That decision

Post by julian87 »

Is there anything Canberra fans can seriously do to hurt the NRL? Because I think it needs to be done.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

Nope. Nothing.
Ill be very interested to see what comes of that game from Greenberg. I think i know how that goes, but this is one of the rare occasions when the referees did decide a game with an inexcusable mistake.

I don't know what we can do do make it happen but until a competent board and CEO are appointed, we're no chance of being taken seriously.

Join the NRL in the mailing room, spend 30 years working your way up to CEO, then steer them into bankruptcy. Simple.

The only thing we can do is collectively boycott the next home game. That will draw attention but the club and players more than the NRL. And to be honest , by Monday we will have forgotten and look be looking forward to the next round. Also we got lucky with a few dodgy calls against the Bulldogs , in the long run it mostly balances itself out. the sad reality is we put ourselves in this postion, that our season would be decided by referee decisions rather than conistent peformances.

I really, really hate to be that guy. I hate to even try and call out the refs. I was so disappointed with how things were going earlier in the year that I tried to delete my account.

But this was just beyond belief. I can not still even fathom that it happened.

I honestly think a very public decision to do this might be the only thing.

That decision

Be better if someone could think of anything meaningful to aim at the NRL without also turning the back on the club at the same time. Not sure what

Also not sure which decision this thread is about.. could be so many

That knock on and that forward pass...... It's just sad. Really, really sad no matter what team you go for

Why?

Because it will happen again next week. And other poor bludgers like us will be disenchanted with the NRL

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.

I thought 3 of their first half tries were off suspect passes. Calling BJs forward in this contest was taking the piss. As Geoff said.. Their needs to be an investigation into this. There needs to be some accountability!!

The prospects of the Raiders playing finals has been on life support for weeks through no ones fault but their own. Every year we seemingly throw games away and put ourselves in position needing to win the majority of games to reach September.

And frankly I'm jack of it. Why can't we be the club to get off to a flyer to start a season ? StGeorge being 2018s example. It allows you to have an off day here and there. It allows you to rest players during Origin time. And when your club cops howlers from the refs it doesn't hurt so bad.

If we had of been leading by 30 last night those bad calls we copped last night wouldn't matter. But we weren't and it does matter.

We are done..and our first month of football is to blame. We need to be better in so many facets of the game. Then we can be in a position to brush off poor calls.

And the forward pass...

Well.

Melbourne beat Manly last week with a blatant forward pass.
Brisbane beat Parramatta a few weeks back with a blatant forward pass.

BJs ball last night was spot on the $$$....beautiful.

As bad as the flag decision was, and that was literally shocking... to call a beautiful 20m floating pass back as forward, like they did with BJ's, is a disgrace. The laws of the game and their interpretation by the refs should centre around rewarding good attack... to call that back, and in the same game as the "flag up" chaos... just wow. They should be dropped for 12 months, but they won't be. Refereeing is too political. They will be seen to have worked up over many years to have "earned" their NRL ref status, contributed to the referee associations etc, work hard at referee training... but who cares about all that if you make an absolute stinker

I get that people make mistakes but then they should be accountable

Croker was penalised last week for tackling a bloke in mid air..he was contesting the ball !!!!!!

Why can't these referees see what I'm seeing, it s right there in front of you ya muppet.

I'm adamant certain clubs are getting a smooth ride in this competition.

Sour grapes..sure. Jealous..sure. Angry..you better believe it.

I think what made the Leilua forward pass call worse was the fact that there were so many obvious indicators that it wasn't. Leilua passes the ball from about a metre behind the 10m line. It's caught - about a metre behind the 10m line, and the player catching it has to reach behind him to grab it. And yet somehow, that's "forward". ****.

I watch one game of footy a week and even that's destroyed with rot.

I'm over Greenberg as well. He should walk into BSuttons office on Monday morning and sack him. Then call the other two Suttons and sack them as well. Then announce he is standing down effective immediately...

They've lost the plot.

What are the dodgy calls we got lucky with against the Bulldogs?

Bulldogs scored off some very dodgy forward passes and got away with clear interference in the ruck causing incorrect PTBs. No one was out in the press after the Bulldogs game saying they were robbed by the refs.

Why are you trying to excuse last nights shocking refereeing with this claim about the Bulldogs game?

It’s so frustrating to see all of the forward passes we see let go game to game, so to see passes that clearly went backwards be called forward... 🤦‍♂️

Forget trying to hurt the NRL, but if you want to make a difference? Get your kids to grab a whistle and start reffing junior league games. Get down there and tell the parents on the sidelines to stop abusing the kids out there doing their best. The only way it gets better is if better referees come through, and that only happens if kids arent driven away from the game from people treating them like they do the bloke in the middle at an NRL ground.

Look, I agree with all that. But I just want to add... and it has to be said. The club, the fans, and the players all have to understand that the majority of NRL followers hate Canberra and through it the Raiders. Refs hate us, channel 9 hates us and a lot of the powerful people in the game hate us... and the NRL would be happy to see us fold. For the Raiders to be successful we have to overcome all those obstacles, just to get a level playing field!.
I dont like it. You dont like it. Its just the way it is.
The only way to hurt them is to win, win and win.
When we stop living in denial of that fact, then we have a chance.

It wasn’t necessarily forward, the referee just thought it might have been forward.

NRL officials from Raiders-Sharks game face standing down

The two NRL officials responsible for the controversial calls that cost the Canberra Raiders at Shark Park on Friday face demotion for the next round.

NRL referees boss Bernie Sutton confirmed on Saturday the Sione Katoa try should've been disallowed, while Brad Abbey's disallowed try should've been allowed.

Both proved crucial to the outcome, with the Raiders eventually losing 28-24 to Cronulla.
