the refs

[shadowboxer]

After watching last ngihts game withthe tigers and the panthers, i sat in disbelief of how the game played out and then how it finished with a stuff up by the ref.

The whole system is stuffed to be honest. Comment of the night has two winners firstly;

Penrith forward Frank Pritchard admitted "I got away with murder" last night after his knock-on which could have given Wests Tigers a potenial win. He played at the ball and knocked on in the dying stages of the game but clark, ruled play-on and Penrith got possession back 25 metres from their own line.

Interviewed afterwards , Prichard was pretty honest -

"That was a knock-on, man, for sure!"

"That was critical in the game. If the ref gave them them ball, they could have got another set of six on us .

"He said 'play-on', I said 'sweet' .... I got away with murder."


The second winner of the night was clark. "In the aftermath of the incident, a Wests Tigers player could be heard to say to referee Steve Clark "you'll be disappointed in that when you see the video", to which Clark replied "not as disappointed as you're going to be".

Nice commetns from both poitns of view, especially clark who must have had a few pennys on the penny panthers

The ref is copping both barrells over on the NRL forum.

Blind freddy could see that was a knock on......how do three officials miss it??

Also missed off sides galore (consistant at least)

To me Steve Clark is one of the poorer refs. In the Tigers v Panthers game in the last minuted he mist two infringements, both would hav given the tigers an opportunity to get ahead. Its disappointing to see that as well, the result of that game could hav changed so much.

Clark is the worst ref in the game as far as I am concerned. Deadset useless.
