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.
People do have a nasty habit of having a go at the refs skeepe style in here. Sure some calls are questionable but it does make a lot of gameday threads boring.

I don't get the Souths hate. Storm, Manly and Roosters are much more deserving of hatred than Souths in my book.

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.

What blue murder did Souths get away with?

And honestly I couldn't care less if the Storm got penalised every tackle for a season against any team. After how they f**ked over every other NRL team they deserve it. f**k em. And that's not even counting all the shit wrestling tactics they've brought into the game that has made so many games frustrating to watch.

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!

No it isn't. You just made that up.

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

Because Storm have been getting away with bending the rules and dirty tactics so long it's become normal.

It's the 2nd time in 4 weeks one of those calls has gone to Souths. Matai called no try in the Manly game. Same thing, no doubt it was a try but no evidence to overrule.

Funny that Craig Bellamy and Cam Smith had no problems with the refereeing but the LU experts are going nuts.

LU knows best.

u don't reakon..i reakon they were spewing...they were just being professional in the presser...but u could read between the lines

But they know Storm lost the game because of their first half-slow start and too many errors

Storm need to play better than that.

But fk me in a final u would hope the refs could do better as well

Hopefully Storm can lift next week

Because Bellamy needs his team to play better and isn't Ricky who would look to any excuse for a loss. Doesn't change the fact that two crucial calls both went Sth's way.

One small fact overlooked in the Slater no try ruling....apart from the fact that Goodwin forced Chambers to crash into Merrit, Nathan Merrit still had every chance to catch that ball with both arms. He chose to throw just one hand out at the ball. Not sure how he expected to catch it with just one hand, but his stupidity and uselessness as a player these days should have not been rewarded like it was.

All the favourites will win this week...Unfortunately the Knights will be robbed tomorrow as well. Seems like a pattern happening.

It's a shame now that two games have now been decided by the refs, not the players..

Next year I'm supporting the refs instead.

Totally agree with you baron except I am a passionate Storm member and I don`t mind the wabbits..It did spoil a marquee clash.
the ref made mistakes in the sharks/cowboys game.
