Press Conference

[Big Poppa Pump]

Up on the NRL site. Robbo was clearly angry but didn't say boo about the referees. Weak as piss.

[The Brain]

Very week.... Was mire like an acceptance speach... You have ti defend your players no matter what

Sorry I started another thread about the presser. Mods please delete it.

In it tho I comment that Robbo looked and acted as if we'd won that game. You wouldn't tell that we lost and had been ripped off a number of times.

Cords looks disappointed as he should and so should Robbo FFS.

Robbo should go into politics or NRL administration.

because robbo isnt a whinging prat like most fans are who blame the referees for every loss he correctly identified that we stuffed it up with our own stupidity

You know Boogie I really think you should stop blaming the referees. We lost it fair and square. Just man up and admit you are a bad sport.

There's no real point in doing it. Even though we want him to.

Got to pick your moments as a coach.

Whinge too frequently and you'll get dismissed straight away as just having another whinge.

Unfortunately the call on Pearce offside was correct, even if Robbo ONLY made mention of the refs performance for the 78 minutes prior publicly the story would've been twisted to 'refs got it right'.

Pretty much right. From what I've heard in the past from contacts, Robbo is non-committal at the press conference, checks the video then rings Archer. And unloads.

I think at some stage however, he needs to go in with the stats about how most weeks teams drastically reduce the penalties conceded against us (last three weeks Warriors conceded 9/8/9). Cop the fine.

We did well today considering the refereeing and fatigue from Tuesday. I dare say that ours was the more difficult game. And interestingly, we only used 3 bench players, so did NZ.

[Nathan Aboud]

I think we did enough in that second half to deserve to win the game....

The call was not wrong for that particular game and moment, after all the Warriors had no time in our own half in the second half as we did dominate possession and did play smart. If the idiots had a feel for that game then that call should not have been blown what so ever and more importantly there were four officials on the field to tell Pearce that he was of side.

Not one of them communicated that to him and allowed him to make two tackle attempts in that last play. Why wasn't it called earlier in that set???????

Also, there were two times in that second half where they didn't blow a dead set penalty where they should have but well done to our boys not to be soft and stay on the ground. Cordner, I believe should have stayed down longer for the bunker to review and yes we would have got the penalty as Johnson did swing him high, connected and left him dazed....

In my opinion we lost that game in the first half with the constant repeatedly stupid errors from the same players, Fergo and Tupou!!!!!! When are these boys ever going to understand that offloading in your own end does not work for any team, especially with these two........

I don't usually blame refs, or believe in conspiracy theories, but that was a fairdinkum stitch up.

The final penalty was technically a correct call. But it's not rugby. He played advantage. And if you are going to hit us with that penalty then why didn't he penalise the Warriors for being offside when they were defending their line and jumping way early? Klein kept warning them. Not fkn once! And why wasn't Simon Mannering penalised during the same time period for continually placing his hand on the ball after the tackle was completed? Klein kept warning him. But no penalty. Not once.

I'm sick to death of it. Opposition not being penalised for the same things we are

And as for Robbo in the presser, I'm sure he has a convo with Politis prior to the presser about whether they want to spend $50,000. On this occasion they decided against it

Nailed it.

The opposition get leniency. We get pinged on the spot without fail.

Every time.

And it shows in the penalty counts.

Situation reversed, would Shaun Johnson have been penalised for offside to give us a penalty shot at victory? I say no.

I'm sick to death of the refs shouting at our opposition "you're off! You're off!" Only for them to make a tackle and not be penalised.

Agree with you mostly on this one Nathan but I think the Ref called Pearce offside several times.
