99 was fair and square

God some of these posts are bullshit.

The Waqa no try had no evidence either way. The ref and touchie believed he was held up. No evidence to overturn it.

The Slater no try was iffy and in my opinion a bad call, but we seem to have one like that every game of the year.

If people believe a game like tonights' is awful enough to be the last straw for the NRL's integrity, they haven't been following the game very long...

Exactly.

Storm get favoured people have a winge storm don't get favoured and people have a winge see the logic there

Exactly.

The difference here is that the waqa try is called a try 99 times out of a 100, and therefore the video ref cannot over turn it unless he has unconditional proof it was a no try. Here for the first time this season they went the opposite.
Hayne knew full well what he was doing!

Some posts have been deleted in this thread and PMs sent by the forum admin. It's time consuming keeping this thread above board so we ask that you think before you post. Bottom line is that if you think your post might breach the forum rules, then don't post it. This is a fair warning to anyone who wants to continue along in the same vein. Cheers.

how was the slater try a no-try?

it's been evident from the start that the refs wanted souffs to win, but that decision is a joke.

Easy , a push into Merritt , same as last weeks disallowed try for Farrell when he did a slight push into Rooster player. At least there was consistency in these rulings. however i would rather the game allowed both as the game is a contact sport.

Also Troll, why would refs want Souths to win? Why this season versus last season or any in the past 42 years?:lol:

I remember when the finals series was about miraculous come from behind victories...

about displays of steel & grit..

about when good teams stepped up..

when the quality of football went up a level...




ah.. memories of times past..[/QUOTE

well said! I really wonder what the refs and nrl have planned for the sharks today. With games being predetermined they have little hope of winning!

 

[Nice Beaver]

Get rid of the video refs FFS

PLEASE

Why? The video ref did EXACTLY as he was meant to.

I absolutely despise the Storm but this comp is starting to look decidedly dodgy.

Whoever gets in the GF against Souths (and you can guarantee they will be there) I will cheer my heart out for.

A f*cking SHAM last night. Disgusting.

 

[natheel]

Storm f**ks this comp over for 4 years. They get f**ked over one game and all hell breaks loose. Finally some justice!

I can't speak for others but for me its nothing to do with the Storm and everything to do with the fact the Bunnies are being gifted a number of games. Could care less about the Storm. They are incidental to the real issue.

Roosters, Souths GF.

3 biggest league countries all catered to with their star players involved.

Tri Nations GF, Higher ratings across 3 countries leading to better future deals for NRL.

Nah nothing in it at all.

 

[Glen]

How come nobody has an issue with the Storm standing off side and markers not being set all night?

Because that was only caused by Souths walking off the mark all night. Plus they were constantly jumping early from the 10m

 

[Raider_69]

Apologies to LU mods... But the morning after I am still dumbfounded by what went on last night. It was obvious what was going on. Disgraceful stuff

 

[SaraSassypants]

Precedent was set last Friday night in the interpretation of attacking players interfering with defenders attempting to catch the ball (Farrell on Tupou).

That interpretation was reinforced tonight.

Yeah but last Friday it went against Souths and last night it went with Souths so clearly the NRL is rigged :roll:

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

I've never seen a bigger bunch of sooks in my entire life.

None of the people blowing up even support the Storm. You're all just upset because you can't have your little lol@Souths.

Suck it up you big bunch of 15 year old girls.

 

[SaraSassypants]

So true. These are the same trolls who said Souths will go out in straight sets. If Souths lose = chokers. If Souths win = rigged. What a laugh.

 

[gUt]

What if Souths draw

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Wow I have never seen such a one sided disgusting display by refs and video refs.

I like Souths and hate the storm.

But the storm were given a flogging by the refs while the bunnies got away with blue murder. Absolutely disgusting and tarnished a marquee clash.
