The penalties , the hands at the play the ball, the holding

[trewhella]

The refs are clearly targetting the ruck.

Clearly, this is a coaching issue as the same thing happened last year and we got belted in the penalties.

I don't get it.

Just get more men in if you need to slow down the play.

We lost touch with souths due to the penalty count which was predictably evened in the second half. We should never have won that game. I think that will only work in the chooks favour.

Newsfalsh David We have been getting belted in the penalties for about the last 5 years It is not a new phenomenen

I thought the penalty count was a reflection of the discipline of each team. The penalty of Boyd for his tackle was ridiculous but I can see why it was given in a split second reaction... and Mini should not have been penalised, but that was really only clear based on replays.

I looked as confused as Cordner with that penalty from his tackle!!!

The refs are clearly targetting Easts. The Finch spirit is alive and well. I reckon it wont die without some voodoo shit - must talk to OVP about getting some witchy stuff happening.

The trip by sutton on Mini whoch sent him flying into "Feelin' Darryl", their fullback.....that was an Easts penalty....advantage played...try. But ne Mini gets penalised.


FAce it the refs hate us, the commentators hate us, nobody wants us to win.

Except us. I took the $2.19. ****em.

Go Easts.

What about the knock-on call against Perrett? Taylor was all over him for several seconds, turned Perrett upside down, and then intentionally kicked the ball out of Perrett's hands. All in front of the ref and linesmen.

Yep. Really, really bad, biased refereeing. Just like the last 5 years.

Make that plus 3. And I just 'love' the way they try and even up the penalty count in the last ten minutes with a quick rush of penalties!

A wise friend I spoke to today said that if I keep fixating on the refs I will become a Souffs supporter.

I am going to stop.

Or at least try to....
