Officials Bias

Does anyone know what happened to Tino and his lifting tackle against us ?

The MRC found nothing wrong with the tackle

Ziggy Adamski should be nowhere near a Wests Tigers game 💩💩
The snake has money on the opposition
#Biased

Matt Cecchin always treated Tigers fair.
He was one of my favourites.
Disappointed he's not still around.
Saved us in the GF too !

Nothing, same with Dom Young's tip tackle

If you play positive attacking football, the calls are more likely to go your way. We need to closely examine our style of play.

I believe that too, a bit like boxing. The one who throws the most punches gets the points, usually.

The only positive about jacko's suspension is getting to see Jock's wares, and how much better he performs than veteran brooksey ...

Jock Madden, classy footballer.

Can't agree with that. Refs will shaft ya either way if they feel like it.

good thing stephen clarke has disappeared- he dudded the tigers on more than one occasion and would never admit fault.

Truth is the rorts only stopped when Fox controlled the game between 2000 till around 2009.

Before and since the playing field has hardly been level.

we've been on the end of some rough calls, like any other team. what I will say though is the past two weeks we have been well and truly dudded. Madge and Sheens need to tell Annesley that Grant Atkins should be nowhere near a Wests Tigers game. the bloke seems to dud us everytime he refs us.

Went looked at atkins penalty counts against tigers last 12 maths and its extremely lopsided against tigers like more than twice as many against

Agree with this. My feeling is if we had Melbourne's squad and emulated their play entirely we would be effectively run out of town.

At the same time if one captures the publics imagination with exciting play the authorities may get behind us, but hard to pull off as one has to not only be exciting, but also popular as we were in 05.

The only official bias I will accept is undivided support of our team in this, our forum.

From Fox sport, Quoting Gus on 100% footy.
It’s an opinion which resonated with Channel 9 commentator and Bulldogs general manager of football Phil Gould, who agreed with the Cowboys mentor.

“I know a coach, and I spoke about this last week, but I know a coach from one of the lower sides who actually rang (NRL head of football) Graham Annesley one day and just said we don’t get the rub of the green,” Gould told Channel 9’s 100% Footy.

“Graham Annesley in his own words said that there is an intrinsic bias towards the better teams. There is an intrinsic, nitpicking of the lower teams.

“If you think about penalty blitzes we’ve had over the years, we can go for the first 10 weeks of the competition and have 25-30 penalties a game and they’re blitzing on everything. We get to the Origin and they have five or six penalties and it’s a 10 times better game.

“Their excuse is, ‘Well they’re better players, they don’t cheat’. Well of course they cheat, but that’s their excuse to stop the penalty blitz.

“What I’m saying is there is an intrinsic thing that the battling team or the lower team is doing something illegal to bring the top team back to the field. And he (Annesley) admitted it.”

Storm invented wrestling techniques in tackles to slow the ruck (cheat) and they win games because they’re the best at it (cheating). Ironic hey.

Winning the collision is key and plodders don’t often do it.

It was Cecchin who reported Steve Southern for pushing Deano and it cost Tye Williams a try.

Good job then Chickenlegs! He was one of the better refs IMO.
