Once again referees dictate the game

Posted by Charbs on August 21, 2016 at 3:57pm
Anyone else agree? A couple of their tries came off blatant forward passes, and the one that came off the charge down had the whole left hand side runners offside. Not to mention pointless penalties to get them out of their own half.Pair that with the stupid defensive reads of Toutai and of course we were going to get pumped. If Toutai was a great attacker or good under the high ball or great finisher, I can completely understand his inclusion to the team. But the guy has nothing. And he's shit in defense too.

    If the ball hits a parra player off the kick does that automatically put the raiders all onside. Or do the referees make it up as they go.

      If they played at it. But I Dont think he played at it I'm just calling it a "charge down" so you guys understand which point I'm talking about.
      At the very least they could've checked it upstairs for onside

      Papalli offside they should have went upstairs. But we had an early chance in the 2nd half to score but once they got that sheer piece of flukery you knew they where going to get the roll on.

    Totally agree guys. Every week I scratch my head and wonder why parra don't get any 50/50 calls go their way. It's really frustrating to watch

    Commentators talk like we are playing at full strength. Voss has jumped on band wagon as well.

    Yes that try off rebound kick. Raiders were 2 metres in front off kicker. Fucking bullshit.

    I agree that their tries were suspect but the reality is that even allowing for that, the game was there to be won. Our attacking options were poor and our handling was poor. They didn't beat us, we beat oursleves

      Pretty much spot on ken..we came out firing on all cylinders. Then as usual we let ourselves down once again. But why does it seem predictable we are going to falter?

    Hopefully Takka & Bo Scott will be back next week and Toutai can go back . Liked the look of Akafolou in 20's
