NRL Refs

[AmericanHistoryX]

If we won. There would be no talks of ref's. Whats all your point? According to the Canterbury hooker - its all okay if done in spirit of the club.

 

[Kaito]

Refs are shoddy...it shouldn't really shouldn't matter though guys
Luai & Galvin look like they had their shoelaces' tied for a bit of the game...sense the contract stall is indicative of his contract talks too.

Flick Galvin after his.contract is done if he doesn't accept the extension, it's as simple as that. Fainu is worth more to us than Galvin at this moment in time..

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Shoe laces tied!!!! Love it Kaito.

 

[Kaito]

Latu a lot like isaiya katoa at the dolphs,
Wouldn't mind bringing back cons lemuelu back either too. We need Taylan and another edge badly, loving the fight we showed though..

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Valiant effort. Without the ref's.

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

I have to ask myself why I'd even bother watching anymore.
The NRL have decided which teams they want to play finals this year, the reffing, and the judiciary decisions over the weekend were so blatantly corrupt.
They're not even bothering to hide it anymore.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Its a business. And our country has a business number.

Yeah the whole rule is stupid but the NRL like to roll out their ball in play stat discussing the game post the six again introduction and will turn a blind eye to all opposing points.
As for deliberately knocking on to get the penalty it is certainly an option but probably not advised. Reason being that you need to be sure to get the timing correct. If you knock on in the play the ball as you suggest you would not received the penalty. As your error is the play after the infringement. You would need to knock on only when there is an offside infringement, not a ruck infringement, and only when the offside player is deemed to be impacting the play.

We get penalised *when* our players impact the play and are within 10 metres. It happens a lot and the refs don’t seem to understand consistency.

 

[TieDye]

On a wet track, you want us to believe that they got 3 men into flop style tackles, holding our blokes down all night long, yet we managed to have the faster play the ball speed?
We must have been doing it even more then......

Your argument has acknowledged that it happened.

Come on mate, you think your ‘referee doesn’t ever deliberately or selectively intervene to [This word has been automatically removed] us’ wears thin…

Why didn’t CNK get taken off for HIA when he deliberately ran into Seyfarth Shoulder and lay on the ground like a category 2 concussion?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Ask someone who is in control. Always the refs when we lose. Who will take responsibility? For this team.

 

[incontrol]

Why didn’t CNK get taken off for HIA when he deliberately ran into Seyfarth Shoulder and lay on the ground like a category 2 concussion?

I’m asking to get an understanding, isn’t this about player welfare? If he is laying on the ground suffering from some kind of head knock, wouldn’t the correct call to be to take him off and assess his head injury? CNK was allowed to stay on the field and play on. This would minimise someone milking the penalty as he stayed on the ground until the bunker reviewed the hit and then was fine!

 

[incontrol]

When a player is on the ground like that, aren’t they meant to be taken off the field for an independent assessment?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Hence - this thread

Do you think he was concussed?

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

It doesn't matter what he thinks. That's what stinks

It matters what both the warriors doctor and the independent doctor think though, and neither thought CNK might have been concussed.

My dear, bro I didn't even watch the game. Nothing pointed out like to me like a 3 win fashion, especially with skelly out. Looked a bit lost, but that's fine..
No reason we can't go on a run shortly hereafter...

Aside from probably the Broncos and maybe Souths the NRL would likely stand to profit more from Tigers to be in the finals than any other team. Why would they be conspiring against us?

 

[gregjm87]

I will have to have a re-watch. At the time I thought it was just a really physically strong Warriors team having their way with us in the wrestle. I will keep an eye on the impact of the 3rd man in. In saying that, there should be some onus on us to be stronger in the contact and the wrestle because teams have identified that controlling the ruck is the key to beating us. It has been a problem for years.

I'm confused by the repeat sets in general and believe they are way too subjective.

If you look at the live game thread, Many of the blokes complaining about the refs after the game spent the first 15minutes commenting how we were getting physically beaten and that the Warriors looked bigger and stronger.
