I think on the whole, the Titans still didn't deserve to win. Pretty hard to get out of a hole when the refs are set so hard against you though.

Thought the Titans looked pretty good until Taylor got injured. They were a bit all over the shop after that but weren't given a fair go either.
Its also spilled over into social media and at least two other media outlets.
Just thought I'd continue the trend of this thread.
The channel 9 over-reaction about the Broncos has spilled over to LU! What are the odds?
As a Broncos fan, I'll happily admit that we got the rub of the green last night, in particular, the calls re. the Roberts kick and Oates penalty were flat out wrong. Some points though:
- On the overturn of the knock on call early in the game, I am fairly certain the ref asked the bunker to take a look at it (happy to be corrected if not the case).
- Haynes pass was 50/50. In saying that, I thought the short ball he popped to McQueen in the lead up to the try they scored just before halftime was slightly forward.
- On the refs saying only 12 points in it. Personally I think people are overreacting to this rather severely (and venturing well into tinfoil territory). I see it as him saying that the game is still close and to remain watchful. A poor choice of words perhaps given the allegations over recent days, but much more innocent than what people are suggesting here.
So many people in this thread completely missed the point.
It's not about Titans deserving a win, or the fact Titans have got some kind of special treatment in the past, or that people hate Brisbane and are just having a whinge - it's about fairness and sub-standard officiating in the best time of year to watch footy, when they have enough officials and enough intrusive technology to get it right (or at least review it). Any fan of any team can clearly see how ridiculous the game was as it went on. If you can't you're f**king blind.
I can't believe the level of delusion Broncos fans have.
It's their job to remain watchful. If they aren't working with that edict then why the f**k are they there? FFS. Surely they don't need reminding at this level, otherwise piss off to the bush.
Heads need to roll over that comment.
