Referees

[Guest]

Agree with this, but after 5 years i'd say they pretty much tell the whole story.

3 of those 5 years Smith has been at the helm...

Your point being ?

Then how do you explain the lack of penalties received in that same period, especially against other undisciplined teams.

And what about the other 2 years when Smith wasnt coach?

Anyway i've had enough of you. As is said its like argueing with a brick wall, except the brick wall wont keep throwing uneducated comments at you.

In the first 16 minutes today we were 4 - nil down on the
penalty count that's a penalty every 4 minutes, are the
refs now working on a quota system when they draw our
games.
I didn't bother to watch the rest solely because of the
decisions made by the refs, what's the point because no
matter what they are going to destroy the game.

The forward pass rubbish calls are what get me most.

Two today and one against the Sharks were all crucial in the contexts of both games.

I dont know how/why the officials can get this so wrong. Just let them go ala Rugby union....unless the receiver is actually standing in an offside position or the ball is deliberately thrown forward. Both these scenarios very rarely happen.

Shouldnt be that difficult.

Unfortunately Jack, it seems as though it is.

Can you read? Clearly said on a couple of times his sides have not been discipline over the years.

You recieved 9 penalties today against another undisciplined team, so you all focus on the 3 ''forward'' pass calls which happened to every team in every game.

You really are a bit slow arent you.

I'm pretty sure Andrew was referring to the 2 years that Smith WASNT coach.

How many teams this weekend had 3 crucial & incorrect forward pass calls go against them?

Broncos... 6 vital points conceeded off a blatant forward pass in what was a low scoring game.

That 1 call proved more pivotal then the 3 combined against the roosters.

I'm sure if I sat down and watched the whole game of every game I would find 3 incorrect forward passes against 1 team in a match. Hell we played the Storm last week so i'm sure Smith should of been pinged a few times for forward passes but didn't so that went against the cowboys......

We arn't complaining and we won, total opposite to the roosters

As usual your a bit slow there. 1 call cost us a try, the other resulted in a try to Penrith in the resulting play.

Anyway if you dont like what people have to say on here just p1ss off back to the Cowboys forum.

[Guest]

So it cost you 4 possibly 6 as the kick would of been from the sideline, and you had the chance to defend the other one but couldn't. Good teams do.

Brisbane had a open field call go against them where Mead ran the distance untouched costing them 6 points in a closely fought contest. They also had a questionable 8 point try go against them where I have seen worse infringements go unpunished.

Never said I didn't like what some duluded and biased fans say on here. Its good for a chuckle or 2 especially after yet another poor game by them but it somehow deflects back onto the refs lol.
