Watcing Souths v Cowboys highligts why we can't win the comp

[Headless Chook]

After 30 mins Souths were 16/16 completions. We have never been that good. Add to that the fact Souths don't give away nearly as many penalties that we do and that they actually get discretionary penalties and we have no hope of beating them when it counts

[Hawkeye]

Cowboys denied a fair try. Glen Stewart falls over after the runner passes him ...how is that an obstruction ?

[Hollus]

...also helps when they get obstruction rulings in their favour that are completely at odds to the rulings in our games.

[ROC181]

What crap, the field ref gives a 'no try' on a possible obstruction from a COWBOYS TRY leaving the video ref to find cause not to agree and has no choice to award the ruling in favour of souths...how disgusting!

[The Axe]

the other reason is when Souffs are in trouble - award them a penalty.
Why was the try to Cowboys disallowed on the stroke of 1/2 time? Even the commentary said it was a different interpretation from Friday night's match

After the blocking penalty was awarded that was my queue to change channels. I can't watch the BS anymore.

I'm getting the same, the officiating in all games has become a farce. I just can't watch it any more...

[Tommy Smith]

We got 2 penalties vs the Cowboys in 80 minutes (one a kick off out on the full).

Souffs already have 7 at half time.

End thread.

Exactly my point. They are protected so much its obscene

[player 1]

The Souffs coach has a face that would invite a savage beating, were it not for the fact that it looks like a case of Down's Syndrome.

[ROC181]

Well if we're not going to join the party and stay down to get penalties, according to the values of the team and coach, then why isn't someone in the club producing stats as evidence of unbalanced officiating and present that to the NRL and if it doesn't work, then leak it out to the media...that's if they really care cause it seems to me that we're the only ones really getting pissed of about it....

[Johnny Tobin]

We certainly don't get the calls they do - let alone the penalties. That denied try was one of the most disgraceful I have seen.
