We are right in this Comp. don't for a minute doubt that. All I keep reading about is the Refs. In 2013 and 2014 nothing was different. We won a comp and then didn't go all the way last year coz we somehow let Penrith beat us.
I honestly believe the window is still open. There is no standout team this year and I have no doubt we will beat Saints this week. Just like the Knights have been shown up as an average side, so will Saints.
The only game we have been poor this year is V Cronulla. If the crossbar is skinnier we beat Brisbane. If Nene gets lower and puts his body on the line we beat the Storm. That's how close we are to being 5-2. Instead we are middle of the pack and well in it.
We have played 2 pretty good footy teams the last couple of weeks and were unlucky not to win them. It's obvious we get screwed by bad decisions but that is nothing new. And let's not pretend we don't bring some of that upon ourselves. Honestly, who was the idiot last night(Setu or Manu I think) that decided to put the tackled player in a blatant choke hold. He must have had him in that hold for 5 seconds and I have no doubt you guys were thinking the same as me. Why would you do that? That is simply a play by a very dumb person. Did they expect a different outcome?
Despite the fact we did not receive a penalty in the second half for the past 2 weeks, both games were there to win. That shows how good this team can be and I believe things will turn against the Saints.
In regards to referees , the thing that bothers me the most is the obvious bias against JWH. I would love the Club to compile video of the amount of times JWH has been in a scuffle against an opposition player. I have counted at least 10 times this year when this has happened and it is mostly while the game is still going on. The thing that really $hits me is that on every occasion it's Jareds name they call out. Never the other guy. "Get out of it Jared". All that type of stuff. Not on one occasion have I heard them call the other guys name. That's simply because they have a preconceived idea about him.
I would love the Club to compile video evidence of it (there is plenty out there) and ask Tony Archer to explain why his staff only ever bother to call out the one guy. It is indefensible.
Anyway, as I said, it starts this week. We will beat Saints.
