Jonathon Plod out in the open and fails to pass to an unmarked Morgan,Jonathon Plod kicks the ball straight into Mitchell Pearce's hands in the 72nd min instead of getting a repeat set,Jonathon Plod tackled with the ball 80 times on the 5th tackle

The Dally M plodder of the year lost the Cowboys the game not the refs

Cowboys can't lose a final without crying conspiracy, they will spend all week bitching about it and the media won't call them out on it just like last year with the sharks and the 7 tackle try which occurred in the first 20mins or something.

But at least we got to end the drongos season. Which was fun.

Mmm. We saw a grand total of one replay in which vision of Linnett's hand was obstructed by SBW's hand and the ball.

I'm not saying that it was definitely a penalty, but there's way too much doubt for me to blow up over it.

Watch how many replays you get of Souffs f*ck ups in play. Same shit.

I'll listen to it later, but if you're right, I'm not surprised.

I was impressed greatly by Green earlier in the year for how he handled the aftermath of a dodgy call that went against him against Manly. He promptly put a stop to the conspiracy theory bullshit and just laid into the refs for their general incompetence.

He's all class.

It was a knock on. There were a few bad calls both ways but the only real shocker was SKD getting away with the most blatant shepherd since Hodges in origin

The SBW penalty and SKD obstruction were the worst calls of the night.

It was also interesting the refs turning a blind eye to JWH late high shot on Sims & Thurston getting taken out on all he's kicks.

Cowboys have every right to feel dirty bout that game.

LOL Hilarious thread.

You do realise the Cows got a similar strip call when they dropped it cold that led to a try

And they did take Mini out in the air and scored

Could be debated Lui knocked on for his try as it hit his arm and then rolled underneath him

Matt Scotts try wasnt checked when hint of double movement

SBW try ruling overturned with no clear evidence to do so ( I thought that was the rule??)

Cowboys lying all over the Roosters all night with no penalty

But hey there is a conspiracy and the Roosters are always favoured :)

Green served his coaching apprenticeship under Trent Robinson. It's not surprising that he's classy

Lol I think the plodder call of the day has to be ignoring the blatant shepherd/obstruction. Jesus that was bad, the refs are f**king pissweak. They all saw it but didn't have the balls to call it.
I agree. That was a f**king disgrace.

The referees adjudicate according to the game situation. They didn't call that a shepherd because the game was close.

Equally they didn't care that the Cowboys scored off the most blatant forward pass ever because they were behind 30-6. And rhe midair tackle on Mini was at 30-12.

Shocking calls got the Cowboys back into it.

Shocking calls then kept us in it.

Then, finally! A correct call won us the game.
