With 30m to go....

That Olam tackle send off.......if it was a tackle by Cleary, Tedesco or a Trbojovic it probably be lucky to be a penalty.....not on report....not a sin bin and definitely NOT a send off!!

I'm finding harder & harder to believe there is not a concerted covert effort to drive the Tigers out of the NRL with the amount of bad calls we get from the refs, the bunker & the endless pounding of the club in the media.
Had Olam only been sin binned, Wests Tigers would have come away with the 2 competition points tonight!!
Well done to the boys, especially the young guns they should hold their heads high after tonight's performance, probably one of their best games of the season.

You may well be right ! It may fit in to expansion plans, the PNG Tigers has a bit of a ring to it !!!🤣🤣
 
Pisses me off we get 6 or 7 replays of olams shot but only one of the hit on Api by McIntyre and then that was a play or two later

We got shafted a bit tonite thankfully the bunker got the kneen double movement correct... Mr Magoo with the whistle had no idea
Not to mention the shepherd on api that the ref called but his peanut mate called it fair. Never fair put api off ran through in his right shoulder with arms in the air obscured his view hence obstruction! Seriously they have no idea, api takes a dive it’s a penalty all day. Also the papali stupid hog play should of been a penalty to us as everyone to the left were never on side, forcing paps to go in.
 
Why would the NRL allow that referee anywhere near a game involving the West Tigers & NQL is beyond me,
Wasn’t he THAT REF FROM 2 YEARS AGO WHEN WE GOT RIPPED OFF.
He sure was and Ashley was also in the bunker that night. Funny isn't it. I also saw when we scored our first try, Feldt flattened Olam off the ball. Put on report later but nothing at the time. No 10 mins.
I also have just watched Nelson for Storm hit a player high with force and only penalised. Three mins later he hits a player with shoulder with extreme force. No send off, no 10 mins, just on report.
The real truth is it depends on the colour of Guernsey. No wonder after many, many years of following league, I am now turning off. It is just not against the Tigers either.

All this bitching about the refs in here…not one mention of how pathetic our defence is.
You cant just blame the refs forever. Our players and coaches are the main reason we lose so often.

The usual suspects hovering in and around the top 4 ALWAYS seem to get the 50/50 calls go their way & their players tend to only get penalised instead of ten in the bin or only get ten in the bin when they should be marched for the game.

Teams well outside the eight always cop the rough end of the pineapple. Last year's Cowboys rip off, Casey Badger's woeful performance against the Dogs this season & the Olam send off take the cake.....but Wests Tigers seem to be on the end of more bad calls than any other team. Annersley has had to either apologise for some of the shocking decisions or he trips over himself trying to somehow justify "questionable calls" be they onfield or via the bunker.

It's bad enough the team isn't travelling that well but how many times have they been right in the game only to cop a string of bad calls leading to opposition points that just kicks the stuffing out of them and they just give up?

Naden is the human equivalent of what refs do to us.

Constantly copping dodgy decisions when the team have well & truly been in the game, even leading at times is soul destroying especially when our players are copping ten in the bin for something, if done by a Cleary, Trbojovic or Tedesco would have only copped a penalty and maybe put on report at the most!
It's a lot harder to defend with only 12 or 11 players on the field while still getting hammered with questionable penalties.

Perfect timing…
