It is a shame, the controversy around the match officials, overshadowed what was a terrific game of footy.
I think we, on balance given we created more try scoring opportunities including the two or three no try rulings, suggests we were deserving of winning in the end.
I agree the decision late in the game, to stop play for the Mitch Kenny injury, is something the NRL needs to address. While we have been punished for it on this occasion, and rightfully so, it is a tactic deployed by all teams in most games. It is not as if it is a unique occurrence, been happening for a long time now. We were on the other end in a big semi final game against the Broncos during the Griffin era and it cost us. You see players feigning cramp late in games every game, every week to facilitate a stoppage.
it is an issue which should be addressed by the NRL but it has been confined to the too hard basket, for a long time now so it is a little unfortunate we are being hung out to dry as if we are the only team guilty of such a pushing if the boundaries.
