I have no problem with gracious people giving credit to Illawarra for their "victory". You sound like very good sports, good on you. And it is best to move on.
Nothing will change however the fact that although some calls went against Illawarra, the big ones worth points went way way in their favour. I don't need to list them, they have all been done to death. Even the FOX commentators cast legitimate doubt over most of their tries.
AND, I would cop that sweet if the penalties were not 5-1 against us. AND I would cop THAT sweet if we had not been the most penalised side all year.
AND I would accept that too, were it not for the very difficult (for the NRL) to explain stat that on top of THAT, we have also RECEIVED the LEAST penalties of any side this year. That's right, the most penalised AND receiving the least penalties (the NRL would have us believe that every team improves THEIR discipline when and only when they play the roosters.
In short, we have been consistently ****ed over big time by the match officials, and if I had my way I would demand some ****ing answers from the game's administrators.
In spite of all that, we had a team that was in front at half time in the GF. They are bloody legends and I could not love this team any more.
