To Tod Greenberg.
I understand that there are issues with junior league & the treatment of junior refs by some of the bone head parents out there, However the NRL is not junior league, It doesn't even have the same rules so it should not be treated like Junior league. Fans of league are not so stupid that we don't understand the difference. It is a multi Billion dollar game, NRL refs are not paid $80 a game, In fact they earn a lot more than most of us do, They don't work a full time job like junior refs as this is their full time gig, They have access to a multi million dollar video system ( The Bunker ) Yet somehow they get so many decisions wrong. The Commentators, the fans & ex players don't agree with their calls but they just continuously get the calls wrong with absolutely no repercussions ( Just don't say anything if you are a coach because that's when you will see repercussions). How do I get work conditions like that. I have to wonder why they see things differently to the rest of us. It can't be that no one but the refs understand the rules so why do certain teams always seem to end up on the wrong side of 50/50 calls. It's not all about penalty counts either because I have seen multiple occasions when a team is getting smashed in the penalty count only to get 3 or 4 penalties on the first tackle 10 metre's out from the opposition try line meaning they get no field position advantage & just one extra tackle. It's all about where & when that makes the difference. This is how they control the outcome of games.
Everyone has the right to their opinion & mine is that the NRL & refs are cheating. Surly you can't expect us to think anything else. I truly hate to think it is deliberate but I can't find another reasonable explanation.
You jump on anyone that brings the game into disrepute but you seem reluctant to address this issue & by ignoring fans, Fining coaches & clubs & using a line from the Simpsons to defend it. ( What about the children, Won't someone think about the children ) IT'S NOT JUNIOR LEAGUE. It's the commission & refs that are doing more damage than anything & if you don't believe me just jump onto any fan site or new paper & read the comments & articles.
If I'm wrong please do this great game a big favour & resign before the fans do.

I never knew Todd had one 'd'.
yeah think most have known him to be a two D variety by name and nature.
A loss is better right now than a win in my view. It brings us closer to completely overhauling the club which is vital for success in the future. No point getting angry over losing games when our season is over regardless of the result.
Yes there were some ordinary calls last night but believe me that game is not all I'm talking about. I watch most league games with a couple of friends that are not Parra fans & they are of the same opinion. P.S. John I really couldn't give a crap how Todddddd is spelt. This has nothing to do with spelling but thanks for your educated reply.
Todd is actually spelt with 12 Ds
I would have gone with something more like:
Dear Todd
Please f**k off.

100% AGREE. The referees, touchies, and the bunker get paid to help certain teams win. Anyone who believes something like this doesn't happen lives in la-la land. Any referee, touchie, bunker phucker, judiciary khunts can be bought to make wishes come true. Same goes with the players too.
KILL ALL PARRA DEATH RIDERS, every man, woman, and child. You don't get to death ride my team and not suffer any consequences.
May all your negative thoughts and wishes against Parramatta come back onto you & your team and your life in general, TEN FOLD.
