Why on earth is Brenton Speed calling a Preliminary Final?

Aren’t Smith and Voss clearly the two top callers at Fox?

Was wondering that Fergus.

If Jack Wighton shoulder charged Feki he'd be suspended

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

This refereeing is reminiscent of the Raiders Semifinal loss to Storm in 2016.

Easy penalties to Storm and when they make a mistake, the refs cover up for it. Don’t worry if Billy drops the ball he can have a replay.

Remember when Cam Smith dropped the ball cold against the Raiders and Hodgson suddenly got penalised for a hand on the ball.

If Fifita made a tackle like that you'd be of different opinion
