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

Even the reasoning behind the no rule on the kick from the bunker was f**ked, it was in the play the ball FFS.

The biggest momentum killer was Hayne dropping the ball straight after half time, went from a 2 point lead to not touching the ball for 6 minutes and being down by 10.

But every time they built some momentum the refs f**ked them.

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.

Warriors v tigers 2011 beats this in the ref stakes, although this was pretty atrocious.

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.

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.

and you lose your playmaker and you let a Centre play Fullback

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 wouldn't wish that reffing from last night on Saints, Tigers, Manly, Bulldogs or the Roosters.

And I f**king hate the lot of yers.

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?
Its also spilled over into social media and at least two other media outlets.
The fact that every other person except Broncos fans dont think this game was fairly called should tell you something.

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.

I am pretty sure 80% of people would acknowledge the officiating was sub-standard

That ref looked liked he'd just eaten s shit sandwich after penalising the Titans after that bomb.
One of the most blatant f**k ups by a ref I think I've ever seen.

I know that. I made the point as a counter to the people on here suggesting match fixing from officials.
