No excuse for the on field refs not penalising a blatant hit to the face.

It's pretty good ay
Funny , brooks just got slapped in the face similar to Sezer and got a penaltydubby wrote: ↑June 14, 2019, 2:47 pm Sezer didn't deserve a penalty for that "high shot ", neither was Fifita for the "shoulder charge".
But, the sharks were offside a lot and getting away with a lot in the ruck

Plenty of players have been whacked in the face like Sezer was and been given a penalty. I think his reaction was as much about Cronulla's ongoing ability to wrestle in the ruck and stand offside for much of the game. There is no way we got the same latitude as they did in the ruck over the entire match. Not a chance.kiwi raider wrote: ↑June 14, 2019, 12:25 pm I don't think Fifita should have been penalised but i'm not sure there needed to be a penalty against us either as nothing really came of CNK running in apart from a bit of push and shove, I suppose since it stopped the game the Refs had to rule one way or another
Really not sure why Bateman was penalised for his stoush with Gallen either, Gallen started it and all Bateman did was a nothing push back, again I reckon the refs could have just told them to both cut it out and moved on without even stopping play
The main issues were the refereeing of the 10 metre rule(prior in particular ended up just about level with play the ball before we had even cleared the ball from the ruck a few times and Cronulla were taking the piss with how long they were holding down, midway through the first half after a turnover with the sharks backtracking Cotric was hung on to for an age, Brailey also multiple times lay over the tackled player way to long.
Yeah, he clearly was hit in the chops. Wasn't particularly hard, but it was high and careless. That penalty gets blown more times than not.gangrenous wrote: ↑June 14, 2019, 6:07 pm... awarded by the video referee.BadnMean wrote: Sezer face slap wasn't worth a report so can't be a penalty.

Fifita was being his usual dirty, bottom dwelling pig of a human self the entire night. Our reaction to him beaching himself like a demented whale all over Sezer was a build up of frustration in response to his borderline behaviour all night. It was harsh for CNK to be penalised for coming in, especially after Gallen got the worlds softest penalty against Bateman when Gallen himself lashed out in response to a good tackle.
Every now and again I can have a whinge about the reffing. Sometimes on reflection there is a bit of bias, but on Thursday night our boys had every right to be frustrated in how much latitude Cronulla were given after their inital 5 penalty burst.
Credit to our boys for composing themselves just enough to bring it home, but it was a seriously frustrating game to watch.

I think that most fans get that, but still have a right to unhappy with the overall performance.The Rickman wrote:Yeah, but the Storm have off games too, and they still more often than not find a way to win those off games.

I guess it's a sign of how far we've come. That's where we have to get to though isn't it. Standards are rising. The storm wouldn't have been happy with the last 60 last night if that was them.The Rickman wrote: ↑June 13, 2019, 10:23 pm We’ve won three games without Hodgson, one against one of the best teams in the comp. that was simply unthinkable last season.
It’s about times our fans started to enjoy our season for what it is
As I said, last night's game does so much more for the attitude and learning of this team than if they'd won 40-nil. Just wish some of our fans got that too.
Yeah, it does get a bit tedious.PigRickman wrote: ↑June 15, 2019, 8:36 amAnd if everyone did this the same way you did, we wouldn’t have a problem!Seiffert82 wrote: ↑June 15, 2019, 4:22 am

Every now and again people can and are probably warranted in having a gripe with officiating
The problem is this fan base, and as an extension, this site, have a major inferiority complex and it’s not every now and again, it is, quite very literally EVERY single week with a lot of posters
Which really takes the credibility away as a fan base when we actually do have legitimate gripes
If we win one or two of those games we probably make the eight but are really just making up numbers.RedRaider wrote: ↑June 15, 2019, 1:50 pm Sharks only had 48% possession but scored 4 tries to our 3. Not surprised that fatigue will impact on the players and hopefully they enjoy the 3 days off. They've earned it. I'm glad we are getting 2 'bye' rounds over the next 3 weeks to allow the players to freshen up. No easy matches in the NRL and our final 5 games will be testament to that. Roosters, Storm, Sea Eagles, Sharks, Warriors.

Refs evening up the count is definitely a thing. Sometimes they forget though. I was waiting for it when we played Manly but it never happened. Had no issue with penalties we conceded but it felt like Manly were under far less scrutiny.Seiffert82 wrote: ↑June 15, 2019, 11:45 amYeah, it does get a bit tedious.PigRickman wrote: ↑June 15, 2019, 8:36 amAnd if everyone did this the same way you did, we wouldn’t have a problem!Seiffert82 wrote: ↑June 15, 2019, 4:22 am

I think there is some merit to the whole ''even up the penalty count by the end of the game'' discussion, which is an entirely frustrating phenomenon to watch when the opposition is clearly intent on slowing the play down and breaking early in defence most of the night. Thursday's game was a classic example of that. Sharks got pinged early and then the whistles were put in the pockets until much later in the game.
Anyway, we lost our **** for 40 minutes of that game and managed to claw it back at the end. Good result I guess.
What was Greg Alexander blowing up deluxe for then? I thought it looked minor, if anything, at the time. Now it turns out no charge to answer. Terrible punditry.
Because he hates the Raiders, is a one-eyed flog, and uses any excuse to go after us.
He's not in any way "fair game" when he cops a forearm to the head, while lying on the ground, just "tackled", unprotected, after a shoulder charge. That's disgusting.
The NRL has got itself into this predicament with shoulder charges - who really knows what one is these days? Then Fifita launched at him on the ground, not high, after hitting him on the ground he did give Sezer a slight forearm to the face but I didn't think much of it. I seem to remember Fifita talking with Sezer directly afterwards and he (Sezer) didn't seem too bothered about it.greeneyed wrote:He's not in any way "fair game" when he cops a forearm to the head, while lying on the ground, just "tackled", unprotected, after a shoulder charge.

Usual disgusting tactics from the Sharks, and usual disgusting tactics from Fifita.
