The title says it all. I don't even think Parra are any where near as bad as they are made out to be. It's pretty hard to win when the refs hate you, when the 50/50 calls Never, and i mean, like EVER, go your way. When you get disallowed tries multiple times a game, while the opposing team are allowed to score blatantly illegal tries, and when you spend half the game without possession because the refs give the other teams 10 penalties in a row. The NRL has become a corrupt sport of monumental proportions. Simples. Parra are shite, don't get me wrong. But we are not only 2 wins shite. The refs wield waaay too much power. Why the feck hasn't BA blown up yet?

  • BA blows up, smoke up people’s jumpers that is. As for you, report to your physician immediately, those anti-psychotic drugs are not working!

  • Fully agree chips

    • Why do we always cop these pricks on these celebratory games and get robbed . Last year it was CamBerg Smith’s 350th or whatever the hell it was and we got robbed by a pass 10x more forward than last nights one we had disallowed . 

  • I don't think the disallowed tries were tries but disappointed in some decisions. Taka being penalised for running bronco off ball while they were off side. Line ball passes called forward and bevan taken mid air, all cost us field position and stopped momentum which is talked about as key.
    Have refs caused parra their poor start to season, no despite 50/50s going against us we have not been good enough. BUT have refs helped broncos myth of team this year stay in 8 and gifted wins, YES.
  • Same with lady frog and choc frog. The original working class soul of the game is close to death now - NRL is now part of the Truman Show. 

  • Thing is chips, fans claim the exact same thing on every footy forum, reality is fans often only see one side of the coin.

    For the record the french pass was a mile forward out of the hands, if we'd lost a game on a pass like that everybody would be blowing up and saying it was 4 ft forward and it was..

    • True but come on snake surely Jennings was stripped should of been play on , and if you look close enough pangai knocks the ball on from dummy half which leads to sahko first try , I don’t blame refs being one myself but tonight’s performance from the refs were very very average
      • Kng Oon, Corey went down hill after you and your mates introduced him to the lebanese lollies at that notorious dinner that made the headlines, youve played your part in this my old friend.

    • lol trust me Norman loved the Lollies long before that night
    • The pass to French floated forward - over the past few seasons, multi hundreds of allowed tries have been scored just like this. This is a constant norm of this sport since the times of Dally Messenger.

      There is aclear difference between passing a ball forward from the hands (a penalty) and the ball floating forward after being released backwards/sidewards from the hands (no penalty) - players in attacking motion will always play a part with balls floating forward. It happens in probably every game of NRL and probably happens many times in every game too. It was a try.

      And the Jennings disallowed try - what was the left hand of the Broncos defender doing there, grappling with the ball in Jennings arm??? If the defenders hand was not there, there would have been no attempt to pull/strip the ball out of Jennings grasp the ball would not have spilt/been-pulled-out  The defender forced the ball out and another Eels player came through and scored the try.
