Sydney Teams v Others

Posted by Ross on July 16, 2017 at 5:56pm

Couldn't give a stuff about Souths, but watching that game it is bleedingly obvious that the Refs favour non Sydney teams. Can't believe how long they let the cowboys lay around in the tackle before calling held, slowing any momentum Souths manage to get.

The refereeing in the NRL is an absolute disgraceful farce! The refereeing causes:
1) Total outcomes of games.
2) Changes momentum in games.
3) Favours certain teams over others.
4) Favours certain players over others.
5) Is totally untouchable and above the Rugby League Law & Rules they are supposed to uphold.

Refs often decide games through error and I guess i would be amiss to suggest a ref has NEVER EVER been paid off or cheated for other reasons, however I see no major benefit to the NRL or the refs on an individual level to favour non-sydney teams.

True, there's no way the NRL would resort to that sort of thing to try and grow the game, that would be as stupid as playing an NSW ORIGIN home game in Melbourne, oh, hang on, we do that all the time!
I must admit the sharks do seem to get the same favours even though they are a Sydney team

I'd start him on the wing as not to disrupt Rusty and the combos set up…"
