Well done refs!!! (after game one)

[Wizardman]

A big well done and welcome surprise to see how the game was reffed tonight.

The game actually FLOWED and the refs absolutely ignored the the niggle penalties that don't affect the outcome of a game of rugby league. The only penalties that were called were ones that needed to be called to allow for a game to flow well.

A big well done refs!

Yeah, nah, get f**ked.

 

[Wizardman]

Yeah, nah, get f**ked.

You must be a bronco fan...lol

 

[Perth Red]

Deciding not to penalise broncos regular leg pulling in the tackle was an interesting one.

 

[Generalzod]

The game flowed phew!!! It was boring

 

[Someguy]

The stand out for me was when Munster was standing held by two players, refs called held 3 times before Gillett came barreling in to bring down the pile.

The low was Melbournes second penalty Brisbane who were offside were only called due to a storm error.

But overall a well reffed game that wasn’t a stop start snoozefest like early last season, interestingly players actually kicked for touch a few times to get a breather that was never needed last season

Agreed, I turned it off.

 

[Sphagnum]

Agreed, I turned it off.

I didn't even watch it

 

[MilkShark]

I didn't even watch it

Understandable, there is only so much Storms and Broncos I can watch in one season, and that amount has already been exceeded.

 

[Mr Angry]

Well now that the players know the refs are keeping it in the pocket.

Wrestlemania begins.

 

[OzDragon]

I'm just happy they didnt reward the many, many instances of milking.

My lol moment was the non-call of the Bromwich knock on in the 4th minute.

Every season we get fooled into thinking refereeing will get better only to end up disappointed after 8 or 9 weeks.

It was against Melbourne so let's just chalk that up to karma.

The one that went backwards in the lead up to the try by Hughes?

Telling players they can get away with this stuff is not a great start...

By week 5 EVERYONE will be doing it.

Scrums are still really slow to pack

Yup. Knock on.

 

[moffla]

Yup. Knock on.

The knock back was a knock on?

Refs still got no balls. Lodge should have got 10 in the bin at least for the attack on Munster's legs.
Late and deliberate with no attempt to pull out or mitigate.
