Of course you can. Just some people refuse to, because one of their eyes is firmly sewn shut.

Rant away....
Come on Baz, they score two dodgy tries and we get a fair one disallowed.

Let alone the bogus penalty from that merkin Slater.

2009 GF all over again.

My mates said at HT you got dis and I told them we can win if we get a fair go. We didn't, 6-1 penalty count and 8 points off dodgy refs calls. But go on blame our discipline and us.

Cummins has always been a home town harry, who knew he would f**k us.

Lol. Cranky strider.

I'm not unbiased. I just hate losing because WE f**ked up and I hate the cliche, "refs cheated" cop out.

The refs were the same as they are every fking week. They were shit....they didn't cost us the game.
We lost by 2, 2 dodgy tries, a Bs penalty and a fair disallowed for us says otherwise.

Who says they come into a game with a mindset?
I just think they are incompetent.

There is definitely a mindset, in my opinion. Bill Harrigan and his tip sheets made sure of that. If you are deliberately looking for something to penalise it isn't hard to find it and it becomes a self-fulfilling cycle.

So it wasn't forward?

I think it was forward.

I also think that it went so little distance before Auva'a touched it that it's tough for the officials to rule it that way.

Mostly I think it's irrelevant. WE LED 10-4 AT HALFTIME. After they awarded that try. How on earth can you blame it for the loss? We were in front well after it happened.

But fans will say "Oh we lost by two points and that four points means we should have won by two hurr durr."

Doesn't work like that, sorry.

I would argue every team plays a bit of dumb footy, some get punished more than others for it. But you can bet your arse BA will be focusing on us and not the refs, at least in public.
Absolutely ... we made some dumb decisions and a few mistakes that were costly ... i love that BA has no excuses

But if i see obvious favouritism then im gonna f**king say it ... f**k everyones eyes

With 10 or so to go, semi was tackled and it took ages for the storm to get off him. That was a penalty any day of the week.

To me that decision was based on the ref being to scared to potentially change the result.

I love you like a brother Baz but get f**ked.

8 dodgy points and a 6-1 penalty count and we still lose by 2????

Come on mate we were raped in the arse pure and simple.

We should change our name to the Ned Beatty Parramatta Eels.

Can someone at Fox correct their erroneous graphic that showed roosters and Broncs still on the same side of the finals. Also melb and Parra swap sides now.

I don't believe that.
If the ref's had a mindset and were looking for things to penalise, the Storm would be penalised out of every single game. They aren't.
I'll say it again.
The ref's are just incompetent.
