We were our own worst enemies in the 2nd half giving away penalties and making stupid mistakes but that call against Whare was bullshit.

I don't have a problem with the penalty as such but that isn't the way rule has been interpreted all season and it's just typical that they would suddenly start using a differebt interpretation against us with the game on the line and even worse for mine bringing in the bunker out of, what I understand to be their jurisdiction, to do so.

Whare 'block' wasn't a penalty.He was still and just braced himself.Did Atkins seriously think he was just going to move out of the way for the other team?Stupid f***ing idiot.

I watched the game today and thought we played well when we had the ball. The defensive effort today was oustanding can not fault any of our guys. If we had 50 percent possession in the second half we win. Keep defending like that and we will finish in the 8. The attitude is there you don't defend that well if it's not, even if it took half a season to get there. We lost by a penalty goal to an attacking team and had no ball. I'm not happy we lost but i can see this team is heading in the right direction.

Its pretty f**king silly how we are the only team to be penalized for blocking kick chasers and our blocks arent even obvious blocks anyway.

Refs showed that they only make calls when they want to. We were pookr that game, doesnt change the fact it was the referee who changed the result.

7 tackle set to us becomes a Cowboys penalty. Pretty funny time to crack down.

I don't believe games are rigged but that seemed so suspect.

Kikau is getting screwed. Basically he needs game time, so if he can't get that in the firsts put him in the reserves and tell him to work on conditioning. Instead, he gets a handful of minutes at the same point in the game every time, makes a mistake, and gets hooked before really getting to do anything to make up for it. He could be a monster, but he has gone nowhere since he debuted.

Another frustrating loss. Plenty of dumb play in the second half. Poor completion rate killed us.

Must say I thought our defence was really good and if there is a positive then it was the fact we held them out for so long despite virtually handing the game to them.

The penalty call against Dean Whare was a huge moment in the game. For mine it was a terrible decision, he was entitled to stand his ground and he didn't deviate to take Cooper out. Haven't watched a replay of the incident, pointless now, but those that have tell me did the bunker intervene? Be interesting if they did, given they are not supposed too. In my opinion it was clearly the wrong call and certainly changed the course of the game.

Agree with the previous comments about coach Griffins use of our interchange and use (or lack thereof) of Kikau in particular. 11 minutes tonight. Not exactly doing the young blokes confidence any good. He could be such a weapon if used correctly, but can't see that happening any time soon.
