of my good friends is a Broncos fan - I got the following text message from him on Saturday morning

"Great to see the money I slipped the refs paid off"

Followed by

"I can't see us beating anyone else without similar referee assistance"

IBM - Stop defending the indefensible and just accept the fact that your team was the beneficiary of some very dubious calls. It's OK to admit when things go your way. It's not a crime. It happens to many teams. Seriously claiming the sky is green when everyone can see it's blue doesn't make us all say "oh yeah, the sky is green" it makes us think "f**k me, we've got a right one here"

The Broncos are a small but proud club in the midst of its longest premiership drought in history. We suffer from having to play a lot of Friday nights which keeps our crowds down to only 25-30k most weeks.

The players are under a lot of pressure having to live and work in the Brisbane fishbowl and they desperately want to see another Brisbane team introduced to help carry that weight of expectation.

Add to that, the media is obsessed with every innocent little thing the players do in their spare time. This is something the Sydney clubs just do not have to put up with.

Lastly we have to compete in a small market against the most popular club in the NRL plus the defending premiers. The Titans are owned by the NRL and are given wonderful players from other clubs as soon as they become available, eg Chris McQueen. Not to mention, they poach our brightest players such as Jarrod Wallace.

How about you take off the blinkers and recognise if we get the occasional bad call going our way all it's doing is going some way to redress the imbalances we have always had to put up with.

If you don't like it, join the minority of sports fans and don't watch our games.
