I know you can challenge structured restarts and or during a stoppage in play but that was confusing.

NRL saying he blew his whistle but didn't call full time.- mmm blow that whistle ref

Seemed to me the ref was holding off calling full time to enable the Cows to challenge. - waiting for them to challenge so he can flick it to the bunker to make the decision.

They still technically shouldn’t have been allowed to challenge, it’s their own rule

honestly If he awarded a penalty live, then we challenged and lost it I’d be shitty but just be like ‘bunker gunna bunker’

But to lose it this way is much, much worse. Plus I haven’t even touched on them ruling time off too quickly on Doeuihis conversion

Is it supposed to be a minute and a half? How long did AD get?

Love the passion of James Graham on here.

and comments by Gould, Ginnane, Riccio, Chammas, Callander & Smith.
People who have had more direct involvement in the game (compared to us fans), the NRL cannot hide from this.

V'landys perhaps can sack them all and then go off to his Bruno Mars concert, sorry, I meant go off and watch The Everest.

Funny how Ashley Klown didn’t see the Tom Dearden Eye Gouge incident from his Ivory Tower but he saw the non escort.

What’s everyone view on the Eye Gouge incident?

WT should take action in the courts. If nrl going nothing on this take it to court along with the rip off ending. Occupational health and safety breach in not caring for players well being on the field?

^^^^ Is that you Leigh ?

Quote from our chairman below
i have spoken to Peter V’landys and Andrew Abdo and expressed my concerns in the strongest possible terms. We are considering all options available to us, including any legal options that may be available to us to challenge the decision that led to the ultimate result.

“We owe it to our fans and members and also to our players to ensure we voice these concerns in the strongest possible terms.”

I am embarrassed to support a club who would appoint this bloke to run the club

It’s was a shit call but we need to move on nothings gonna change and we’ll still cop the spoon this year. Focus needs to be on improving the team not the distraction of being ripped off in a game that doesn’t really mean anything to us. The hierarchy whinging is just a distraction to take the heat off them and their questionable decisions with recruitment, retention and sacking the coach

Think back to the start of the season when Payton blasted the refs because the lower teams do not get the 50/50 calls going their way, it started the great run by the cowboys.
We may get no joy here but yes this could be our version of what Payton did.. The longer and louder this drama goes this week , at least in future the ref will have second thoughts

PS .. With that form I can’t see us getting the spoon but Gardner needs to coach.. ..Did Kimmorly sign anything

No one will remember this game by next season, it’s all about getting the points
We have played a few good games this season, but we have no consistency, once we work that out we be fine.
IMO, it’s the players with most not giving a shit?
