Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Come on Jirskyr, I don't think you are reading my posts. I would not have bias against the team I wanted to win. So in those cases, where the ref is showing bias for the team I want to win, it is probably not my bias seeing only what I want to see.

Of course it is, that's exactly what it is.

So by some mechanism the refs favour the teams you want to win, bias towards those teams you are backing, except when it's Tigers. Only happens in the wrong direction when you want Tigers to win.

It doesn't matter whether it's positive or negative bias towards TEAM X (whatever team), you are providing an anecdotal summary of a subset of games, recalled from memory and without verifiable data, and ignoring all the matches where the criteria you speak of don't exist (where you aren't backing any particular side).

What you are talking about doesn't really exist, but you are seeing things in results because you have an emotional investment in the outcome.

Interesting Madge said in tonight's press conference they tried to sign Nu Brown two years ago but he was injured and it didn't eventuate.

Madge seems to get his guy eventually. As seen with Naden who was chased late last year....

Maybe we'll get a few other missed players at some point...

not spectacular but in truth its day 3 in the squad.

Saved a certain dufty break away try.

He's a big guy in the centers so Im glad he's here

Gets a pass mark especially considering he had next to no time to gel.

It was his best game all season.
He has been terrible for the bulldogs

He made 100mtrs, made a try saver, try assist and did everything we needed him to do.

It’s been a while aside from Garner we could say that for a center this year.

I believe the referees are protecting momentum and are helping the favourites at the start of the game. I have noticed it in most games, mentioning that I also see it when it favours the team I am emotionally invested in indicates, to me at least, that it is not just me only remembering the decisions that go against my team.

Neither of us can prove our point with evidence. It is subjective and every example is different, but straw man arguments and wildly twisting peoples words don't win any internet debates, they just damage your own credibility.

You are the one making the argument dude. You are absolutely correct that what you are saying probably cannot be proven with evidence - hence not much of an argument that you made in the first place.
 
LIddle looks like he is playing to get another deal elsewhere.. For me his passing is way below standards and he seem to hog the ball at the wrong times. Nu Brown come on and I thought he went very well so moving forward this year I would think Simpkin 9 and Brown 14 and Peachey reserves when the backs are back.
If we don't get Angus C we need to think outside the box as 2FR is a massive issue..

Did I ready earlier something about Nikora not signed with sharks and might be still on ?
