If Mitchell Moses had played against the Bulldogs yesterday afternoon would Parra have won? I think the Eels were definitely robbed by some really disgraceful refereeing and bunker calls against Parra and some that should have gone against the Bulldogs that were let go.
I think that if Moses played the Eels would have won for a number of reasons. His leadership was sorely missed, his kicking game, his captaincy in questioning some of the poor refereeing calls and just his presence on the field. Williams as acting captain should have spoken up numerous times but he didn't to my knowledge.
The incident where Burton blatantly pushed JAC out of the way when it's obvious JAC would have scored a try. That should have been challenged by Williams and definitely called by the linesman and bunker. Should have been a penalty minimum and a professional foul.
I still don't understand why Moses was left out of yesterday's game as it would have been the ideal way for him to prove his ability to play in Origin 2 even if Moses only played half a game or came on in sections still would have benefitted both ways.
The other extremely questionable decisions by referee and bunker like the Papali try just before half time. The supposed shoulder charge on Burton by TDS that led to the Bulldogs winning. The obstruction by TDS late in the 2nd half were all incorrect in my opinion. Let's hope IF Moses does play Origin 2 that NO injuries happen to him or it will possibly be same as last year

There's a lot to take out of that match. The Dogs were almost at full strength and still needed the ref to beat our NSW Cup team. It wasn't a pretty match, but I was proud to see us hold on. The Dogs would be embarrassed of that performance, they were, so to speak 'dogshit'.
...and brightened up your birthday.
Not sure about that, but it was better than a kick in the balls.
