This reall needs to be questioned sent further. Players were missing games for touching refs last year. This is clearly a bad look on the game and shows they were defiantly against us this game.

Good point! so nrl like isn’t it... even yesterday’s taboo rule is always old news a few months later
Hmmmmm... I am usually the first to say the refs aren't corrupt. I usually put their mistakes down to human error, poor judgement, laziness, stupidity, lack of awareness etc.
But I can't defend this. I am at a loss. This is disgusting. I hope they come out and explain it because I love my footy and this is hurts.
No matter what reasons the NRL give for this incident, none of them are of a professional nature!
Officials should be made to identify players by number only, as well. Total garbage to expect to be called Sir after approaching a player with "Ay Clinton!" An exception would be the Captain.
Hi fiving, low fiving, secret handshakes, winking, etc. between officials and players is absurd! I'm all for the ban on players touching officials but why the double standards here?
Also bullshit is the coaching some players receive during play! Statements like "you've been offside the last 3 tackles" or "I won't warn you again" is hard to hear when we're behind! The refs counting penalties and discussing on-field performance is another joke!
"3P man Id blocked that period Steve Sharp, Ray spagnolo, Paulo Osbourne, et al .....I remember some on here going balistic on this group lol. wonder if Stevie picked up the tools again after.......3P was just old boys sniffing around for a payment…"
"Kelma, contracted to end of 2026? If we imagine Su'A is going to be starting right edge backrow, Tuilagi and Williams would be ranked 2 & 3 in line after Su'A? And Williams can play middle. So isn't the question really one of what is thought of as…"

It certainly makes you wonder........
Nice Professional look from an Un-Professional organisation.
Todd Greenburg will brush it under the carpet and pretend as if he never saw it.

Pretty sure Brisbane got warned 3 times last night that if they gave another penalty someone would be binned.
