Some terrible defence and Eels deserved the loss by some margin, but how bad have some ref calls been. These clowns with the whistle should have to front a press conference with Turdburger sitting next to them. This shit happens way too often and is driving fans mad. Not just in Parra games does this piss me off but nearly every game. Even in games between teams I couldn't give 2 shits about, I find myself yelling at so many of these jokers decisions.
Most annoying is it's not about whether I agree or disagree with their decisions, but rather how wildly inconsistent they are.
Ref Press Conference with Grant Atkins & Turdburg.
Journo- Greenturd, just prior to Cowboys first try, the ball carrier drops the ball cold when playing the ball. Your dopey ref calls crowding and hands possession back to Cowboys. Please explain....
TG- Correct call. He got it right. No further comment
Journo- OK. I couldn't help but notice, Channel 9 conveniently failed to show a replay.....
TG- Satelite problem.
Journo-So later in the half, Gutho was playing the ball. The marker stuck his foot out, knocking the ball out of his hands. Looked like a clearer example of crowding but ruled as a knock on. Such inconsistency Todd...
TG-I've consistently said our officials are consistently working on being consistent with their inconsistency. I think you know what I mean????
Journo- Grant, can you tell me when the new play the ball rule was introduced?...
Grant- New play the all rule????
Journo- Yeah, you know the one where if a player gets to his feet and plays the ball cleanly with his foot, if he falls over again once the ball has cleared the ruck, you have to call a penalty..... but only once the ball reaches the 3rd receiver.
Grant- Peni needs to display a better sense of balance. He shouldn't get away with winning the wrestle and earning the right to a quick play the ball.
Journo-But shortly after, at the other end of the field, Taumalolo tried to play the ball quickly and rolled the ball parallel to the try line. He didn't take the extra second to get to his feet and then position himself correctly before playing the all. Right in front of you. Didn't you see that?
Grant- Yes I did, I thought he was 'only' 90 degrees off playing the ball square. Not really a need to worry too much about that one.
Journo- Toddy Boy, fans have had enough. You are in control of this game. How have you allowed the game to start turning off lifelong fans??
TG- Am I in control of the game???

Like anyone didn’t know Parra would get flogged. Any team was gonna get flogged by the cowboys in JT’s last home game.
As the commentary board said after the game.. everything went to script
Mate. You nailed it. Every part of what you said my 13 yr old said too watching the game with me - without my input. Simply #$&#ing shocking.
