Bloody refs

I know the nrl has to give Jonathan Thurston his fairytale ending at dairy farmers last nite but some of those calls against us were disgraceful. The refs are dictating the momentum of the games every week. I didn't really notice it until this season in particular. What your thoughts?

  • I actually couldn't watch after they put 30 on us. The game has become such a farce. Have a look at the AFL. They seem to have a much more professional game down there, run by people who know what they are doing. We have a joke of a game run by imbeciles. Great way to show loyalty to all the Sydney fans who have had to watch their competition slowly erode from the great game that it used to be...
    • The game has been progressively getting worse under Greenturd.

      People said to me that I was paranoid when I mentioned Greenturd directly influences refs decisions. So, why is it that he told them to cut down on the 'knit picking' penalties, which they did and directly influenced them?

      Since Greenturd said on radio that the NRL is entertainment, 'we are here to entertain', I realised this game was a joke and in an idiots hands who has no idea.

      No mention of sport, rugby league or even 'the product'. Nup. Entertainment he labelled it as.

      Where do the strings stop being pulled to make sure the game is 'entertaining'?

  • They were deadset taking the piss those refs!!
  • Agree. Refereeing in the NRL has become a total farce and disgrace. It's that bad that droves of supporters will end up leaving this game IF things don't change. I mean 3 penalties in the first two minutes to the Cowboys giving them 2 points and I knew it was over. Absolute disgrace.

    • ffs every penalty was deserved.the eels were lazy and tried to cut corners by laying on players  offside  ball stripping  etc  the refs did not go out with a plan to make sure the cowboys one. if you think that you are an imbecile .refs have no control of us missing tackles  throwing forward passes  dropping the ball  32 nil at oranges and you blame the refs paleese.get real . well done cowboys showed you did not want the spoon onya jt well played

      • So then Nudger your saying that the Cowboys were 100% perfect and didn't make any errors? 3 penalties in the first 2 minutes of the game to the Cowboys giving them a gifted 2 points is absurd. The Eels were not that bad in the first 15-20 minutes BUT the refereeing was an utter disgrace again. 

        • There were enough bullshit calls that if we had have played well, we would have lost anyway! 

          • Your likely correct Smokey, but having BS calls that are so one sided and wondering what is going on makes things harder to take.  The aspect that the games best ref, is getting out at seasons end tells it more than anything we can put up and the NRL will do nothing about it, as they will have no conscience sitting on their shoulders anymore.

    • There was a rough call last nite. There was a penalty against a peni terapo play the ball which was penalized nearly two tackles after he did it yet gavin cooper does a similar play and it's not penalized. I'm just saying
