.....thanks to the Titans beating the Dogs tonight we can not drop out of the top 4. That is all.

nice to know

I watched the titts / dog game last night and saw some of the shyttiest reffing ever.

its looking like the refs have a team they want to win the game, and if the other ref has the other team its a battle of the refs trying to get their team over the line..sucked in dogs... but they were carried all night

Ever since Harrigan the Living planet turned it into a strokefest, the Ref's have become preening peacocks who use their power to massage their ever expanding egos. You see them out on the playing field before the game stretching and jogging, wanting more than just Matt Checcin to check out their arses.

I remember a time when other than Darcy Lawler (who ran afoul of Stan "the Man" Smith) and Barry Gomersall (who was just doing what Joh Bjelke-Petersen wanted) you didn't know who the Ref's were.

I still don't know who they are.

Tell that to Col Pierce, Keith Page & Greg "the original Hollywood" Hartley!

Thats the way it should be , unfortunately these days they are developing into super stars in their own right , as they are influencing the outcome of more games than most clubs marque players.
Every Club should get one !

[milanja]

should get international refs to do the games.

So what is the solution to the bad reffing? Now that you have a ref and an ex player in the video box, they still get it wrong. Is the benefit of the doubt still applicable? Can't recall seeing it recently. If it wasn't for the Roosters, I would have lost interest in the game.

I don't agree, there is no team in the comp that slows teams more in the ruck than the Dogs. They could easily be penalized 3 times in every set of 6 for their slowing down, hand on the ball, turtling of the tackled player, pushing the tackled player during the play the ball.. Des Hasler knows that the refs will not penalize a team 40 or 50 times a match so they keep doing it and Michael Ennis makes sure he gets in the ear of the refs so they get their share of penalties. Whilst they usually lose the count they end up getting the better deal from the refs.

Mathematically the roosters are premiership favourites, hence the mathematical gamble to grab grand final tickets to watch the boys lift the trophy. Just hope those tickets don't mathematically get lost enroute to NZ.
We're with you boys - thats how we roll

The vermin are very good at it too as it was clearly evident in the storm game - they also add a little knee into the ball besides using squirrel grips would not surprise me to see funny burgess banners when we next clash
