Two very poor decisions

The bogus forward pass call that cost us a try and the non sin binning after Tedesco's long break cost us dearly today. Seeing James' neck swing in the arm of an eel was pretty poor too, but not quite as poor as lack of action from our players and particularly none from the captain.
 
Captain?….did we have one?

Agree with the sin bin that wasn't.

Didn't have a problem with the forward pass.

Turning point for me was when we didn't take the 2 to put us 14 up.

At the end of the day though we have too many reserve graders posing as NRL players.
 
Taking or not taking the 2 had no impact on the result, we still would have gone down if we took it IMO.
Even though at the time I was screaming at the telly to take the two and I txt my Parra supporting mate that it could be the turning point.
I think the turning point was McIIwrick being replaced, we went ordinary in both attack and defence from then on.

We're just not an 80min team are we.
 
That was clearly a pro foul…Cummins screwed us multiple times today...I guess when you 5/8 AND the ref is against you a 4 point loss aint too bad really

The game was gone when teddy copped the old fashioned coat hanger ,.moses had plenty of time to close that game but didn't know how to…the not going 14 up was the turning point no doubt ...and who had the ball in their hand ..Moses ..and he was never going for the two ...

I noticed that NO protest from Woods on the Tedesco coat hanger …. what a lousy captain we have
 
Cummins did not referee the last 10 minutes. We should have had a few key penalties and a sinbinning that he refused to call. Liddle ran straight at an offside player right in fron of us and Cummins blatantly cheated by not blowing a penalty. It was as clear as they come.

Yep he's really disappointing as a supposed leader of our team and forward pack
 
Still think its mainly a forward problem. Every week mid second half we hit the wall and the mistakes start coming.

Yeah, that was another poor one, with a couple of our players raising their arms questioning what th…...... to no avail.
 
The other poor decision was the penalty on Taylor for supposedly interfering with the man playing the ball. It was a classic tackle and he had no way of getting out of the way and avoid the milking that took place. Parra scored in the next six.

The coat hanger was a just a side issue and I whilst after being called back for no reason after taking the quick tap, I would have taken the two, I don't think Moses went against a call, nor cost us the game at that point.
 
O well this side is t going to play in the finals so I suppose at the end of the day it doesn't matter how they lost …I look forward to Cleary building us into a competitive team who turns up every week

Yeah, another harsh one.
 
Moses tried to take the quick tap twice before he took it. Woods wasn't on the field then. We need co captains. My vote ET.
