Crichton and Tedesco are constantly questioning the referee , and not in games as hopelessly refereed as Monday. Coincidence that they have massive media presence on Nein and Fox that nothing comes of it, not surprising really.


What about Teddy and Walker? They are both worse than Moses but foe some reason...mOsEs

Simonsson was our top tackle breaker for the game despite playing less than 60 minutes. Also our best outside back tackler on the day. He was a massive loss, and he'll be an even bigger loss this week.
Now the dust has settled Gough had some massive howlers
The strip on Kelly, the strip on Jack Williams over the line, the knock on by tigers winger right near the end of the game which he said back but pulls the ball back into him....plenty plenty plenty of f**k ups
These crucial decisions changed complexion of the game many times over.
In a state to really digest all after 24hours clear thinking prevails
I don't believe it was a sin bin offence but also dont think Russell's was a penalty either. Bad accident. Therefore if as COugh claims duty of care then duty of care also applies to the Simonsson situation.

Gough got dropped for this week..

That knock on also just before halftime where he called it backwards.. he seems like a derp fan that thinks because he is facing his own goal line its not a knock on...

The square up to get the sides at 20 all was pretty bad, there was probably 5 tackles just as bad during the game that didn't get called.

When i checked the nrl app before there was no ref listings...
Another mate also txt me saying Cough has been dropped.
You dont get dropped if u do a good job.
The problem I have with Cough in particular is the way he speaks to players. He speaks quite rudely and abruptly. He comes across as condascending.
He needs to earn respect by softening.
Absolutely no doubt its a tough job.
Ive reffed junior league and soccer matches and its hard work and you're constantly sledged.
Hes obviously risen through the junior ranks but seems immature.
I'm really concerned about the quality of refs ranks.
Thank goodness those garbage ones from last yr haven't featured in 1st grade this yr but one was present in reserve grade yday where they belong and denied parra the opportunity to not take the shot at goal and have the magpies kick off..absolute howler from her as well...
Not sure who is coaching the refs these days but the 6 again rule and the training, coaching and mentoring is leaving a lot to be desired...real massive issues

them and the sin bins are changing the course of the game way to often.

Mitch touched the ref (twice) something you are taught is a Neddy No No in under 6s

Think the NRL handed it pretty fairly tbh.

Tigers were 2 or 3 passes sticking away from blowing the game open.
At sametime if Pezshit doesn't kick on 2nd at 10 - 0 then maybe the Eels do instead.

For me the better side one. Tigers ran for more then 400mtrs extr and missed 30 odd less tackles. Plus Eels scored 2 tries when down to 12 men. Parra was gutsy amd had to deal with injuries. Otherwise maybe win.

But I cant blame ref.
I can blame the ref, as well as some idiotic plays from Pezet for example. That f**king idiot was diabolically bad yesterday. And the NRL though so too by dropping him
