Bad ref calls in NRL

[Keithy P38]

Is it just me that seems to think the NSW teams have the boys in pink on their side?

A 7 tackle try caused my team to lose their opportunity at the grand final for the second year in a row (both times due to bad ref calls)...

I don't think ill be watching NRL next year, too many bad calls and pathetic rules to keep it "real"...

[isuzurover]

I can't see how they can allow the final result to stand when one of the tries should have been disallowed.

Either the score chould be changed to 16:18 or the game re-played...

Have to agree (my team also) That try score should have been disallowed and retracted.

I was always taught to play by the ref whistle........the refs are human and makes mistakes just like players....how many times does a players mistake change the outcome of a game??

[Saitch]

I find it hard to believe that EVERY official in charge of the match couldn't count. They wouldn't want the count to get to "8" would they, my fellow Cane Toads :D

all those officials, two years in a row, against the same team...

and they wonder why they are losing market share in spades...

I could understand with one Ref., but two Referees, two Lines men, two video officials? At no point did I think it was done on purpose, it was a mistake, but, goodness me, bring back Greg Hartley. Still, I suppose , we are talking about NRL, & not that other game. Bob

glad you think you get your moneys worth...

i still think its a disgrace and being a casual observer i don't back either of the teams... ;)

[SLOWBOAT]

I think that if the call was picked up by half time then the score line should be reversed. JMHO
If it is found out after the game then it has to stand.
I feel for the FNQ boys as some may never get another chance to play in finals.
I just hope something like this doesn't happen to us Storm this week or any other for that matter.
We don't want an all NSW final, or do they???????
:p

[trog]

Probably a "sideline" fix by the same team involved in the Vic. soccer affair. :twisted:

That's what I thought when I giggled at the news.
Perhaps the Feds should be looking at a few bank accounts.

But more importantly those blasted Silver Ferns beat us.

It probably isn't just you. I have no doubt that the majority of your team's fans think the same way. :D

However, there is a more likely explanation which is usually worded something like:
If you have a choice between a conspiracy and incompetence, according to popular wisdom, it’s generally safer to presume incompetence.

Like you, I won't be watching NRL next year, but then I didn't watch it last year or the year before that or ever. :)

karma.....

the world is at peace....





mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Ean Austral]

If everyone is so unhappy, why don't we adopt the USA gridiron rules where they replay everything and check it on the big screen , and in their case, make a 60 minute game last over 3 hours...

Just imagine how much fun a NRL game would be... :wasntme:


Cheers Ean

No conspiratorial bleating from those who were dudded this time. ;)

yea,, I noticed the front and back pages of the sydney morning herald complaining about a conspiracy,,

war print I think its called,,,

:angel:

[incisor]

they had nothing to whine about, they were outplayed and the refs got it right in comparison to the other weeks dismal performance ;)

and the icing on the cake was it was manly that put them to the sword !

[Bearman]

As you said Dave, karma, they got what they deserved tonight.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

they deserve to lose because the REFS made a mistake?
The refs have already admitted fault,
how is this ANYTHING to do with Cronulla?

karma would be the refs being dropped for any later games,
and they were.

Blaming cronulla for the refs mistakes is wrong.

[numpty]

Ahhhh Queenslanders, you've got to love em. :D

The Cowboys just weren't good enough this year, says Mal Meninga.





THE comments from North Queensland, and in particular their captain Johnathan Thurston, after the "seventh tackle" try last weekend were fuelled by pure frustration.

There was obvious frustration that the referees had made a mistake, and that was only compounded by the fact that match officials had made a costly error against the Cowboys in the same situation last year.

But I think a great deal of the Cowboys’ simmering anger from last weekend was created by the knowledge they themselves had let another season of opportunity slip.

What North Queensland’s storming end to the season, and the subsequent furore about the referees, did was disguise the fact that this year, and against Cronulla, the Cowboys just weren’t very good.

North Queensland were expected to challenge for the premiership this year, and the fact they are not doing so is a problem of their own making.


There is no doubt the Cowboys have the talent to be a top-four team, and had they finished higher up the ladder they would have been afforded the luxury of an extra life in the finals, instead of walking the tightrope of sudden death where one mistake – by a player or referee – can be a season’s death sentence.

But for much of the year, they did not play like a top-four team, and really only switched on to play near their best after the sacking of their coach Neil Henry – once everybody thought their finals chances were finished and the pressure was released.

It was the same against the Sharks.

While no one is denying denies the referees made a huge blunder in awarding that try on the seventh play, it must be remembered the Cowboys were still in front late in the game and, if they were a genuine finals team, would have closed it out.

They had another chance to win the game in the dying seconds, and simply weren’t good enough to take it.

I’m not here to pour salt into the Cowboys’ wounds.

But a week’s worth of hindsight would probably have most of the Cowboys players thinking they should have never let themselves fall into a situation where their destiny was taken from.

The referees made a shocking mistake in a very big match, and have been punished and publicly chastised for it.

But were they to blame for North Queensland’s season being rated a disappointment? No. Having said that, I can also understand why Johnathan and other Cowboys had such an emotional response to what unfolded last weekend.

Winning a premiership is so tough, and the window to challenge for one so narrow, you cannot afford to waste any chance to win one.

The Cowboys know this, and they also know for two years in a row they have let good opportunities slip.

Being the first-ever Cowboys team to win the premiership would be the ambition burning within each North Queensland player – because it would mean so much to their community and their fans.

It is something I was lucky enough to experience with Canberra in 1989 – being in the first-ever Raiders premiership team. It is one of the most special moments of my career.

I still recall what it meant to Canberra fans that their team had finally broken through to be rated as “the best”.

It was the same the first time Penrith won in 1991. The same for Brisbane in 1992 and Newcastle in 1997.

They are the victories for the ages, and what every player dreams of being a part of.

But they are not victories decided by moments or mistakes – they are built over entire seasons, and sometimes over many years.

That is what makes them grand. North Queensland will climb that mountain eventually too, but it won’t be theirs until they treat every game as if it was their last.

Blaming cronulla for the refs mistakes is wrong.

who has blamed cronulla... ?

the karma is that those who profited, didn't in the long run

you sensitive uptight cronulla fans need to chill out.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

you people are very selective on which refereeing mistakes you wish see retribution

[SLOWBOAT]

The Melbourne game on Saturday was also a poor game to watch. Sitting at the game people were blaming the ref's for lots of poor decisions but they were only matched by our poor form. Yes the ref's were bad but so were both teams playmaking and the amount of sloppy plays, incomplete tackle counts, dropped ball, hits behind play, blocking of the playmakers etc. it was one of the most non enjoyable games to watch. Good on Newcastle for holding on for the win but I feel Roosters will wipe the floor with them next week if they play like they did on Saturday night.
