You never get calls when you are struggling. Sharks are a good team and most nrl fans will just leave it at that. Its easier to ignore a few calls here and there. Dont forget the bounce of the ball 'literally' wasnt on our side tonight as well which tends to happen for struggling sides. Its like the ball knows the plan too.
I must say though id be interested in listening to the referee audio in the first 10 minutes. I could be wrong but it did sound like he was controlling the speed in a direction... But then he backed off and I think he stopped this after their first try.
Yep it was obvious. It was set for set early and then he swung all the momentum their way with 3 penalties in a row to gift them momentum - off this they score and so would almost any other team with that ball.
Sure the penalty count evened up by the end but the crucial moments of the game, the momentum was swung in their direction only
Now you can say that maybe we were our own worst enemies and deserved to be penalized but to me the ref was a walking advert for incompetence & preferential refereeing.
Mate parramatta are pathetic no investigation needed investigate how Newcastle payed 1.3 for that dog shit player.. and investigate why hopgood gives away numerous penalties a game and can't catch.
"Cronulla got back to back penalties in the lead up to their first try. One for a Kautoga tackle deemed high that was below the shoulders. Then after defending that set Addo Carr was pulled up for not playing the ball with his foot. In the next set…"
"The sky is falling again. Can't be much left of it to fall.
In all seriousness, we are building something here, but it's going to take time. The back end of this season will produce better results if injuries are kind to us. We just need to hang in…"
"Yeah I listened on the radio sounded like another super poor away showing . Sounded like big effort no brains . The spoon is real for us . No one even turned up at Darwin .just gota keep building and hope something clicks "

Some might call it outright cheating.
He needs to be punished!!
Disgusting shit ref!
Yep agree PP
Who was the idiot in the bunker?
Great question!! What a Farkin incompetent piece of #$&@
Fellas, after Cronulla losing last week and the issues here did we think we'd get many good calls?
Not withstanding we made some poor reads but the officiating overall was poor like many games this season
I thought the McInnes Try was a total fing disgrace

Investigate how Newcastle paid $1.3mil to Brown, how is that our problem?
