    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

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    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???????

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

    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.

    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.

    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"...
    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.

    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...


    Cheers Ean
