Yes.
It's not a case of who got the better/worse calls IMO.
It's an argument about how the occasion got the better of all the officials.
Too many finicky rules & 50/50 rulings to be made for these guys. They are out of their depth when the speed & pressure ramps up.

Maybe some of the 6 agains they got were a bit harsh but mostly they were just dominant in the tackle and were running through us in attack. I didn't see anything particularly in terms of holding down or warranting a six again. We had very little control of the game after API went off.
Hate the Curran no try. I know that's a rule but that's so soft. Classic Klein nitpicking intervention and it saved us big time.
We desperately need to do something on the Sione edge. That's two weeks in a row where our edge has just been absolutely dominated. He is so sloppy in his tackling and with that erratic first contact on tackle 1 we're just getting run over.
Api and Bula are so valuable, such terrific players.
Turuva and Skelton were also excellent. Skelton came up with some massive runs.
Terrell at the end had some really important hit ups. He doesn't look as strong as he plays, had some great tackles at important times too.
Galvin slowed them down, if they had a proper halfback I don't think we get close to them.

They were both very high counts.
Bollard missed 8, a prop.

I feel like Benji watched the game from the sideline without a million replays so he didn't see the game we saw it.

Far out if we didnt have bad luck with injuries we wouldnt have any luck at all. This is crazy. I cant remember a season our players were falling like flies.

Yep, all the Doggies supporters were pissed that none of their tries were replayed, although the disallowed ones were. One good thing at the game tonight was the music. They finally gave the "best of 1982" cassette a week off.
It is very annoying. Pay your money to go to the match and don’t get to see replays

Well wasn't that a nail biter, was feeling the pressure and fearing the worst but the boys held it together.
Some outstanding efforts in defence saved the win for us.
Some good choices Benji made from the bench I thought, with the injuries and head knock, at one point we were in quicksand and on came big Royce at the perfect time.
I know he doesn't play big minutes but he provides good impact, I want him around next season.

Now the Dogs are pretty much dusted for the season and Maka will be out for a few weeks with an AC we should be targeting Xerri. Maka and May are busted. Long term we need a right centre anyway.
Nexf week will be a beat down penrith are resting players this week. They will put 50 on us. No Taylan May, Makasini, Twal, Sione Fainu, Douihei, Sam Fainu. Thats 6 of our 17 out.

Fully sounded like the forum in a referee meltdown haha
Digging into the stats. We had to tackle for 10 more sets than them, completed at 89% and our kick defusal compared to theirs was night and day. Given Burtons dangerous kicking game and some of their classy edge players, that win looks a bit better than maybe it felt. 0-7 on set restarts too. Wests Tigers don’t win those in the past.
You think its a ridiculous rule when in the past weve seen some shocking injuries from this action which is why it was brought in
Thankfully Luai wasnt hurt tonite...it doesnt always end in an injury.....
The only thing predictable is your hypocrisy in targetting people discussing refereeing and you calling people sooks when you did the same thing the other night...and then pathetically tried to absolve yourself
Youre a joke...

Exactly. It’s the rule and it was ruled correctly. I’m suprised Luai wasn’t iniured severely. His leg distorted awkwardly from the contact.
Under more pressure than Clive Palmer's belt buckle!
Yes believe it or not the bunker (Klein) was our friend tonight lol. We did get more penalties as well, including one right in front of the posts, which everyone seems to be forgetting.
He's no chance on the evidence of his first stint. He was gassed deluxe. Hard to believe with having 4 weeks off. Looked he is carrying a bit of pud around the gut. Funny that he said he was ok when asked in the presser.
