Look, I know a lot of you will rightly point out that we had our chances to win this game but I have a real problem with the game at the moment.
I've made the comment before that I'd watch a neutral game of AFL, Rugby and Netball over a neutral game of rugby league considering my complete disappointment and disillusionment with RL at the moment.
It is so obvious that each game of rugby league is decided by the refs - every game - every week.
That's not what I watch sport for - for some mincing little cunt that wasn't good enough to play the game so minces it up in a pretty little pink dress.
Tonight's game was decided by the fairies. They penalised the shit out of us for the sort of things that happens in every tackle from both sides. 5-1 at half time, and the bullwogs could only score after their dual leg-ups from the fairies.
Second half - when we had to get back into the contest - the little pink cunts put the whistle away. Had we received our fair share of arbitrary penalties, we win the game.
So, what do we glean from this? The fairies decided the game.
And that is what rugby league is today. A toss of a coin, decided by the referees. And that's why the game is dying in its traditional heartlands. Penrith are doing well but can't pull a crowd. Campbelltown can't get a get a crowd. The Titans get 5000 to a game whereas the Suns get 20,000 and we can't match the support of the Wanderers.
Melbourne, Roosters, Manly and Soufs are irrelevances to the future of our game, yet they are given a 'hall pass' by the hapless NRL while the clubs that spend their money and attempt to generate future success for the game get routinely fucked by an inept administration
Okay, Melbourne keep doing well and that means good TV rights deals, but if western Sydney turns off THERE IS NO FUCKING GAME!!! TAKE YOUR TV DEAL AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR FUCKING ARSES! AND TAKE THE CUNTING PINK FAIRIES WITH YOU, YOU SHAM OF A SPORT!
I'm telling you this game is dead!!!

I know I'm going to sound like a wanker for saying this, but if I were in charge of this club, I'd be straight into the Federal Court on Monday filing an injunction to have the game's result annulled.
Is there precedent you ask? Yes there is. Back in 1996, Swans fullback Andrew Dunkley was suspended by the AFL in the qualifying final and was set to miss the GF. The Swans sought injunctive relief and, rather than having the GF postponed, the AFL agreed to allow Dunkley to play in the GF whilst evidence was compiled as to why the tribunal decision should stand.
Of course, that took time, and ultimately the Federal Court upheld the decision of the Tribunal, but Dunkley got to play.
What the Swans, in effect did, was hold the AFL to ransom and won! Since then, Swans players are rarely suspended for actions that players from other teams do get suspended for.
I propose a similar regime. Sure, we won't have the result overturned, but it will seriously fuck the season for pretty much every team and will show the NRL administration to be the callously biased and agendered organisation that it is.
This I can promise you, if we did it, they'd never fuck with us again!
Mate, I have bit of inside info on the Federal Court Judges in Sydney, and those that like their sport are either leather pacthes who prefer Rugby or rusted on old trade union blokes who sympathise with the punters from the western suburbs.
I reckon we'd at least get a look in despite an ultimate failure - but it would seriously shake the tree - and it would cost the NRL at least $1m to defend. Whether our club has the cash to stump up for a costs order against it would be the only reason I wouldn't pursue this path such that we get a fair crack moving forward.
Too right BM!
You have to wonder how this standard of reffing would go down in a soccer mad country? They would not last five minutes.
It's big business and it's just beyond a joke with these turkeys at the helm
Their VERY FIRST priority must be to get the reffing right. NEVER has the standard been this bad!
Agree 100%. Bulldogs won tonight because they received less "bad decisions" from the refs. There where bad calls all night but we just got more of them costing us the match.
The NRL are kidding themselves if they thing cleaning up the game is going to increase fan numbers. The game is losing fans now as a result of the shithouse calls from referees every week. There are far too many grey areas in the game today, and too much wrestling that goes on to make it the spectacle it was 5-10 year ago.
The game should be about physically dominating your opposition and NOT about who has the best wresting coach or who can suck up to the refs the best.
Andrew Johns made the comment during the second half call that he was enjoying the game because the fairies put their little whistles away.
Well, that's all well and good but the damage was done in the first half.
Had we had a game of rugby league football whereby the players determined the result, I believe we would have won, but had we not, there wouldn't be the sort of shithouse taste in my mouth than currently is after watching that game of football.
..."shithouse taste in my mouth" - queue the silly comments!
poor kid. Hope he realizes it's not his fault. Feel sure BA will let him know that.
