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

Never seen anything quite like that tonight. Really disappointing for a semi final, I hope these officials don't see another.

I've seen poorly officiated games but it's never this bad.
The ref claims he 'didn't see' the Roberts kick....which in itself is ludicrous but a previous knock on call is overturned when its looked at again!
And the discussion on the points scored between the refs.....its disappointing,

Initial post edited by mods due to unacceptable content, my apologies, I have no desire to break the rules.

All I will say is that I found tonight's refereeing display to be of a deplorable and unacceptable quality.

Oh yeah, first post too. Nice to be here sports fans.

Wow I missed the headbutt. I've got no idea how they missed the Roberts kick the bunker should have picked it up, Sutton said he thought Roberts leg was being held.

I watch a lot of park footy and often times the single ref is are overawed kids trying to ref grown men as no better option is available.

I've still never seen a performance as inept as from the entire team of officials tonight.

Signed up just to vent on tonights refereeing..
With out a doubt, it was the worst game I have watched all season, and I have seen some very suspect games this year, but the deal breaker for me was the comment after Titans last try, "only 12 points difference Badge "
Who the hell said it and why do referees need to be updated on the score, has somebody backed the broncs at 13+...
Why is the score important to the refs?

You could tell it was going to be a difficult night for the Titans when there was a chummy handshake and banter between Sutton and Parker before the game kicked off.

That was one of the few games I've watched where I felt that something just wasn't right.

As in it was beyond incompetence.

The reffing was so one sided that it made uneasy viewing.

Sort of like Game 6 of the 2002 NBA Finals where the refs fixed the result in favour of the Lakers over the Sacramento Kings. It had that kind of stench about it tonight.
