[Belly in Brisvegas]

I am going to be needing to be drinking heavily Friday night.

 

[Bazal]

Oh f**k.....

 

[strider]

i love tony archer and bill harrigan

 

[Ron Jeremy]

I dont mind Bill actually?

 

[CrazyEel]

i love tony archer and bill harrigan

Apart from considering both to be nefarious, heart-sickening unfortunate occurrences of unprotected intercourse and coma-inducing proof that evolution can go in reverse I don't like them.

 

[strider]

I dont mind Bill actually?

tbh - i think bill goes ok as a video ref - but he's still a total prick .... put him infront of a camera and his ego gets the better of him


and i wish i knew what "nefarious" meant :lol:

 

[Ron Jeremy]

true, as a vid ref he goes better then the others

 

[Bazal]

Apart from considering both to be nefarious, heart-sickening unfortunate occurrences of unprotected intercourse and coma-inducing proof that evolution can go in reverse I don't like them.

Also Archer does his hair with the left over fat from a hard day's frying at McDonalds...

Baz, you are a cruel man :lol:

 

[sportsmad]

fair dinkum, (there's no american air hostess' out there i hope) do these guys get drawn out of a hat????? :crazy: still,at least we didn't get Clarky.

interesting to see how many video ref decisions will go our way

 

[Bazal]

I do my best...

 

[Eelectrica]

Our game against Melbourne deserves the best ref in the game, and it ain't Archer.
IMHO Hampster is the best at the moment.

None of 'em are perfect, but no one is and I think we can accept that, but some a less perfect than others.

 

[Kornstar]

They are all as bad as each other, did you see that joke of a ref that cost the Panthers the game last night? Faumuina should have been sent, pathetic performance yet again!!!

 

[Eelectrica]

Yep should have been sent for sure, couldn't believe he stayed on for that.

Although the Panthers should have been able to hold onto a 10 point lead with 5 to go. Can't really blame the ref for the Panthers inability to take a short kickoff. Ref didn't swallow Bowen's dummy either.

 

[scottyeel]

I hate Clark with a passion when he refs us, but I was really hoping we would get him this week.

 

[eeladdick]

I had a good feeling about friday night,
But
unfortunatly that is one combination we can't beat...archer and Harrigan

 

[Parra R 4 Me]

What no Jason Robinson, what a bummer. Well another week for the ref's to look at every angle to not award us the try.

 

[Dutchy]

Look on the bright side. Hayne can run behind Hindmarsh, impede the defence, and still get a try out of it

Bite Parra Bite

 

[strider]

*bites*

or we can drop the ball scoring a try and still get given it .... no, hang on, that only works for steve menzies
