Thoughts on the Refs Tonight

Posted by MontoEel on August 4, 2018 at 8:42pm

I'm really happy with the Eels win tonight and there performance was quite good especially the 1st half. I'm a bit astounded again by some of the refereeing decisions and was beginning to think some of the second half decisions were attempting to bring the Titans into winning calculations. Don't understand why Tim Hannah was sent off for 10 minutes considering the previous warnings by the referee to Gutherson was 15 minutes earlier when Mannah wasn't on the field. If the Titans didn't make some terrible errors they could have easily had a close victory tonight on the back of some second half refereeing calls. It's seems also that the referees tend to focus on certain teams in the NRL in regards to the 10 minute sin bin.

Don’t even know what most of the penalties are for but it seems when a team is rolling up field and the other team even remotely looks like slowing them down the refs are smashing them. U end up with consecutive penalties and the farsical sinbining ofTim Mannah. The GC did cop a bit of the refs whistle in the first half. It does seem to take one team out of the contest for portions of the game. I’d like to see them blow less but I don’t think there is any conspiracy against Parra by the refs and the NRL as some suggest.

I think the issue we have is that the refs are liberal beta cuckolds, they naturally cant control footy players.

No doubt they are all Trump hating Hillary supporting dopes.

We need Trumpy to sort this out.

First half we got some ridiculous penalties our way, reversed second half. No way known Mannah should have been binned. There had been one previous penalty in 15 mins. Also Taka’s pass was a beauty

Agree..I was astounded at the referring in the 2nd half. Probably, 1 out of 3 I agreed with...the rest???Okay, I'm biased, but we have the worst bunch of officiators since I've followed the game. Some of those calls tonight were absolutely gobsmacking!!

Yep that forward pass call was a an absolute shocker

Agreed. The roosters game no different we couldn't even make out what some of the calls were for.

The Jennings try, that pass was not forward, how can you flick a pass forward!!
Pretty average refereeing
