What a circus! The referee is looking more lost than curtis Scott did last week and that is saying something! Why does every blockbuster have to get ruined by the referee's performance. Good grief. That sin bin call was dead set disgraceful.

Geez not getting the rub of the green this game.

Storm getting away with a lot in the ruck and are obviously allowed to throw clear forward passes.

It's been appalling
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 think that is possibly the single worst video ref decision I've ever seen. It's one thing to cop the howler, but the howler and the unnecessary 10 in the bin...

Last time we had to rely on Havilli for an extended period it wasn't great. He does have a bit more help in the halves this time though.

Just as I predicted. The 6-again is consistently applied unless Storm or Roosters are playing - could potentially throw Rabbits in as well. The ruck has been terrible tonight.

Hodgo has quite literally just done a campo. I think our season may have just burst into flames.. this would only happen to us.

Repeatedly. With Vaseline.

This is a double blow.

Havili has done such a good job as our forward and now we have lost him as forward.

This is the worst.

Mate he is 10 levels above having a waddell or buttriss. Havili is up there with the best hooker depth you could ask for really..

On the flip side (if there is one) - I think as fans we can watch without the anxiety of expecting us to win every game now, and hopefully that'll also loosen the team up a bit too with the way they're playing.

I think Havili was good last time, but Hodgo's absence was used as the excuse for the year

Appreciate the permission botty!

What a pack of useless geese. How did they mess that all up so bad?
I can not FATHOM how anyone looked at that replay and felt Simo was deserving of a sin bin... Brandy was apoplectic

How bad a call does it have to be to get Brandy upset about a call against the raiders

Yeah, nothing wrong with him. It's just a tough ask to replace Hodgo.

Watching the replay maybe the video ref wanted the Storm sent for ten? Simonsson was going for the ball, Addo-Carr was the one playing the man...

Maybe everyone shouldn’t have been so up in arms about AFB’s ‘slur’ and more worried that he had a point.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

I don't get how we get a time violation for the scrum. Melbourne does the exact thing at the line drop and then the ref calls time off.

I'm still hopeful we will get beaten by less than 30 because you said we'd win.

This club simply cannot string two good seasons in a row together anymore.

I know they’ve made some errors, but I’ve been really impressed with the line speed, attitude and power of our forwards. They haven’t left anything in the tank. Which hasn’t always been the case for our forwards.
