Live game thread vs the Cowboys

[twentyforty]

This is a good read on the ROAR site..

The NRL thinks you are all idiots


On the 8th April, 1990, the Brisbane Broncos and Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles played out a tough, close game at Lang Park.


The Broncos were trailing 12-6 with less than ten minutes remaining when Kerrod Walters, backing up a Peter Jackson break, surged for the line, reached out, and bounced the ball.


Now, to be clear, this was not a ‘hmm, did he get that down, better check the replay’ ball bouncing. This was the Platonic ideal of knock-ons. This was a bounce that joined the Great Wall of China as man-made phenomena visible from space.

 

[Stevec]

I don't think we have any chance of getting the 2 points even if absolutely clear we were robbed which it is !
NRL don't want new precedent and their attitude will be stuff you tigers
If they want to do any damage repair ?
Three things must happen
1.NRL and Annessley must issue formal apology
2.Klein must be stood down
3. Feldt must get 1 game ban for diving (cheating)

Hoping above plus reminder to referees that they must guard against unconscious bias to favour top teams over bottom ones
They do that and I,ll move on don't do it and the pungent smell over the nrl officiating will linger and maybe grow

some stats

 

[coivtny]

People won’t like hearing this but WT should have discussed not blocking any chasers under any circumstances. Outfoxed again.

Not your best or brightest comment.

 

[earl]

If you look closely, a few steps before they collide Feldt’s stride changes and he actually leans into him, already committing to the dive before making contact. It was 100% planned and the video shows just how premeditated it was.

Imagine not being able to see this and being in the bunker. Just dwell on that.

It's so obvious. Does he have eyesight problems ? How could you be that incompetent ?

 

[Telltails]

The ref invited them to appeal for an escort. He telegraphed it before the kick off. Don't think he was ever going to rule on it till Klein got in his ear which forced the bunker to get involved.
Where is Klein hiding still in the bunker?
He is the cause of all this and is treated like a protected species.

Annersley said that he wouldn’t apologise as it was human error it wasn’t deliberate.

Which just shows how wrong it is to have Annesley in control of anything to do with impartiality.Anybody in his position should be a man of impeccable integrity and above reproach and we have a failed politician who would have less integrity than a used car salesman

I teach my kids that even if they made a mistake by accident they should still own it and apologize.
Sure, a sorry won’t bring the two points, but at least it would mean they own it, empathise and regret their actions. This would lead to a behavioural change.
Ultimately, NRL is the parent who allows them to get away with it, which only serves to encourage more of this inequitable crap.

a soft Kok can only blow a soft penalty through a soft whistle .
it’s in the rule book UNDER ub6ib9

The decision to recruit Hastings at 13 is imo not only a masterstroke but a move which may impact many NRL teams. I hope we see a trend of the return to the ball playing/organisational lock in the style of Paul Langmack and Ian Russell. The game is far more exciting when players of this calibre can open a defence as we watched against the Cowboys.

Hopefully this results in our lower grade teams fielding more mobile and skillful locks in the traditional ball playing role.

As for Hastings, I hope he re-signs and comes to terms with the knowledge he has a home at WTs albeit in the 13 jumper.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

On the actual game, isn't it great to see the Tigers make some offloads and create 2nd phase play! Makes a hell of a difference & may actually unlock Zane Musgrove and get Daine Laurie to follow the ball runner (like our final try).

Good to see that you are giving your children moral standards

Annersley said that he wouldn’t apologise as it was human error it wasn’t deliberate.

Which was a very dumb comment because isn’t that what we teach our kids if you make a mistake apologise. Or does Mr. Annesley think you should only apologise if you deliberately do the wrong thing and get caught?

Annesley is/was a LNP politician so it is very unlikely he knows what "apology" means let alone "sincere apology".

I remember last year, that critical eels v panther game where Ivan used his spoiling tactics and the officials missed that horrific knock on.

That was life or death for the entire seasons campaign.

They spend million of dollars on refereeing and officials and they still struggle.

Apart from us, you’d think the sides near the cows on the table wouldn’t have appreciated the error.

We played good footy, stayed composed and retaliated, some really positive changes we don’t get often.

Despite the result, that was steep rise in form against a willing side.

Hopefully the fuse is lit now for a sustained growth phase. If so, the official blunder is a price worth paying.

We just need to see how the boys respond.

I think we are all pleased with the effort. It’s been a long time coming.

Walk off

Not very yet 🤞

Reason not to give up, and stay positive. Follow it to fiasco

Corruption at the NRL is nothing new, but that is the Number 1 RORT in NRL history! SHAME SHAME SHAME

I couldn't agree more mate. Never have I seen such corruption in all my life. NRL should be ashamed of themselves. Come out and apologise yet where's our 2 points. It's the most disgusting call in NRL. The officials should be reprimanded yet they get away with it week in week out. And the referees boss apologises that's it what a joke. The officials decide who's going to win the game. Yet I am disgusted with the club and the CEO for doing nothing in the end all the threats ends in nothing. It seems odd that the tigers have dropped everything in a day nothing more said. I often wonder but can't prove it the NRL, officials are corrupt to the core. Tigers vs cowboys game is the worst I have ever seen and will go down in history as the worst call ever. I hope it's done alot of damage to the nrl. I'm still fuming weeks on.
