Live game thread vs the Cowboys

Well ladies and gentlemen,

If this does not galvanise us as supporters, nothing will. The fury that I felt and read in other people's comments shows me we might have differences of opinions, but we are all passionate Tigers supporters. James Graham's call about the shotgun and balaclava was brilliant. What our players desperately need to do now is play with the same attitude next week. I loved watching them use the ball and backing each other up.

What and where did james Graham say?
 
This game will headline for the next few days. Was an absolute rort and even commentators and journalists in tigers corner for once. Will be interesting to see how it all pans out

Honestly ,
If a Saudi benefactor came in and said I want to start an alternate rugby league competition would we honestly have a super league reaction ?
Does any one actually have a loyalty to the nrl ? Like most of us had to the ARL ? That’s not rhetorical either . Does anyone ?
I personally don’t . This iteration of the governing body for our game has a stench on it the ARL never did . Whilst there definitely was nepotism in regards to roster spots for rep teams and some off field stuff , especially for Canterbury and of course manly , I can’t ever recall the same type of blatant , wwe type finishes to games we have witnessed the last 5 years .
I’m off the nrl , and I think most fans would agree with me . They need to go .
Where’s the next Rupert Murdoch ?

From watching the replays, the time situation is a non issue, it was done to the letter of the law. As per TV time: 78:30 try scored, 78:33 try awarded and clock stopped. Clock resumed once try was confirmed, 80 seconds (actually 82 seconds) later clock stopped as per rules for conversions (79:55 on TV, but 6 seconds on the official clock from looking at the scoreboard). Ball hits the upright at 79:56 (so with 5 seconds left on official clock), and the ground at 79:57 (so 4 seconds left). Clock stopped at 80:00 on the TV clock (but 1 second left on the official clock as shown with TV clock being 1 second ahead). Clock updated on TV to reflect correct time. Therefore clock was accurate.

The rules breaches were in the accepting of the challenge when there was no stoppage of play, and the incorrect ruling of obstruction.

So you keep telling us
 
the excuse about referees only being human.
no excuses, they get top dollar to get it right.
FFS there’s 10 of them involved.
as fans we need to here all conversations taking place by all offical during the course of the match.

??? I literally just said the same thing. He’s riding on a high , so he sees the positives . But no way he has that reaction if his job was on the line .
And for the most part , I’m a vacuum he’s right . But we don’t live in vacuums , and decisions , whilst not anywhere near as bad , like that have been happening to us ever since uncle Pete got in charge .
And the only way to fix it , is to actively call them out for it in the media.

But he seems like a good coach . I really hope we keep him around .

Didn't take that from your original post, apologies if I misunderstood

For once, it’s a legitimate gripe re the referees. While it sucks, it was still a great effort. And if they play more like that consistently, they’ll win a lot more games.

Pandora's box. From today forward has definately been opened. You will now see this ploy being used insead of actually going for field goal, just put up a bomb then of you go to find a player to run into.

It is infuriating because we all know that nothing will be done. The NRL MAY admit they got it wrong but we still won’t get the points & punters that took the tigers to win still will lose their money. Gamble responsibly guys but just remember the NRL can manipulate wins to suit themselves.

Also Krissy, if we get the wooden spoon because of it then the club could stand to lose a lot of money if for example some sponsors jump ship.
I know that is a far fetched statement but not out of the question.
Also some members may not renew and of course there is the stigma surrounding the spoon.
Every player lifted today. No supporter can be critical of their effort hey 👍
