Ref Watch 2014 (aka the Skeepe Thread)

[insert.pause]

Bellamy has apparently been cleared for accusing a referee of bias after Sandow was cleared of accusing them of corruption.

Greenberg has to go, the refs job is hard enough as it is and is only made harder when a coach is allowed to get away with publicly questioning their integrity. Greenberg has shown zero support for his own officials and yet expects them to maintain respect on the field. It's absolutely shameful!

Ball touches Jennings on the way down, bounces forward and hits Cordner, bounces back to Jennings and a try results

It was a f**king horrendous call, cost tits the game in the end.

I don't know if the refs cost the Titans the game as they did an awesome job of f**king it up for themselves but 3 calls that came at pivotal moments were the Mortimer knock on call, the SKD no knock on call and the Jennings/Cordner debacle.
Pretty ordinary calls that all lead to points.

Klein has now been axed, so Greenberg is admitting that he was biased against Melbourne?

Is he going to drop every ref which coaches or players label biased against their team, hes certainly not going to fine them for saying it.

There you have it folks, refs better square up the penalty count or they will be dropped.

Greenberg is gutless and doesn't want to get the clubs offside so instead he throws his referees under the bus.

Correct, another Michael Searle

Here's a radical thought...maybe they looked at how Klein refereed the game

He's not biased, it's complete rubbish from a coach and club who have shown they can't handle losing and if Greenberg had any balls whatsoever he would have told Bellamy where to go and fined him, the way he has disowned himself from the referees completely is disgraceful and it's little wonder the refs are gunshy when they are not given the support to do their jobs.

 

[Doomednow]

This is an odd turn of events.

Greenberg blasted Bellamy after he questioned the Sisa Waqa no try (the one where he was ruled to have bounced over the entire in goal area)against canberra. And then fined him after the no show after that contraversial manly game. I think in this case the Storm has presented enough evidence of a poor refereeing performance and Greenberg doesn't have a leg to stand on

I'm hardly surprised. All they ever do is whinge that mob. This is the same club that cried that everyone was out to get them when they got found out for deliberately cheating for years. Bellamy even found a way to make Alex McKinnon's injury about him and used it as an excuse to have another whinge/sob story.

It's a shame a ref has been stood down for having the balls to call them on the shit they've brought into the game.

Teams managed to do it when it was the rule.

You seen the tries wingers score these days? I'm sure they would be fine landing on their stomach after catching a bomb if it meant a guaranteed try.

ashley klown has been stood down this week because he DESERVES to be stood down.All of our teams have had crap referreeing this year and it is about time refs are held accountable.

The go the other way and make it legal to tackle a defender in the air.

That is my issue with it. It is allowed in defence but not attack yet it is equally as dangerous when it goes wrong either way.

Just quit you incompetent fool.

 

[st george dragons]

he is a big fool, indeed!

 

[neeknitsuj]

The real question that should be asked is how did he get the job in the first place?

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Should change his name to Puke Fatten.

Used to play for The Bulldogs. Clearly he's qualified.
