Just to underscore the corruption and double standards.

Watching the Eels vs Cowboys game and F$&k I can’t stand Clint Gutherson and his milking Eels team mates.

Laying down everytime to get a Penalty, whining at the ref at every moment they get. Clearly Brad Arthur coaches them to lay down. Absolute disgrace of a team

Actually that reminds me of the incident on Thursday where Kez kicked and a player attacked his leg but no dive so no penalty. I think the commentator said it could have ended up like Ilias from Souffs.

I'm starting to get on board with those calling on Easts to start milking penalties instead of meekly surrendering to the garbage decisions the refs come up with to cheat us.

By the way, I don't give a stuff who wins the game. Just for once I'd like to see some consistent refereeing and application of the rules.

Johnson is running around like a 3yo.

[Carlos Parra]

Sean Johnson makes an attempt at a 2 point field goal to draw with Manly. Long after he's kicked it, a Manly player coming through has no alternative but to run into Johnson's elevated leg and bodies fall to the ground. Johnson rolls around clutching his shin in agony so the ref sends it to the bunker for a review who, of course, declares it a penalty for the Warriors right in front (ie: where the ball landed after the failed attempt).

Johnson converts the penalty with the same leg he pretended he couldn't walk on just seconds earlier.

The match now goes into extra time.

Absolute garbage double standards by NRL officials. Same basic set of circumstances as was the case for Easts on Thursday night - the only difference being that Collins was 100% irrefutably, undeniably hurt in a head shot and blood was drawn, but somehow our ref completely ignored it.

Christ this game shits me to tears at times.

Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong thread/section, I was too angry to figure out where I was typing.
