After the Grand Final last night I was talking with some mates about games we'd lost by referee howlers. A few that instantly sprang to mind:
* Losing twice in golden point by penalties for markers being offside
* Three games this year we lost by a try, Anneslly admitted all games the opposition scored a try that shouldn't have been allowed, in fact in the Roosters game he said two shouldn't have been
* Losing when the Broncos scored a try with 14 players on the field, they were docked the 2 points, we get nothing. We missed the semis by 1 point
* Jeremy Smith not being penalised for knees into Tuqiri in 2010 semi with 5 minutes to go, Soward kicked field goal next set. Was charged by MRC the next day
* Going further back a game in 2004 when Matt Utai blatantly knocked on off the kick off, not called, he makes a 60m break, Dogs score next play, we lose by 4. Knock on can't be checked as a tackle had occured
* For the Balmain fans we all remember the ridiculous Bruce Maguire penalty in 89
There were others mentioned, such as a game in Canberra where we lost the penalty count 15-3 and Steve Clarke was dropped the next week. When we copped 8 straight peanlties against us v the Broncos at Campbelltown and the bogan ran on the field to tackle Jarred Maxwell (who was also dropped the next week). However ones that like are more just copping shit, not a game defining howler.
Anyways it then got asked if we've ever WON a game off the back of one. None of us could think of one. Now I totally get that we're all biased Tigers fans on here and either just can't remember them or if there is one think it was correct. However can anyone think of one? I do rememeber the Leichhardt Monday night game v the Knights when Robbie kicked the field goal in golden point, replays showed Heighington who played the ball take out the marker out, apart from that (and even thats debateable) I'm coming up blank
