What cost us the game apart from Klien who is a dead set turd was an inability to get across the line out wide.The warriors turned us back on just about every attacking set out wide.I would bet that Latrell is back next week.They would not have held the kid out when he hits the line out wide.

Actually we do have an advantage rule. Also, it doesn't get around the fact he was offside and got involved in the play.

I don't buy into the "it's a conspiracy" garbage. We won three minor premierships and a premiership with largely this side. We won last week's fixture that I've seen plenty on this forum long argue is an NRL favourite. Surely this would never have happened if it was a conspiracy?

Personally, I think there's a few lazy, mentally weak, and/or dumb players in the squad, and we would do well to look at that first before ref bashing.

That's my point, he got involved about four times in that sequence, they were going backwards, blow it straight away, how many times do you see a team get given a penalty straight away, when it would have been better to let them play on, can you explain the nrl advantage rules?

[Johnny Tobin]

It's pre-conceived and that's cheating.

[Maxy Walker]

Just appalling refereeing today. The no penalty for the Cordner high tackle was ridiculous. How do they miss that. And only two penalties to us in the second half for all that time camped in their half was unbelievable.

They only refereed one team today.

[<ME>]

Refs were crap but I am currently blinded by coaches crap.

[chopstiks]

NRL gone to the dogs. Watching our team comedy of errors week in week out is one thing, but these ref's have now become central to deciding each and every game. What other sport completely revolves around incompetent refs. After Rabbitohs last week, how did he get near any game this week.

[ROC181]

I didn't know that penalties could be given way past the play like Union? That was one massive playing advantage and waited till they made an error to call it back. Last week he let a pass from a ruck like union now this advantage.

Too damned right, SKD, Fergo and Toops the obvious ones. Pearce get's involved but a deer in headlights at times , that kick that went over the deadball as a prime example the utmost worst possible outcome, Does he not think ? Friends service at dummy half is getting worse by the game plenty of forward passes, passes to no one and an all round slow passing from the dummy half it's like half a second too slow all the time.

Advantage can go as long as you don't go past the advantage line (ie. 10m from the PTB/ruck). Not sure who was penalised but really, that penalty was clutching at straws when you consider some of the things that were let go. The Warriors lost the ball on the other side of the field.

calvin c#@t clien did hid best, but it is obvious he is out of his depth for nrl games. missing the cords head high was an absolute joke. the thing with pearce was fine, played advantage, but the shot clock running for 1 minute 47 isnt. spend the ten robbo.

[TheRock]

If he was playing advantage wouldn't that place Juju onside given that the ball was moved more than 10 metres?

[roosterproud]

great use of watson again

[roosterproud]

the penalty was taken where pearce was of side

[roosterproud]

the rest of the team could also have shown some type of urgency like pearcey did. last 2 minutes of the game.

Advantage:

The advantage law applies to all phases of play, but where a team infringes in a strong tactical position the advantage should be allowed only if the ball goes immediately into the possession of the non-offending team.

The Referee is the sole judge of what constitutes an advantage be it tactical or territorial. An infringement is not ‘negated’ simply because the ball touches or is touched by an opponent. The opponent must have adequate opportunity to take advantage and endeavour to do so before play is allowed to proceed.

Application of the advantage laws does not deprive the Referee of subsequently dealing with an offending player.


From the laws of the game. Pearce would've known this as a first grade halfback, hence my point it's lazy. Just needed to get himself onside quickly and he becomes part of the 13 again. He didn't and the ref (rightfully) blew a penalty. If the roles were reversed, I'd want the same for our team.
