Ref con job

[Black_Orange_White]

I feel cheated out of a 14 point victory. I FEEL CHEATED. I watched the game, and I was in shock in the 2nd half. They got 3 penalties in 4 tackles, from their goalline to ours, they scored soon after.

When Burt missed the kick, it was off a dodgy penalty.

If we lost, I would seriously have sent a letter to the NRL about the refs.

The football Gods were on our side when Burt sprayed the kick wide, terrible penalty, he lost it cold.

 

[RatedRKO]

If we lost that game…. I don't know what I would do.

Agree. Hayne not finding touch was justice too.

 

[softlaw]

Absolutely atrocious display by those idiots supposedly controlling the game.
They were terrible.

 

[Sabre]

If the NRL are serious about having consistency with the referees Shayne hayne will be dropped

 

[farahfan]

I thought the ref turned in a solid performance for parra today
if they had won he would have got MOM for sure

Even with the ref against us, we still sent the Eels packing…I can't remember a better feeling this year :wink:

 

[stryker]

I'd go as far as calling them cheats for their display today….

 

[Eddie]

I was at the game and i can't ever remember being so angry at the refs.

Burt missing the goal was the biggest piece of justice in a long long time.

What a sweet win, but my main emotion is fury at a disgraceful 7-0 penalty count in the second half. I coulf not believe what i was seeing. Mateo dropped the ball, Tahu knocked in on in goal, They were 5 metres offside to take the intercept. Piggy back after piggy back.

Our boys were against 15 men in the last 20\. What a sweet win

I was thinking 'and they call Melbourne cheats…'.

 

[Black_Orange_White]

Even Gus Gould was questioning the decisions - saying it all went to Parramatta.

 

[Fraze23]

i honestly dont believe that we were that ill disciplined that we lost the penalty count 9-3\. But the stupid penatly that fulton gave away when he kicked the ball out of the play the ball coming off our own line was the turning point.
I don't think the media gave us the recognition we desereved. It was a tough, gritty hard fought win that we deserve credit for. Well done tigers

Agreed Fraze, that was pathetic from an experienced player like Liam.

Don't let the result stop you.

Hope some Tigers fans will be calling in Talkin Sport on 2sm when Bill Harrigan comes on on Monday. Interesting to see what he makes of it.

yep that was just stupid, i thought he + the refs had cost us the game for sure.

 

[senexx]

Well I often think about becoming a ref but I'm sure the politics of referee school wont let me as I'd rule according to the written word in the rule book not some interpretation the referee's boss sends down from on high.

Shane Hayne should be sacked from the refereeing ranks altogether.
Robert Finch should stand down from referee's boss but he can still be part of the team.

That is true but by the same token it wasn't a tackle it was a change over and the ref should have waited until everyone was on side. Another example of the ref being the 14th man for Parra.

 

[prattenpark]

I actually don't think they did that bad a job. Fulton kicked the ball, first penalty. Fifita rolled over the top of the tackled player instead of rolling to the side, second penalty. I can't recall the next one.
And, the head on shot clearly shows a Tigers player with his hand all over the ball in the tackle that led to the penalty where Burt missed the goal.
We had our fair share of 50/50 calls go our way in the first half - we got at least 2 dubious stripping penalties.
We were also lucky we weren't penalised on the last play of the game as we clearly took out a Parra player.
I would have been more frustrated with our 3 bombed tried than any refs decision.

If Robbie had his time again he would have grounded the ball over the line using his chest rather than trying to grab the ball and force it however he deserves plenty of slack for his great game once again- what a champion
