Live game thread vs the Cowboys

Please make it make sense. I'm still stunned by that decision and it will take a while not to feel disheartened.

I couldn't possibly. We should be sitting here talking about the inside ball from Doueihi to Laurie out to To'a in the last minute and singing our song. Wasn't meant to be, it's on to next week babes.

Who cares we'll get them again
 
The in game referee looked absolutely lost out there before he accepted the captain's challenge. Running in circles towards nowhere, desperately listening to his device and for some reason searching out the cowboys captain on a decision he didn't make. He had no idea what to do and panicked. Referees these days can't even manage to blow full time without asking for help with it.

Doesn't know the rules, can't handle the pressure, shouldn't be refereeing NRL.

I’m annoyed by this but know the NRL are just going to explain everything away.

1. The ref made no call at all so a challenge isn’t allowed according to their own rules. However now they are saying you can challenge the final play of the game. Any close game from now on is going to have a challenge on the final play in the hope they find something.

2. The NRL are claiming a whistle was blown but that’s not full time. That’s not how the game works. The ref hears the siren and blows a whistle for the end of the game. There is nothing else they need to do. They are seriously making up rules now.

Can’t wait to hear the rest of the spin in the morning.

This decision is being questioned by almost every fan and media personality in the game. Surely they have to open their eyes at some point and try and fix this ridiculousness.

It’s a bizarre suggestion that you can challenge a non-ruling at halftime or full time but not the same thing 5 seconds before that. If there were 20 seconds left we play the ball and there’s no challenge. It’s a ridiculous hair splitting attempt by the NRL.

Just a bum covering tactic by the NRL and referees

I’m still seething I couldn’t give a shit about a hollow apology from the NRL or the refs. I want the correct result to be reinstated, this not only has ramifications for us and potentially not getting the spoon it could shape the nature of the 8 or top 4.
Also getting results now could help our recruitment going forward it could also determine who gets moved on and who gets retained ect what a joke the Nrl is absolute farce.

Also by standing up for ourselves and demanding some serious action out of yesterday might make some corrupt officials think twice about messing with us next time. Yesterday should be the day where the club turns the corner and won't be picked on anymore.
 
Great performances by Laurie,Brooks,Kelma,Naden,Brown,Douehi
Good from Offa,Toa,Hastings ,Tamou
Rest ok thought AJ badly out of position for cows 3rd try
Man of Match to Feldt for "dive of the year"
 
Game plan when you are down by 1 with only 1 second left
1. Kick off deep enough to make penalty kick easy
2.run and collide with somebody
3.fall down
4. Appeal get penalty kick goal and win game
Coaches will take note no such thing as sportsmanship and Payten you and your comments disgust me

Not so fast... A forum user made a specific death threat against a player earlier.

Would never do that Kul and please don't imply that I was I find that offensive. All I'm saying is we're lucky we live in a very tolerable society. And in terms of people sinking beers and not giving a sh!t I fall into that category like most others.
 
Before ANY bunker call is made , the person should ask themselves , what will the general public think with the decision im about to make . Keeping it neutral through the whole process.
This simple 10 seconds pause and reminder to them via their screens in front of them, before hitting any button , will help them deliver more correct calls than not.

Appreciating the input.

Unsurprisingly just the same Demps.
I’ve still got this uncomfortable feeling that the NRL wants the referees to have more control over the outcome of games.

It all seemed very suss aye...
Too obvious to be a mistake.

The backlash has been very clear as well, all you have to do is read the comments on the NRLs social media and its majority saying robbery.

Do you think this could be the plan along with the 05 back to the future stuff? Aussies will always stand up for an underdog being beat up by a bully.

LOL, what ?


Use it for media promos next year?
Push us to the finals ?

I think Klein and Elon (on field ref) have just made a massive mistake and hopefully proves costly, to not just US - but to them.
 
Still in shock, as we played a lot better yesterday still not 100% but they played well.But my hat goes of to Ben Gardiner...wow what a well spoken man. seems to know Rugby League inside out, understands how it works, and has the respect of the players just listen to James Tamou in that press conference, and right at the end Respect.Well done boys.
