I was on the middle of the hill. She was down on the concourse.
Speaking of which, I think that lady is the mum of someone who used to frequent this board.

I think we should sit back and take notice of the situation. There are so many bad calls in the games of todays no doubt player errupts their anger. No I am not defending Jones - but I am trying to mention that bad calls has become hallmark of the game. If the games are tight couple of bad descisions can turn the game around which is unfair. I think for the tight games we should have good and experienced refs.

Just because the decision was poor doesn't mean they should be allowed to abuse a referee or touch judge. Someone mentioned the two poor calls that went against Willie Mason on the weekend - he copped it and walked away. No bad language, nothing.

Johns has been allowed to carry on like a brat for too long and now this is a direct result of the inaction of his club and the NRL to pull him into line. Magnificient player but he is going a long way for being remembered for his bad behaviour than the skills he possesses.

Mate bad calls have always been part of the game and always will be. As far back as the 76 GF we were done over with bad calls let alone Hartley doing a total job on us in 78 and 79. In fact I would even go so far as to say that as bad as they are refs are still better today than they used to be.

I'll go back further than Hartley.
A referee named Keith Page was the worst ref I have ever seen.
He made Mogsheen Jadwhat look like Bill Harrigan.

Yeah it was Cook, he watched Randall break Higg's jaw and did nothing, they changed the rules regarding scrum penalties after that game but it didn't stop Cook from doing us over again the next year by alowing Reddy to get away with sheer mayhem. f'n c :roll:
