The cooper cronk forward pass to harris to score in the first half. No excuses our first half was poor. But at the time i thought great another 6 points they will beat us by. But at the end of the game i was left asking myself, what if the pass had been called forward. Instead of 20-26 it would have been 20 all with everything going our way.

This game could have been ours if the refs made the correct call.

All that said our first half was well below nrl standard. JT needs to get fair up the boys in the video session this week
 
Who else but the Storm with more dodgy decisions against us. Just like Leichhardt but this game we were pretty much beaten at half time. I like the rest of us am glad that they responded and fought in the second half and made a game of it.
 
The other turning point possibly was the poor pass by Moses and then Marika runs 90 metres to score … We were threatening their line. At worst we should have had them working it out from their line or so.. So many ifs and butts. But you don't know how we would have gone if we were only 6-12 points down. We really did get the calls our way second half.. we are a momentum team but just can't grind it out or be solid enough during the tough times.
 
Meh, it happens.
Refs need to be better than that though.
 
It's just part and parcel of being a wests Tigers supporter …
Every game we get dudded some way or another
 
terrible call and yeah it made more of a difference than it looked like at the time, but the refs were definitely in our corner at the start of the second half.

I thought their first three penalties were soft as but we got a few second half to even it up a bit.

By the end of the 80 mins it was probably pretty even - moral of the story though is the officiating in the NRL is a joke - I wouldn't have been too happy even if we won
 
Definitely a forward pass, thought Lawrence might've gotten something on it too which could make the bunker call it a knock on.
That said, I thought Kev's pass to Nofo was forward too. It happens, and we never should've let it get to 26-0

Bunker should have just ruled on it. It was too obvious to turn a blind eye to.

They can't rule on forward passes, as obvious as it was.

I know it's a game of ifs and buts but you take out that try and Koro's try and we win.
 
A few tough calls. Strip on Woods at end was clearly wrong and given the way such plays have been called all year it was incredible it was called a penalty. Storm were 5 metres off side for Koro's try but refs never call those. Would have been interesting if video ref was asked to look at it.
 
Crap call but I am sure the Storm would argue we got a couple of calls in the second half. The bottom line we have to look at things we control,kicking out on the full from the kick off, Moses poor pass and two forward passes from dummy half, that is what lost us the game not the refs poor call.

We are a very lucky football team because if we can jag 50% of possession we have the attacking brilliance to beat any side and that is what we have to work at

That strip was a joke.

And Bwaif and co never said a word.

There was originally two defenders in the tackle, if one drops off you still can't strip the ball.
I didn't think we were dubbed by the Refs.
One of our tries was pretty suspect too. (Can't remember which one) but there was one
Refs are always the biggest excuses here.

The try we scored off the Vuni mistake came off a play you could arguably say we took one of their players out from the bomb. If that had been the other way around the forum would have blown up. We got some bad calls, but we had 1 or 2 go our way as well.
 
Koro lost the ball though..it just happened to end in Woods possession …seen plenty of those called loose carries this year..if it hits the deck ...Scrum..

As for the NFL TRY...you could almost hear Patton in the Bunker not want to give it...

We also got two undeserved penalties for high shots. Refs might have been poor, but not one-sided.
 
The storm press conference Cam complained about some of the 50/50 calls that went against them,
F****me what about that try.
There are no jurnos that have the guts to ask Cam about that try.
