very, very unlucky. this is what the 4th game where youve been f**ked by dodgy decisions?

penrith were abysmal

I think those decision late were crap! And unfortunately added unnessicary controversy.. All in all though (I hate to say it) a fitting result...

I don't think Penrith were abysmal at all. Wests Tigers played with plenty of enthusiasm and determination and basically only allowed Penrith to play as well as they did. It was tight and exciting. They looked classier and more structured in attack, The Tigers still lack team cohesion, fluency in attack, (is there a game plan?) and suffer from poor last tackle options. Once again the odd couple of decisions go against Wests, but, then you must realise they also shot themselves in the foot on a number of occasions as well. They had their chances, then they had their opportunities taken away. that's the way the ball bounces, that's Rugby League.

Not only dont we win on a friday but we usually never play on a friday either.In one of the sets of 6, I think Prince was the 5th tackle and our other option was Fitzy,he received the ball and did sweet F.A with it.But that Prince, :D does he have that ball on a string or what???????????

yeah true......But the amount of great preccission kicks on a constant basis was great.Im Still spewing about that last passage of play where the ref & touchy's missed that pathetic intercept where the ball was knocked on.We may have still had an opportunity for 1 tackle and then put up the bomb and well.......who knows.......and I guess we never will!

Referee Steve Clark, on the advice of his touch judges, decided Pritchard did not intend to touch the ball, ruled play-on and Penrith got possession back 25 metres from their own line.

Interviewed afterwards , Prichard left little doubt what his intention had been.

"That was a knock-on, man, for sure!" the 20-year-old, who only found out he was playing first grade at 10am yesterday as a replacement for the injured Tony Puletua (hip), told the Herald.


"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."

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".

no doubt there


seeing as our club is not going to raise their voice about our tretment with 50/50 calls and 70-80min calls,i'm going to start hounding the media until they do a story about this and put some pressure on refs to start giving the lower teams a fair go.

why bother having a salary cap if you are going to ref games in the advantage of the top teams.
the games may be closer,but the results are still the same regardless of who is the better team on the day.

How about Clark ruling a forward pass against us in the first half - Result Penrith Try

Near the end Amos Roberts makes a tackle in a blatantly offside position,Clark does nothing denying us the chance to make it 22 all.

And of Course Pritchard ruled not to have played at the ball denying us another set of six at the death.

Also a lot of 50/50 calls went against us.Dudded again. :roll:

Clark went fine. A pretty fair share of the 50/50's went the Tigers way. The first two penalties of the game where bought for bargain basement prices by Duff, and I think Bryce. And what about the one you bought when it was Prince pushing his own player in the back? :roll:

Yeah Clark missed a couple of things, but all but the last two didn't matter as the video got the right (or near enough to the right) result.

On the last two, the Tigers only had the ball because Rodney spilled it getting up to play the ball with a Tiger yanking on his ankle. It should have been a Panther penalty and they would have been another 30 yrds up field with 6 tackles.

And on 50/50's what do you call Galea's try? He couldn't have got more than a bee's on the line. If Clark was out to get you he could have just ruled play the ball and no one could ever say he wasn't entitled to.

The Tiges did well and bustled the Panthers into a less than perfect game, but their own mistakes cost them the game in the end, not anything the officials missed.

Clark had his finger on the trigger all night.Gave away plenty of soft penalties all night,especially in the ruck area.......

BUT....the crucial errors seemed to fall Penrith's way....the SUPPOSED forward pass from Galea to Buckets really riled me as Penrith must have done about 20 during the game.

And dont tell me that Roberst coming back onside wasnt a penalty?????And it didnt cost us.The bloke shoul have been binned.Clearly offside and halted us when we looked good things,at least a penalty and it could have been 22 all.

Sure enough,our own mistakes have cost us,but we are not good enough to add the USUAL 2/3 dud decsions poer game that f**k us up...............

Clark went fine????? You gotta be joking...get some objectivity...I can see you tried, just to even out you post somewhat, but the penalties you mention at first happen in every game...funny you didnt mention gowies 'milked' one that eventuated in their first try.
The other incidents you mention also occur in every single game.

On Galeas try....he clearly got it on the stripe then was dragged back.

Clark missed a "couple of things" you reckon...but they didnt matter????
|No!...only denied WT's a rightful opportunity to get another two shots at them when two points down with a matter of minutes remaining......no, youre right, they didnt matter...incosequential really.

Im actually surprised you watched the game....thought I read somewhere once youd never watch a JV game :?: , glad to see it was obviously thru those anti JV glasses though. :lol:
Thanks for the support !!!

You're kidding yourself. I agree the forward pass wasn't, but heaps that were weren't called. Gower milked penalties, Bryce milked penalties, everyone milked penalties.

To simply look at one or two decisions without going through every single one all game is BS. Why is a decision in the last minute more important than the first? Clark did go well. He got in early, pinged both sides and took control. He kept both sides back fairly well, and that produced a good open game. The 50/50's even out over the course of the whole game. Ink you and I have followed Wests to know from bitter memory what being dudded by a referee is like. Last night wasn't even close.

Galea didn't clearly get anything on the stripe. From the camera angle it is simply impossible to say. Only a direct along the line angle can give you any chance - it's called parallax error. Just because it may look it from an angle don't mean it is.

You lost - deal with it. I don't give a f*ck one way or the other. I watched the game pretty dispassionately. I like watching the Pennies go round, but equally I like to see guys like Boof and Bryce doing well. I'd have been delighted to see Duff win the game for you with his try, but he didn't, and the reason has far more to do with the Tigers continuing failings than with anything Clark did or didn't do.

Is this like the other thread where you had me off on some sort of fantasy for pointing out that Reynolds played Premiers for Balmain?

You really do have a powerful talent there. Your ability to read minds could be dangerous in the hands of someone less ethical that yourself. Thankfully for the safety of the world you only choose to use it to probe my mind for the hidden anti-Tiger evil intent of my threads. :roll: :roll: :roll:

We can all sleep much safer knowing you're on the job Ink ;-)
