LIVE GAME Round 14 vs. Raiders

[Tito Santana]

NRL is a joke. I’m convinced they don’t want the Tigers to play in the finals. It’s getting as corrupt as FIFA.

 

[AL The Tiger]

So the bunker and referees confirm that they messed up, yet we have some "fans" on here who go about calling others sheep when we mention the clear refereeing bias against us...

Surely Annesley realises how many times he's had to come out and apologise to the Tigers for refereeing mistakes over his tenure and at what point does he begin to address the clear issues his referees have in officiating Tigers games?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Says it all.

 

[Buttface]

How many post-match apologies from the NRL equal 2 points in compensation?!

Fair dinkum, maybe 2024 is the year that all the calls go our way for a change!

Aw shucks an NRL apology for costing us the game, again.
That’s makes it alright then, I feel so much better.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Why am i not surprised, if you didnt know any better you might have thought there was an agenda. Apology today all is forgiven ey.

Matty johhns called Brooks the player of the round.

Read M Johns would be keen to coach at club in some capacity again. Would be a great pick up for a club.

said he had the best game of his career on Friday night which shocked me too hahaha not saying he didn't have a good game but certainly not the game of his career

For the last 5 weeks you could have picked Brooks for MOM!! He is in career best form and is going great!! Im so happy for him and for us fans!!

Absolutely correct. But it’s bigger than that (ask the warriors sponsor), unless you are a ‘preferred’ team there will continue to be decisions NOT in your favour. Similarly blatant forward passes are ‘missed’, whilst marginal ones are pulled up. Who can forget big Ken being ruled offside because ‘both’ feet weren’t behind the kicker whilst being 30 m apart and no obvious alignment to make that decision.
Unfortunately all non favoured teams cop it every week.

 

[simonsatiger]

Ya know theres copping a few bad decisions in a game which i can cop but damn we got rammed hard in the backdoor against the raiders!!! Just all game!! That Sutton is the worst!!

The only thing which stopped him from having a perfect game was the abysmal management of the last play of the game. Should have been one more hit up to the right post to setup for a field goal.

Our team’s inability to defuse a simple kickoff doesn’t help.
How many times have we lost a game at the end coz we can’t do the basics like defuse a kickoff or a short drop out after getting our nose in front.
You can’t blame Brooks, he had already won the game for us, all we had to do was work as a team and not blow it.

Who can forget Junior Pauga not watching the ball and letting it hit him without travelling 10m off a short drop out. Nothing will ever beat the stupidity of that moment!

That one angered me than most, not sure why, there has been plenty worse ones.

This isn’t an “anti Tigers bias”, it’s referee/bunker incompetence. Annesley admitted Canberra got ripped off 3 legitimate tries against the Bulldogs and Manly. Swings and roundabouts.

Sometimes we get a call, sometimes we don’t, but every club is getting screwed over. That Broncos v Storm game a few weeks ago was a prime example. 4-5 horrible incorrect calls conceded by Annesley which resulted in points.

If you score enough points to overcome their incompetence, you win. It’s the really close games where the bad calls hurt.

The stats said we should have scored plenty more than we did. Our 15 errors (poor execution) cost us. We should have won that game by 30.

I personallly think that was the defining moment. The papi penalty and subsequent fluffing around doesn’t bother me at all because the raidas shouldn’t have been in that position.

I watched a doco. on Netflix about an NBA ref. who was gambling on games, got caught and came clean about everything.
He said all refs referee teams differently, and referee certain players differently. He also admitted refs. take their grudges against clubs and coaches out on the players.
They do it subtly. It's not always the calls they make. In NRL it can just be the 6 agains, the speed of the ruck, how they police the 10 etc.
It happened in the NBA, I'm sure it happens in the NRL.

Said this to bros at the time

From memory I think we only had seconds left? Might not have had the opportunity after one more tackle.

I’m pretty confident it happens too. Refs are human.

I’m sure there’s politics within the bunker system itself with different refs over ruling each other over technicalities.
