LIVE GAME Rd 11 Magic Round discussion *spoilers*

[Telltails]

Wow the bunker gets one right

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Is it just me or does it feel like the ref's these days have an unconscious bias towards a team that on paper should win or are NRL darlings at the time

Surely this can't be right.

 

[gregjm87]

You cannot tell me officiating does not determine games after that, wow that was a shocker

But it didn't determine the game

 

[Speed2burn]

But it didn't determine the game

It could have, it was a terrible decision . Cows were resilient all game, something we could only ever dream of

I don't think so. I think refs generally make dozens of poor calls a game. I wouldn't necessarily say they even out but they certainly go both ways.
The good teams show resilience and get on with it. The ones that 'should' lose typically can't defend mistakes (their own or the refs) and hence do end up losing. So people point to the poor decisions and say that's why they lost ignoring the poor decisions that went in their favour.

You're making too much sense greg, unfortunately for us the truth hurts. At the start of the season a lot of ref decisions went our way for wins.

 

[Wezt]

Jeez Storm are back to their best

I reckon they make the top 8

 

[innsaneink]

This is the game they've created


Just like Heaths send off
Nothing in it, rules are rules

Soft

Gough ignores the shot clock at the scrum...not that i have a clue what thats about

 

[Demps]

He hates Moses

 

[Telltails]

Harry Grant taking over where
Cam Smith left off with the refs

 

[jadtiger]

He hates Moses

You can't blame anyone for that,in fact i would say it is a compliment

 

[innsaneink]

He hates Moses

Hes not on his pat

 

[69-05-41]

Looking at the games, Clifford > Luai

Clifford the big red dog > Luai

 

[Telltails]

Mistake - a - thon of a game.

 

[innsaneink]

Jeez Storm are back to their best

I reckon they make the top 8

Nowhere near their best
Theyre struggling against 15th placed parra

 

[Flippedy]

Neither of these teams would worry the top sides. Just shows how bad we’re going that Melbourne could put over 40 on us.

 

[Tucker]

Geeze these guys are stroking this young fullbacks ego but fair dinkum, he has been dreadful until that run.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

My God, Ennis’ fake laugh. Seriously, just kill me

 

[Telltails]

Geeze these guys are stroking this young fullbacks ego but fair dinkum, he has been dreadful until that run.

Yep he is heart in mouth all the time - but then he does something like that.

 

[innsaneink]

One good game out of five
Cowboys Roosters
Very tough and gritty the cowboys
