Round 23 V Cowboys

[TheFrog]

You haven't taken into account that the ref will run us.

Checcin is pretty good. The best they've got. There is a reason he doesn't do Grand Finals and Origin anymore and it has nothing to do with ability.

Well damn we agree on something!

 

[Dave's mate]

Yeah I agree with that

 

[TheFrog]

Well damn we agree on something!

We agree on an awful lot I'd have thought but I think we've had some rough deals from the refs this year (and not only this year) and you don't.

I think the Warriors game in NZ was absolutely a stitch up. We got done badly but still won

 

[Sime_11]

Cows will beat us, we've slipped back into our early season form, 50 missed tackles again... Cows will be licking their lips...

I also think we have had some rough deals with refs this year but so has just about every other team in the comp, no more or less than us. Over a year I think all the good and bad calls even themselves out but it’s seems to be an obsession with some to blame refs. 9 out of 10 times we lose is because we constantly drop the ball, keep missing tackles and giving away dumb penalties.

Have you told your wives?

Have you told your wives?

Yeah she just said only Panthers people and certainly no Queenslanders.

Okay, I will bite. There is absolutely no fking way calls have evened out for us this year. That is ridiculous.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

We've had calls go our way all year at different times. The Broncos game we got it by a long way. It's just an easy way out to blame the refs.

This. I will blame the refs when we do the rest well. 60% completion rates and 40 missed tackle games don't leave room to blame refs

Something lighthearted before the weekend of footy:

 

[TheEroticGamer]

Saying we’ve been shit and referees have been disproportionately shit for us this year aren’t contradicting things to say.

We’ve had several of those Brisbane games go against us this year(titans away, Souths home, sharks away), we’ve had far more wrong bunker calls go against us than vice versa.

I like you OP but this nonsense seems like an attempt at a perception of unbiased rather than being unbiased inherently.

 

[age.s]

The Souths home game was bullshit. I remember thinking the Sharks game was fine. I don't remember too much about Titans in GC (must be a trauma injury, can't believe we lost to that rabble).

You might have missed my comment saying our game against the Warriors was a complete stitch up. We got completely screwed that game but still won thanks to Naden getting a few tries. Especially that 70m - 80m try. I can admit when I think we have it bad.
