The reffing in this game is next level bad, as is our defense. Only one side is been reffed in the ruck.

Not that I have an issue with the try but you can't watch the American replay 80 times and not have sufficient doubt.

Rubbish call. The ball is held against Saifiti due to BJs arm

Wow, this difference of attitude by refs to certain Captains needs to be looked at.

The disrespect to our Captain and the way the refs act kinda tougher would no way, no way be the same to others.

It's just such a crap shoot.

That goes up 10 times it comes back 5 yes and 5 no.

Same thing happened to the Broncos earlier this year. It was very very similar, yet it was correctly called a no-try

Smith or Thurston would have gotten red lights.

Oh please. Nothing wrong with anything he's done tonight.

Let's see, he was holding it very precariously when you could last see his hand, combined with where we saw the ball moved to it is physically impossible he held that. Plus it was sent up as no try by the referee and there was no video proof he had possession so it can't be overturned.

That's why.

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.

Rapana is winger of the year, not vunivalu, but the latter would get the award Bull

57th min Raiders show they had no idea what to do in the red zone. NOW they do!

TRY RAIDERS to Jordan Rapana! Austin to Wighton to Rapana! The power play works again!

Croker on the sideline... it's low but it's straight! Goal!

Raiders 32-16

Maybe in order to get respect from the refs you have to disrespect the refs and treat them with contempt. It works for Cam Smith.

It wasn't referred for the put down and the refs was standing right there. Less controversial to give a try.

Yeah probably
But it was sent up as a no try and there was nothing to conclusively disprove that call... that's the rules of the game.
