JJ did mention the prior cowboys offside indescretions to the refs but typical ref's answer I'll handle it you worry about your boys.There were a number of penalties inside the attacking zone leading up to it, but the ref has made us pay for the Cowboys penalties at the other end as well i feel. They actually did it MORE than us before we had a player binned. Wasnt very fair.
50cm is a lot when they are 75cm from the line.View attachment 5611 Just watching the replay as I had to watch the game last night on my phone. Seriously Fine is off side what 50cm? Seems like the ref made up his mind on the previous penalty that he needed to send someone. Then the second half he stopped caring and being 3 or 4 meters offside was fine.
Omg don’t remind me of that Kane Evans decisions in the finals. Has to be up there as the worst decision of all time surely.Ever since that short Kane Evans try for the roosters against us a few years back, I will always assume the refs are out to get certain teams.
This was evident in the tigers v broncos golden point, as well as our recent game against the rabbits.
I know its trivial... but go watch the Parra game again and check out the raiders defence in the last 10-15 mins, those fuckers were offside heaps... but nothing gets done as someone was already in the bin.View attachment 5611 Just watching the replay as I had to watch the game last night on my phone.

And please take no offence, but just like the guy that runs the local hardware store is a failed tradesman...........Refs are normally the nerds from back in school that never got a run and were picked on by the 'cool kids.
That's why they are such vermin on the field

Lol. Very true. Normally these days you are promoted when you can't handle the job. That's why I'm in management ;-)And please take no offence, but just like the guy that runs the local hardware store is a failed tradesman...........
If anything, looking at that, the player who was the worst was Klemmer. Honestly you see that type of thing every play the ball in every game and it is like Russian Roulette with the penalties.View attachment 5611 Just watching the replay as I had to watch the game last night on my phone.

I think it was Gus Gould that spoke about the fact that everything and anything is being penalised these days. The NRL has made a rod for its own back because of its slackness over the last 5 or so years with interpretation being the key word. If you can't always referee to the letter of the law and teams know that they have some leeway what happens is exactly what we have been seeing.In my opinion a penalty should be for high tackles, spear tackles, chicken wings, obstruction...etc. This offside stuff should only be a penalty if it is so bad and obvious that as soon as the attacking player plays the ball he is being approached by a defender. The current penalties are so soft and stupid. If we needed to go back to the video to see it then it is not obvious and could not have affected the attacking play.

Was no try on the account of:
1: held up
2: knock on
3: didn’t reach the chalk
4: double movement
