Yes, I'm a bitter, annoyed, and upset fan after tonight's loss, as the majority of us are.
HOWEVER...
Why is it almost every semi-questionable try we score gets sent to the video ref, while opposition teams get let off without a second looking? I understand ref's cop a bad rap for continually sending calls to the video ref, but that final try by the Broncos tonight, for example, was a joke.
I'm so sick of ref's being criticised for poor calls against us come Tuesday/Wednesday by Harrigan or some sports writer extraordinare, and us fans being told 'it won't happen again'. That doesn't bring the 2 points back, that doesn't turn the loss into a victory. It screwed us out of the minor prem in 09' and if it keeps going at this rate, who knows what we'll miss out on this year.
The NRL has two options -
1) Every try should be sent to the video ref, or
2) The video ref should be scrapped altogether.
They were put in place to counter the refs inability to make a decision on a try or play, and should either be utilized to their full potential or not at all. When tries like tonight's get let through without a second glance, while Idris' try in 09' gets scrutinized and sub-sequentially disallowed, we should realise we've got a serious problem.
