What a horrible call.
The video ref got involved when the ref incorrectly gave them a dropout instead of a 20m and somehow didn't seem to say anything with this crap call.
The bias is there for all to see. When the top teams do something wrong, the other team must have done something illegal for it to happen. If the bottom team does something amazing, they must have cheated somehow. That's the mentality they go with.

I'll just add one more. We challenged the ball that Lane to me clearly knocked on. It went our way but I thought at the time Lane had knocked it on. At least that one we could challenge and they got it right.
Heaps of poor calls.
We still won though.

I was surprised they allowed the try to lucy
What a joke this league is. No team in the league is that disciplined to not commit multiple offences each game. We always seem to be on the wrong side of the officiating every game.

The two decisions that were overturned - one in each team's favour - were embarassing to Butler. Lane's knock on when contesting the bomb and Mikaele's error in the play the ball were obvious.
As for the set restarts, one of my gripes is that they're not tallied together with penalties. A penalty count of 6-4 appears even but add the 5-0 set restarts and it becomes very lopsided. Another problem I have with set restarts is that without a stoppage in play, there is no scrutiny of the original infringement. The cynic in me thinks it's another way for the NRL to avoid accountability for the appalling state of officiating.

But on the Mikaele dropped ball. Butler said Matterson was being penalised for hanging onto TM and dragging him around which he kinda did. Sure Thomas should have done better but I don’t understand how you get a penalty, the video shows evidence of the penalty but they get the decision,
It's this stuff that concerns me - Luciano Leilua "try" a few weeks ago was another one that was overlooked as well. THere has been major decisions in games that warrant a second look being brushed over - and every time it seems to be a struggling team.
It's as if only certain aspects are "looked over" when what's being sold to us the punter is that everything is being watched in the background by the bunker.
Apart from Nofoaluma being told to stop and a drop out being called, and THAT decision not being overturned, another concerning one was the Try in the Dragons/Knights game where Lomax jumped on Frizell after the apparent blunder.
Go back and watch the lead up - Frizell actually inadvertently grounds the ball in goal - constituting a line drop out. I haven't got a screenshot here of it, but I know it's easily found on the equivalent Knights Facebook Groups to our Tigers ones - and they lost 21-16.
Then the Patrick Herbert No Try for the Warriors against the Roosters.
This weekend has highlighted plenty of examples or "haves/Have nots" in the NRL.
Credit to the Tigers for overcoming the odds for once.
However coupled with a couple of rough calls and forward passes leading to tries in the storm game, and a few rough calls in the Warriors game, we could very easily be sitting at 3-3 or even 4-2 if we had gotten up in the Titans game.

The refs performance was disgusting. I felt the Eels were spending more time in the ru I than the tigers were but it was the Tigers copping the penalties.
The fact that he refused to blow a penalty for James Roberts being tackled without the ball was a joke and nearly cost us the game. The held call on Noffa was equally as bad and gave Parra another set on our line. We would have had an opportunity to counter attack as well.
The NRL needs to drop him back to reserve grade.

The call was wrong, but hypothetically, if it could be challenged and it was overturned, where would the play resume? As the ref blew the whistle before nofo was tackled, the ball would go back to Parra I would think. Otherwise the ref would need to make an arbitrary judgement on where nofo would've been tackled if the play was allowed to continue.

There where interesting calls all game .. the one you have mentioned clearly came from the bunker to the ref's ear .. looking at the replay .. the tackled Parra player rakes hand/fingers across Hastings face that appears like a eye gouge .. so Hastings feels this and then puts his hand on the Parra players face shoving his face to the ground .. to which the Parra players stands up shoves Hastings face .. The bunker only reports to the ref, Hastings shove on the face .. not he attempted rake / eye gouge by the Parra player .. !! Penalty should have gone to us, not them .. !!
Then you had the call on Nofa being tackled in goal .. he was slung to the ground with not hand holding there .. therefore Nofa was entitled to take off which he did .. but no the "Neville nobody" ref called held and lets have a drop out .. but about five mins later a Parra player got tackled and had 3 Tigers on him whilst on the ground and he wriggled out off the ground and played on .. for the ref only to call play on .. wtf .. !!
Then we had a Parra player being held in a stand up tackle for like a full a full minute .. then he manages to pop out a pass over the top and the ref again called play on .. crikey when is a player held .. !!

Thank you!!! Thought I was finally losing it, always next week 🙂
Yeah. It was yet another weak refereeing display and I don't like to harp on about it considering we won. However, questions still need to be asked about the blatantly terrible calls across multiple games this week. The standard needs to be lifted and Annessley needs to grow some balls and own the rubbish. Annessley would make a great politician as he never really owns up to or answers anything properly.
Butler specifically said that he was penalizing Matterson for holding on to Mikaele while he was trying to play the ball, when Parra wanted to challenge. He emphasized this point to Gerard Sutton, but Sutton overlooked that, or should I say totally ignored that part of the incident.
That was the only thing Harry Highpants Butler ruled in our favour & Sutton overruled him.

Tedesco not getting sin-binned for a holding-down professional foul vs the Warriors was another standout dud call. If it was a WT or Bulldogs player who did that it would be 10 in the bin for certain.
