Refereeing is useless

Watching Tigers vs Cowboys, apart from some generally stupid decisions, particularly around the definition of a knock on, the game ended by giving the Cowboys a penalty for a chaser being impeded chasing the ball. Firstly,  why we're they even given the choice to make a xall, no decision was made? Secondly,  the Tigers guy is running towards the ball? Finally, this happens every single set of every game, why call it on the last play?

I don't care about either team, hardly makes a difference to the Eels who won't car h Cowboys, but I am frustrated knowing that the puppet masters keep pulling this type of crap, and it will inevitably set a orecedence for screwing us at some point.

  • Mate, if there were suspicions of corruption in the game, that just turn suspicion into fact. Worst decision of have ever seen. But Analsly will say yep got it wrong, stiff shit Tigers.

  • All I can say thankgod that wasn't Parra that lost that game. I'd be on my way to lockup.

    • Would still blame BA too hahaha.

  • My first thought was literally the worst decision in the history of the video referee / bunker era. But then I remembered the bunker sometimes has replays we didn't see. I'm thinking that's the case here. Surely they wouldn't opening cheat and be so obvious. They know heaps of people are watching.

  • That was without doubt the worst decision I've ever seen. 
    1) He turned to run back to the ball. He only had eyes for the ball. Feldt clearly dived theatrically. 
    2). What was the stop in play for? Laurie had caught the ball and got tackled. The clock had reached zero. 
    3) Why were the Cowboys allowed to challenge? There was no stop in play, there was no decision. What decision exactly were they challenging?  
    4) Since they did proceed with the penalty why was the penalty where the ball was caught? Feldt tripped over 20m upfield.  
    The refs were inept bordering on corrupt. 

    • Excellent points.....I bet they train for that type of penalty. Another thing was the bunker relaying info to the ref or the sideline official?

    • Muttman go back and have a look at Feldt after the penalty is given

      He is absolutely pissing himself that the officials fell for it

      • He (Feldt)  dropped his shoulder lower to strike well before contact. Show his intentions from word go.  Farcical.

        • EE it was a dive and the moron Ref fell for it even though by the rules he couldn't allow the challenge

          He needs to lose his job

          Imagine this ref in the pressure cooker atmosphere of finals football where his stupidity could end someones season like what happened to the Eels last year against the panthers
