Refereeing inconsistencies

No comment ! 😡

Other than to say that the blatant hypocrisy shown by the media is downright scandalous .

You then have the Storm’s Craig Bellamy calling for sympathy to be shown to yet another one of their back lane thugs in Brandon Smith for his hip - hop tackle on the weekend .

What makes this worse is the coach and the club never say anything against the MRC, Bunker or ref with the obvious bias. They are so tight they don't want to risk a fine or pay any dollars to defend his case. What a mess of a club.

If they do end up with Flanagan I am sure he would be blowing deluxe next season with this treatment. He was never afraid to give a spray and had the ref's eating out of his hands. He did that at the Sharks. They got away with a fair bit. I would sign Flanno just for that alone.

If Sims challenges this he definitely won't get 5 weeks as that means he misses out on a game playing for the Storm.

He will have a blinder of a season next season and will be a clean skin all year. Good move by him to clear his name as the dirtiest player in NRL which he is looking like even though he has done the same if not less high tackles than NAS.

Sims will go through 2023 with no sin bins or suspensions.

Sims and McGuire leaving us in 2023 will mean less minutes playing with 12. Sims has been getting ridiculous with his recklessness of late, despite inconsistencies with others as pointed out on here, it doesn't take away the reality that Sims has been clearly guilty of some bloody stupid plays which have led directly to our downfall in some games. Lets us all down. Lets himself down. Such a bloody waste of his Dragon's years.

McGuire just should never have been thrown a red V.

Agree with what you say about Sims.

I thought McGuire was doing OK until he got injured for the second time this year.

Well that certainly shows one thing , which is that the Storm players are are much ‘ cleaner ‘ breed of player ( in the choir boy class ) than those nasties from the Dragons .
Also the Storm have a much larger bank account than the Big Red V . 😳

It shows how much of a rort the NRL are with the supposed Ricky sanction known by all journos before Ricky and the NRL, apparently before the conclusion of the investigation and then supposedly a decision.
Yeh right, what was there to investigate anyway and get the cast of thousands of NRL admin and journos involved?.
There should be no suspension anyway..fine sufficient.
Oh but the drama why Ricky is still bitter after 12 years to justify what he said gets airtime..please

The NRL and the journos cant keep making this crap up constantly and try and fool us who runs the game.
