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

[butchmcdick]

If there is any consistency Parkers career is over

 

[TIGER14]

Not just this year.
I'm struggling to think of a worse refereeing performance ever.

 

[Shorty]

Now you people know perfect well Roberts and Parker will NOT get charged.

 

[Mogsheen Jadwat]

Yep, not a broncos hater but f**k yeah they got the rub of the green.

I was at the game through work and i saw the parker incident and straight up said thats a headbutt. For me thats more malicious than the roberts incident where i think 95% of sportsmen would do the same moreso out of frustration than any malice. He'll still have a case to answer for tho imo, but parker will get off for sure.

Brisbane wouldnt have worried anyone with that performance, apart from bennett.

 

[user_nat]

Seemed fine. Good even.

Archer will back the refs performance and say the correct calls were made. A wide eyed Greenburg will say it's all up for review at the end of the year and that the integrity of the game has never been stronger.

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.

I honestly believe Sutton is about around about a bush quality ref ......


.............. if he works at it for a while.

I have never seen an NRL game (that I can remember) officiated any worse and one sided as that semi final tonight.

Phil Gould's criticism of the NRL has been justified, no matter what spin anyone puts on it, after that disgrace tonight.

The NRL supremo must come out and show some balls over this.

Roberts and Parker must miss next week. If not, I can see no reason why players cannot kickeach other in the ruck and headbutt each other every time a scrum is put down.

Let the circus continue tomorrow.

Best of luck to the supporters of the teams that are lucky enough to cop tonight's officials in the coming weeks.

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?

...and it is this very fact that should see Greenburg get his arse in to gear tomorrow to explain what the f**k is going on.

There's match fixing allegations being investigated by the NSW Police and these buffoons are apprising each other of the point spread in the game .... for what reason??????

 

[myrrh ken]

If smith missed a gf over a chicken wing, they should have no excuses rubbing them both out. Particularly parker

 

[carcharias]

It wasn't match fixing
It was just a pathetic bunch of pussy's overawed by the crowd.
They'd already made their minds up before the kick off.

 

[Card Shark]

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.

2nd post

 

[Game_Breaker]

unlike last year, Guerra isn't there to say he got himself into the position to help a fellow origin player out

 

[Cranky]

Easy to penalise Melbourne though. Not so much the Behemoth that is Brisbane.

I have to go almost a decade back for an equally shit performance by a ref. 2006 GF.​

 

[Bobby DIGital]

As a RL fan, the first night of the finals is always a special night irregardless of who's playing. I obviously dislike Brisbane and all they stand for, but I was looking forward to watching a good game of footy on a Friday night. Instead we get that. It's just extremely embarrassing for the game.

We're 4 pages deep, and still we're yet to hear from any Brisbane fans apart from their village idiot and his sparkly bear gif. Even they must be embarrassed by this.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Origin 3

On par.

 

[chigurh]

As I said in the match thread, there was a lot of Titans grubbiness that went unpunished tonight, and I think the reason it went unpunished was because the officials were spooked by the penalty count, no matter how warranted it was.

This reluctance to continually penalise one side if required has gotta be stamped out quick smart because it hurts the more disciplined sides and it could potentially cost someone their spot in the finals.

 

[Pete Cash]

Weird how they missed all the imagined grubbiness but instead decided to penalise the titans for nothing like the oates tackle.

Good call mate. One of your best.

 

[Shorty]

On par.

Except Origin 3 was a 'pity win' for the Blues in a dead rubber.
This was an elimination final.

 

[Diesel]

Greenberg needs to get out there tomorrow and show why he "earnt" the CEO role. I have very little faith in this administration since Dave Smith was shit canned because a few journos didn't like being put in their place

They weren't anymore grubby than any other team.
But keep trying to excuse the blatant calls.
