Could the NRL refs be any worse?

[bonehead]

I was actually astonished that none of the on field officials seemed to have seen the incident that incurred the sin binning. It was pretty obvious.

i thought the sideline official was advising the ref of it?

Might have. I thought it was the bunker so I could be wrong. Still, it happened right in front of the ref.

At the ground my impression was it had to have been the bunker given how long play continued for. I don't know what the clowns were looking at.

Archer was on 2sm said main ref was focused on the ruck and the touchie's mic didn't go through to main ref properly so the bunker heard the touchie and relayed it. Some technical difficulty excuse

[Coastalraider]

The fact that we are praising the effort of the referees after what was an acceptable performance speaks bounds for their abilities.

Let's not forget these following facts:
- 3 incorrect on-field decisions were overturned by the bunker. Probably did it to show that their mobile bunker is effective.
- perretts forgotten knock on. Not overturned.
- Reynolds bum finger.
- Klemmers face punch. No bin.
- Williams trip. No bin.

Very true Tjoobie,
if we lost, I for one would be screaming about these anomalies.

Where was the ref standing for Reynolds sexual moment?
I saw it live, and surely the 50 cameras saw it, should have been pulled up, I actually like Reynolds and how he punches above his weight, but thats not a good look for the game. Suspension for sure

Williams...obvious trip, the cameras would have see that too. Suspension, along with his other discretions on report

Klemmer, hard to see if it was a punch, the bunker have different angles, why not pulled up at next play the ball and sent off if a punch or at least on report and a sin bin?

Bulldogs should have possibly had 11 players on the field at one stage.

So in hindsight, there was some glaring errors by the refs, game changing errors in fact.

I thought the footage of the Reynolds sexual moment was taken from the refs head cam?? Pretty glaring miss if that was the case....

[CJ42]

Hey GE, how come the bunker never overturns onfield decisions in favour of the Raiders??

They gave us one last night, can think of atleast two clear (seeing live and one replay) bad calls that could have been overturned. They should be doing it every 50/50 in every game, it literally takes less than 10 seconds.

I think kent gave himself up as a gh lurker tonight on 360, too much coincidence to the language used on here

He definitely had a crack at GE about Reynolds and Sezer.

Right hot on the heels of Legend having a crack at GE on his podcast about FPN.

GE's a celebrity!! And I rode in his car before he was famous!!

I'd guarantee the reason the refs didn't want to see Klemmer's punch was purely to avoid having to have 2 players from one team in the bin at the same time. Definitely in the too hard basket for them.

[Ultima]

The ref's did alright today, with a lot of assistance from the bunker as well as some luck going our way for a change. Still, if we get ref performances like that every week I'll be happy.

I think the major factor is we won. I have no doubt this thread will get a bump next loss.

This thread was started after a win, been active all year after wins, I like to think I abuse the refs weather we win or lose if they deserve it...

[pickles]

Can't believe they penalized klemmer for the punch but didn't use the bin. Was definitely a head in the sand moment from the refs. I guess they wanted to get out of belmore alive but if BJ deserved 10 in the bin that definitely did!

Yeah, that was a clearcut 10 in the bin. They didn't even review it!

But how good was Shannon Boyd, getting a punch in the **** face and just laughing at Klemmer!! "Is that all you got, princess?"

[CJ42]

Boyd sure ruffled klemmers feathers!

At one point in the show Ikin sided with Ennis on something so Kent accused them of being in some kind of clique

Ikin and Ennis just both did the Jags guy

We'd love you over at The Professor and the **** party, gangrenous. No pressure mate, take your time.

Yeah, you can even take RC's spot!!

Hmmm... Interesting proposal. What is your policy on helicopter rides?

You know your political party is struggling when they are looking for the gangrenous demographics vote

By 2018 we pledge to have all illegal immigrants arriving on our shores by helicopters. We truly will stop the boats.

Gee I hope that's been edited and it's not your entire attempt at a post.

I'm not sure what demographic you think I appeal to, but I'm very popular with women* and that's half the voting population**.

[The Nickman]

Gangrenous, you'll always have a place on the backbench of the clique.

Despite what everybody else around these parts says or thinks about you, I think you're ok.

[gangrenous]

Thanks... I think...

[Ultima]

This Mounties games really shows what different a ref deciding you get zero of the calls does... Decided that ever tackle was suddenly late, every ball striped is lost for us, every ball taped with a foot is a knock on and then it goes from 36-0 at the 57th minute to 36-32 in the 78th... I mean the Manly players even threw some punches and nope... It's all good, they are totally allowed, and our player gets put on report for a "late tackle" which was beyond pathetic and we get penalised....

[Rick]

I can't believe everyone gets so caught up on the bunker decisions where it's is ones like about which really control a match.

There's the difference between referees for you.

We get two players held back blatantly and nothing, not even a penalty. Tigers players held back by the Storm, penalty, 10 mins in the bin, and the ref contemplating a penalty try.

Not suggesting that us getting those two penalties would necessarily have changed the outcome of the game, but the first one on Hodgson in particular was a 12 point turnaround.

[Notaroboticfish]

How the **** is that not a penalty?

[Ultima]

How the **** is that not a penalty?

Which bit?

[Notaroboticfish]

The panthers field goal

[Ultima]

That was more on the bunker than the refs... The refs sucked but not as hard as Lee and Sezer did.

[CJ42]

How the **** is that not a penalty?

"if two or more players form a wall (side by side) next to the play the ball and don’t allow the opportunity for a defending player to move directly towards the player in possession, the referee will penalise for obstruction".
