The Officiating

last week the commentators went on about it and it was mentioned by everyone post match. This week no. I agree they should have gone upstairs but I don’t think it was a try,

Fox commentary said there was no reason to disallow the try and they where bewildered why it wasn't at the very least sent to video.
 
So, another possible try not looked at by the bunker.

Thought there was a possible Gold Coast touch of the ball and it could have been a fair try, but regardless of whatever happened, how was it not sent up stairs for revue by the bunker who seem to look at every other minute detail of play except when it is possibly of benefit to the Tigers.

We are a dumb uninspiring side but we don't deserve to be constantly duded by the match officials.
I'm so over the inconsistencies.
If tonight or lucy try last week was a grand final or SOO, are you telling me Mr Analsly that the bunker or ref wouldn't have looked at those possible tries. [even if proven wrong]
NO DIFFERENCE
 
Weak thread. The officials were fine in this match. The fact we haven’t seen a million replays of that try means it wasn’t a try. Name one other incident in the game that was a terrible decision.
The Gildart knock on that clearly went backwards. Various replays proved that. Until the knobhead video ref said that he'd knocked the ball backwards but run in front of the ball: whatever the hell that is supposed to mean. And went with the original dud on-field call. It's a disgrace.

Atkins hates us. It wasn’t just this game. I wasn’t paying a lot of attention but apparently he messed up the clock while we were taking that last penalty goal by not blowing time back on.

When he isn’t making bad calls he’s absolutely throwing the book at us, affording no leniency and pinging us for every minute technicality. The bias is quite clear especially when we’re playing his favourite team Parra. I haven’t looked at the stats but would love to see a comparison between him and other refs officiating our matches.

It’s almost as if they just roll with the “safe” option - they know we aren’t a quality side so just rule against us on any 50/50 call. Guilty until proven innocent, and sometimes they can’t even be bothered proving it

Maumalo taken early and without the ball by Thompson and it was ruled a knock on against us.

I thought we copped a few dud calls in the first half. Titans were walking off the mark all night and we were getting pinged for it through the ruck.

When Peachey was binned, the Titans player put the ball on the ground before getting to his feet too...

Okay I’ll address a few of the points made:

The Gildart non referral - yes should have gone to the bunker but having a look this morning it comes off Ken. No Try

Ken tackled without the ball by Corey - Corey hit him as the ball came in, it was maybe a half a second early.

The Gildart knock on - simple pass he should have caught. Goes forward, gets a finger to it to go backwards but goes sideways at best. Knock on for mine but the bunker ref explained it in a confusing way.

We were poor is the reason we lost in a terrible game not the ref.
 
Yeah nah, not this week. Anyone who thinks we aren’t an ill disciplined side needs to take the rose coloured glasses off. Just look at Peachy

The video ref even agreed that the Gildart one went backwards. Then he "ran in front of the ball" so it was a knock-on. What does that even mean? Would like to hear Annesley explain that to us all. BS decision, we are copping them every week.

How did that make any sense. He said it went backwards. That should be end of story. It went backwards but he ran to the left so Titans ball.
 
Gunna be time Maguire has a anti ref rant and give away a fine.

Might help keep them honest.

Might be a good look for the players too who look like they are accepting of getting rorted these days.

Need to fight back.

The rorts are getting consistent.
 
What about the sin bin? I thought penalty or 6 again at worst.
Unfortunately Brooks had already been warned prior to this that if we kept infringing that someone would go.

We were warned, but Peachy Keen was so looking forward to having a 10 minute breather that he couldn't help himself.

Players like him find a way to hurt us when they are playing against us and continue to do damage even when we are paying them.

I wonder if Cooper Gronk is going to pay out on Gold Coast for failing to put points on the board while we were down to 12 players.
 
Actually more I think about it an official complaint must go in now.

Can't have 50 50 calls consistently not sent to the bunker because it shows the officials have little regard for our club.

It's clear bias that needs to be stamped out now.
Absolutely, there's bias there for sure. The Bulldogs cop it as well from what I've seen.

Only problem is he would be made out to just be whinging. He needs to go in there with a list of stuff from these last 4 games. And there has been plenty to choose from.
