Stop blaming the refs for yesterdays loss

[ajay78]

We are only good enough to compete, but don't have the quality or star power to take over games.

 

[belmore_utd]

Bulldogs are not allowed to run away with the game. Its no coincidence that we never win by more than a converted try

 

[Vek]

Ok....so who held back/tackled mbye in a try scoring situation and didnt get binned? Why did sharks knock ons turn into penalties against us? Why did poor sharks play the balls end up with penalties against us?

We had many opportunities denied by poor officiating but also our own errors. Remove the officiating and it would have been an extremely close game.

 

[Papa Emeritus]

Reffing has been shit for everyone (except the Broncos).

We just have too many shitty players to win.

It’s consistently bad for us however. We could be in the top 8 if it was for constant appalling referring performances.

We are all biased though because we only really remember the bad calls we copped

 

[Bulldogz82]

Ref's sub conscious I guess. They are human after all.

I dont blame the ref for missing calls like that because it's easy to, but the game put in place the bunker and the second ref to remove that bias and when they dont do their job, or in the Lee instance they do but the ref blatantly ignores them, then he should cop it.

Totally agree mate.
It's getting worse and worse since the 2 referee system and bunker came along .
Waste of money if you ask me as it's getting the nrl nowhere.
Watch a English super league if you ever get a chance and watch how good the officiating is with the 1 ref, shits on nrl

 

[Trafford10]

Nah...I'm blaming the corrupt maggots!!!

 

[Boxer]

The refs didnt make Montoya come racing in off his wing and come up with nothing.

The refs didnt make the lads miss tackles or drop the ball.

We were beaten by the better side yesterday, the lads tried hard but we just werent good enough when it came down to the crunch

You must be a ref .
So 5-0 penalties to start a game then
5-0 to start the second half is nothing to do with refs?
The woods penalty for not playing the ball properly but then Cronullla plays it sideways and get a penalty. Yep that was all our fault nothing to do with ref.

 

[Chris Harding]

The refs just need to be consistent mate that's all it is imo.
After woods got done for incorrect play the ball I closely watched the sharks and I counted 7 incorrect play the balls. It's the luck of the draw with penalties

And that included the play the ball by Gallen that gave Prior (who should have been in the bin) the winning try. We saw Woods penalised for that in the first half when he should have received a penalty for a second leg grab, and they got a try off the penalty.
Still fuming over the missed Mbye tackle without the ball when a try was on; and comparing it to the tap on the back that gave the Broncos the winning penalty in front of the posts. It's more than ref mistakes; it's the injustice of it when it costs games.

You are right...
I blame the referees and betting for the demise of Rugby League...That's ALL

It's starting to get to the point where you just expect us to get fucked by incompetence each week. Whether it's just by accident or not the point is we get screwed alot lately

 

[dogluva]

Or Dugan getting a sin bin with 50 seconds left, where the justice in that lol

True, although where was the justice in those two Manly blokes getting a nearly two minute early mark from their binning.
How dumb is it to award a sin bin so late in a game especially when it takes a player more than that time to walk off the field. Defence resets and any advantage lost.

Youre actually right....

Rabbits game
Second Roosters game
Broncos game (maybe, very very close)
Sharks game (definitely, they were out of it making errors that were counted as penalties against us and mbye tackled without the ball).

Dont forget "dont play it sideways next time edrick, ok??"

Referee to edrick lee after he fucked up the play the ball with the penalty against us. Proof of corruption. You NEVER hear such things said to teams like us.

 

[chisdog]

In saying that, had Mbye pulled his finger out and kicked well we could have been equal after 80 mins.

Or if common sense had prevailed & either Martin or Holland kicked instead

It should flow through into his next game and he should miss the first 9 minutes.

Your an idiot.

Just because we lost doesn't mean the refs were good.

Or is there a fine on here as well if we are honest about there performance

 

[Isaac]

What about the line break from Holland and Mbye got taken out, that should of been a sin bin, and a game changer. What about Edrick Lee playing the ball side ways should of been a penalty and attacking again, the refs control the game.
