Terrible ref

[AmericanHistoryX]

We did sought of.. just how boring to blame the ref year after year for your incompetence. They are terrible, yes, we seem to mostly agree, but when it becomes a theme, the team does not have to take responsibility. Easier to blame someone else...

I don't think Bateman is the man.

Bateman is about the last bloke in the side i would give the captaincy to,he is a hothead in a position where you need diplomacy respect and calmness.He seems to have zero of those qualities

 

[Speed2burn]

Leadership is a huge issue. Captaincy is as well. It’s been a long time since we have had a good captain of this team. Someone who can express themselves without appearing aggressive or sooky.

I do think we lose our shit easily with bad calls and find it hard to recover. This is where a solid leader would help us cool our jets

The problem is I don’t see where we can find these people, Luai will be just as fierce as Batemen and can’t see him being able to cool our players

Even if he was being balanced and conciliatory in his exchanges with the match officials it would make no difference because they would have no clue what he was rabbiting on about anyway.

Just offer Isaah Yeo a shit load of money to come over here and it solves our problems at #13 at the same time.

I’m not so sure about that. There is a victim mentality present. There seems to be a lot of chat between the team and the ref and it doesn’t seem to be based on respect. If you think the officials are out to get you, it’s hard to be cordial in your interactions with them.

You're right, but it's probably frustration creeping in where we need calls to go our way to compete in some games, and the inevitable luck of the draw when it comes to ref errors probably impacts us more because we struggle as a team in the first place.

Every team gets bad decisions. At 50-0 they don't matter. At 14 all or down by 10, which we often are, they simply have more impact and we are constantly heard saying, if that call went the other way, the game would be different.

We just have to get better and the ref is taken out of it anyway.

I believe it was 3.

It was. Benji explained in the presser on the 3rd one we had to argue we still had our challenge available.

Yes. Yes. Yes...

We fans feel the pain.
But what can our club do?

Sign better players.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Like the Dolphins...

Does anyone not see how often Teddy loses it with the referees, DCE, Foran Elliot Whitehead on Friday night?.
Gets tiresome bagging our own when he is trying to defend the team especially when each time it was justified. We deserve everything we get if we are not prepared to back out own ahead of incompetency. It's the one thing I don't like about Api as captain cops all the crap dished out without question.

 

[hank37w]

We just need to throw our arms up in the air at every play the ball, works for King Gutho and Queen moses.

 

[Telltails]

'We are not arguing': Klein has no time for Teddy, threatens to penalise him after ludicrous advantage ruling

Even Nine's Andrew Johns and Fatty Vautin had to side with James Tedesco here as Ashley Klein allowed the Broncos to take a healthy…

Serious question.,
Why do you people think that we are picked on by officials?
Why us in particular?
Badger even said on mic yesterday words to the affect - I’ve tried to work with your team the whole first half, get them to get it together.
It seems to me that our club has forged a reputation as being difficult to officiate.

Because the team is shit. Two types of penalties.
1st Players infringe when they are getting beat playing within the rules. Being shit means we get beat often.
2nd Poor discipline. When teams get on top they aim to maximise this advantage. The good teams are well drilled in doing so. The shit teams, not used to being in this position, become overzealous and concede penalties through their enthusiasm e.g. leaving the line to quickly.

Therefore leadership is missing... Winning starts in the office.... cliche I know...

Terrible, terrible performance From the “referee”
pretty average from us though, she didn’t lose it for us.

She cost us momentum and caused frustration countless times during the game. If the officiating was more subjective, it's impossible to know what the end result would of been.

Put her in charge of the top game next week.

Will never happen , the top clubs would scream blue murder,
