Season set up for the Dragons . ****ing Farce

[Guest]

I am over the Dragqueens sick of their bitching & carrying on.
I live in their heartland & have done all my life, their houses
are still flying their colours the same with their cars. Their
fans are really over the top & now I have 1 crying that they
only got 3-4 in the Nations game bloody hell, they want the
lot, all the refs decisions which they automatically get anyway,
all the reps, the best players & all under the cap.

I was stunned at the arrogance of Soward when they won, his
reaction was so like a spoilt brat he needs pulling into line &
off the pedestal he's put himself on, someone needs to tell him
he's a goal kicker at best nothing more.

This really sums it up.

definate stitch up.

The one thing I don't get, is why our club hasn't come out more strongly about the bad ref decisions we've had to cop all year. Maybe it looks like sour grapes but I'd like to hear an old cement truck comment or something similar. It would be worth giving up the $10k.

Maybe the NRL has something over us and know we can't say jack.

How the hell can they get it that wrong / got me Rooted ........

Right, right. Get it.

Giddyup!

Dud calls are one thing, they happen.

Having a foot 1 metre into touch and not having that called up is, well words escape me. This is the pinnacle of the season. Another player pushed in the back without the ball & in front of the touchie and nothing.

I wont even go into the Young "try" or the penalty against Conn. I dont think there was any conspiracy that the Merge had to win but at want point do we call the reffing in that game a pathetic embarrasment and the relegation of Archer, the touchies & video Billy to Toyota Cup. That was not a good look.

I think supporters of any tem would blow up deluxe if they had the types of decisions that were handed to us. These calls made the GF a very one sided event and snuffed out any momentum we could have had. And Smithy wont blow up, he knows he has a team in the comp in 2011.

Which I think is crap. Not that he won't blow up because I'm sure he wants to. The fact that it has got to the point that there is likely to be revenge at some point in the season from someone. Not necessarily the refs.

Yep, very dud calls against us in the GF.

I am a long way away from being convinced of a conspiracy. I just believe that the game has ****ed around so much with rules and refs that we no longer have a bloke in charge with the whistle. Finch has been beyond incompetent and the NRL need to simplify this whole thing and give control back to one referee.

Until this happens, the game will continue to be a joke with more discussion about refs than footy!

It could be too that certain parts of our administrationare full of shit and can't see bad refereeing if they wanted to.

E.g I was up in QLD recently and saw some Roosters dev teams feed to some super qld rep sides all in the name of seeing how good the QLd players were.
Not such a problem except the referees were the most disgraceful I have ever seen.
Sullivan and his little lackies stood there and smiled, wondered why some people were a lttle upset.

Maybe, but I honestly think that Archer & Hollywood Bill were incompetent. And that incompetence may have impacted on our ability psychologically.

Some people reckon that this thinking is bad sportsmanship. Well lests see, Desy Hasler, Wok Ryan, Warren Smith & Lauries Daley have all voiced that we were duded. Ex players & coaches confirming what most here know. No wonder so many Easts fans are filthy.

What about if those calls had gone against the Merge ? We would be still reading about it in the DT at the very least.

If a team is only as good as its last performance, then the same should apply to the refs. Archer, Hollywood Bill & their touchies off to NYC in 2011 you incompetent hacks.

Thats so true, but you have to remember, in their eyes (esp Hollywood Harrigan) they are the best around, don't make mistakes and are irreplaceable.

...remember what George Costanza says ..."its not a lie, if you believe it !"

[Guest]

.."its not a lie, if you believe it !"

And if they & the NRL believe it, the game has a shitload of problems.

[Guest]

If your interested, i'm having a great old discussion on league unlim, Archer winds GF.

Exactly what i was thinking last week - Dragons managed to avoid the heat by playing all the Friday night games during the season start, while conversely the Roosters somehow drew all the F*&ken Sunday afternoon games which took its toll when the doggies put 60 points on us.

God help us if that prick ends up in charge of the refs.

They will all be his clones with the same arrogance.

My vote is definitely with the garden gnome.

By the way, Saints were gone at half time. Nice of the NRL to give them a 25 minute, yes 25 minute, break.

I think you will find we were "lucky" to get all the tv games
