Another Saturday Night Stitchup

[Andrew Walker]

I don't blame the refs, if you are good enough you will win. Just like the Roosters did tonight just as they did last year to win the comp.

Some on here can come out with your conspiracies or so called facts every week but it means sweet fcuk all. If the Roosters are on song even without luck they are a very good team. When they are on song & have some luck they are unbeatable. Nothing to do with the refs.

Apart from the tincey wincey little thing that they can keep good sides in match even when we are on song

I just had a look at Cronullas games this year and the penalties they have given away each week - 10, 8, 6, 7, 5, 4 and then tonight against the reigning premiers they play the almost perfect game and only give away 2 penalties??? I think its as much abuot the penalties that arent blown when teams play us as what we give away ourselves?

[Guest]

Well you were pretty spot on there, except the penalty count was 3 - 1 against us yet we were still able to win.

Yep I thought we would win because they are pretty crap although the late inclusion of Gallen made me a bit more nervous going into it. The refs did pretty much as expected and tried to give the sharks a helping hand JWH no try and that try they scored after they knocked it dead over the deadball line along with the usual lopsided penalty count.

There is no conspiracy people but as I've said before, we are perceived as easy targets by the refs to penalise. We don't whinge about it, that's our management, we don't cause trouble. Imagine if our fan base were as mad as the dogs? I'm sure the refs would think twice about getting to their cars after a game if they gave the dogs a 'ruff' time with penalties. We also don't have the 'sentimental' factor that souffs has. We're just easy targets. If there ever was a 'conspiracy', someone would have talked by now.

What about the Freemasons who killed JFK according to the Grand Architect, Hiram Abiff's visions?

Mate it's the NRL in Sydney not the Columbian soccer league. No one has nor will ever follow a ref to there car & belt them.

Probably, but gee it would be nice to follow you to your car and give you a hiding.

[stsae]

We did a great job again not letting some very questionable decisions get to us.

The two where they didnt use the Vidiot. A 12 point turnaround. Nasty.

But the players never gave up again.

Despite some of you crazies thinking the seasons over I'm proud of their efforts so far this season.

This tough period is showing us why no ones gone back to back for over 20 years.

I reckon later this season we will benefit from what's happening now.

[Tommy Smith]

The last few years, teams trying to go B2B have come out of the blocks well but faded miserably during the finals.

Dragons in 11, Manly in 12, Storm in 13. ALL went bang bang. That's 0 and 6 combined.

Hopefully we go the opposite way. That is start slow but play our best footy when it matters.

[Johnny.]

The Ref's did everything in their power to take that from us. Whether it was a conspiracy or just plain, simple incompetence, I don't want to guess. A disallowed try and a goal line drop out that never was, it was an attempted screw job that didn't work.

Wow! You make it look like rugby league has never seen crowd violence. Weather it's park footy or NRL, there has been times where certain crowds get out of control. I have also seen referees attacked at park footy however the POINT I'm trying to make is that refs are far more inclined to penalise our club more because they feel that we will accept their decisions, more at the management whereas a Manly will kick and scream until they get their way and they often do.

Maybe some subtle intimidation is in order? A horse's head in Ben Cummins' bed would be nice.
