Im so frustrated at the refs from tonight. Two would be tries. Gone because of some ****ed up ref calls. RTS clearly got the ball down, Takas ball clearly went backward, but because of the crowd and the Raiders players exploding, Brett ****tor ruled it forward. He also ruled the RTS try a no try. **** the refs, always against us.

You are kidding aren't you? Pearce was standing in front of Taka when he passed the bloody thing! I did not see a penalty tonight that we didn't earn through our stupidity! -
Pearce had to stretch his hands behind him to get that ballOriginally posted by Headless Chook View PostComment

TBH it looked forward live, but in the replay it looked better... not sure I'd have to see it again. Seems similar to the Melbourne try in the 99 GF where it looked forward but wasn't.
The RTS try should of been given for sure though.Comment

Taka looked to have passed it back!Originally posted by Headless Chook View Post
Topou penalised for tackling the player in the air was clearly wrong but the biggest one was the refs call, biggest load of crap!Comment

I must have been watching a different game....thought it was clearly forwardOriginally posted by camdaman View PostComment

The bald ref is nothing but a w...ker. RTS did get that ball down but the prize w...ker said held up. Just as well this idiot will not be reffing the GF, mind you it doesn't make any difference to us as we won't be there.Last edited by PKR; 08-18-2012, 11:23 PM.Pauline Robinson from the "Wall".Comment

You could see Pearce's reaction he was filthy, he would of been the person with the best view. Players don't often seem that pissed if they know themselves it was forward.
Will have to see the replay again though but as I said I'm not sure it was as forward as I first thought.Comment

Pearce was standing in front and that threw them off but clearly went backwardsComment

Well in that case Pearce was offside. I couldn't complain about the decision to be honest. RTS....that was a different case altogether and should have been BOTD.Originally posted by Julz View PostComment

As I posted in a thread earlier today, BOD is for when a video ref wants to give a 50/50, Refs Call is for when a video ref doesn't want to give a 50/50.Originally posted by Headless Chook View Post
Refs call is the most ridiculous rule in the game. The field Ref sends it up stairs because he is not sure, he then has players in his face, watches replays on a big screen from 100 feet away, and then is supposed to make a call. The rule is benefit of the doubt goes to the attacking team (rightly or wrongly) - if the video ref is not sure then award the try as BOD.Comment

Ok I know we do some dopey things but seriously are we that bad, that undisciplined to at one point have an 8-2 penalty count against us ???
I'm really wondering if the refs just say, well its the Chooks, they're an undisciplined lot so yep, penalty.
Dont know what the penalty count ended up as & I know this discussion has been going on here and previously the wall. Are we really that bad ???Comment

Yeah that refs call decision was BS, whats the point of asking the Video Ref to look and decide when he doesn't.Originally posted by Headless Chook View PostComment

There's been a number of calls in Souffs vs Shire that have gone the other way... Refs make mistakes I understand that.... It's the consistency that bothers me.Comment
