TLT vs. Raiders

[Birdee_Num_Num]

I definitely thought it was more than that

He gets scheduled when it counts robo.

Key games, bring in the mercenaries.

Finals time, jockeying for position.. he'll keep a lid on us.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

I think most of them are f**kn hopeless these days and I put it down to the insane rhetoric that all of the rules need to be black and white.

Sport isn’t played that way and the referees have lost all of their adjudicating skills they honed in through time spent going through the grades. Once they hit the NRL they become game massagers who have video referral fallbacks.

May as well be robots.

However, how Klein is considered one of the top referees in the game is an absolute laughing matter.

They cannot let a game flow, that's another reason I hate them. If there's not a penalty for about 7 or 8 minutes you know one is coming very soon for absolutely nothing.

The red headed Canberra git found guilty. 4 weeks

He reminds me of the dude out of the burbs

 

[R-15-3]

HorseShit and Papa always play well against us.

Listen to James Graham’s podcast interview with Bill Harrigan…

He is super-critical of referees who have no ‘feel for the game’…

Cracking movie regardless

I think we have actually. And yes Klopecs. Love the movie

 

[Mr Angry]

I personally never care who the ref is. If you are a better team, a couple of calls against mean nothing.

Refs like players get Shyte wrong.

As for Klein seems he is considered by the NRL one of the most senior. Hence as our last few games have been top eight deciding, he has been appointed.

But hey, complain away, this is not a compliant.


This is.

f**k off to France Moylan.

Give Iro a run Fitz.

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

How moylan gets a run geezus

 

[Marchad]

So we had them round 3 against us just Klein was in the field.

How come we get the worst male pairing 4 times this year

All depends on the way you see it. If you’re an opposition supporter they’re the best paring in the NRL.

One of the big problems with the refs nowadays is that there’s far too much ‘coaching’ of the players by the refs during the game. All this BS about dominant tackles and ‘release’, and ‘not square’ calls…. Just ref what you see - if they’re offside, ping them, if they’re not square, ping them, if they’re holding down, ping them…..
They end up getting manipulated/played by the players and the coaches, because they’re scared to death of penalising the shit out of teams, so teams know they can push the limits.
Throw in adding the bunker as a fall back, and nowadays they rarely make a decision based on their gut feel, so they’ve lost that natural instinct of seeing something happen and making a call….

He was the best ref I have seen.
Ceechin was actually quiet good as well.
Certain times you need to penalise just to get it to flow, but some of the ones now, I shake my head no idea how they come up with it..
More technology there is worse the refs get, they sweat on decision to be fixed for them

 

[roboshark]

Mander was OK too

 

[Peach & Apricot]

We had a pretty good record playing under Matt Cecchin.

Shayne Hayne will forever be the worst referee in NRL history. Wish I had had the time to give him a piece of my mind when I saw him in the Qantas Club around 2006 or so.

He was arrogant.
He was who we had in the Parra shambles match.
He used to play touch footy as well, apparently a d*CK there.
He believed he was the heir apparent to Harrigan, the fake tan.
How the NRL even let him ref first grade was beyond me.
I know it is policital, always has been, but he was a joke as a ref.
I used to know Greg Hartley, not a fav in here but nicest guy off the field

Cheat on it. Ever ask him what that GF was worth

 

[Quigs]

Grub of a thing that I will never forgive

 

[Frenzy.]

Bruyeres, Page, Holman, Danzey, Cook, Donnie McDonald

Real refs from the 70s. We knew their names but they were almost anonymous. No one ever knew a touchies name. Got no press. No fanfare. Just reffed games.

You could imagine when they said to one of those refs you have silver tails vs fibros lol

 

[Quigs]

Boyhood memories of those old over weight touchies sprinting out from behind the goal posts after a conversion. Their beerguts bouncing as the crowds went into raptures, egging the pricks as they made their way along the sideline.
