Ahh, ok, perhaps I misheard it.

Either way he ended up yelling at the ref in a very insubordinate manner because the ref wouldn't entertain his argument.
I bet Cameron wouldn't talk to himself that way when he is officiating.;)

It is unbelievable that he continually gets away with it, but then again when you are lauded as the greatest player ever known you expect to be treated differently and we all know that he thinks he should be.

I noted the many many "surrender" tackles applied to our boys in attack, the deliberate hold-down ingrained in Storm's reaction to the "surrender" call and decided lack of surrender calls when we were defending.
Provides a very subtle change to momentum, at the ref's discretion.

Exactly and we have all been told that this year unlike 2018 the referees are free to referee to the flow of the game.....which of course they control...

Annesley said Rugby League Central was not trying to influence the way sides play but he wanted his referees to “read the game” and to show some discretion.

“I’m very much against edicts and this isn’t an edict,” Annesley told AAP.

“This is just an officiating philosophy.




Annesley said there would be no radical change in interpretations but wanted his referees to develop a feel for the game and penalise — or put the whistle in their back pocket — accordingly.

“There are subtleties around this,” Annesley said.

“A referee can have a good game with five penalties, they can have a bad game with five penalties because he’s just ignored everything.

“A referee can have a poor game with 20 penalties or he can have a very good game with 20 penalties because he’s had to be much more assertive because of the way the game is being played.”

The bulldogs have had to deal with bad calls for decades, we've always had to beat the opposition team and refs, it's always been us against them.

We are the youngest and most inexperienced team! Which is why it was one awesome effort by the team on Sunday! Well done boys!

Since when are players allowed to yell at the ref in anger and right up in there face "what's wrong with you?"
And tell the ref directly that his decision is wrong.

According to Bill Harrigan on "Controversy Corner", our first two tries came from refereeing errors.
According to the stats Cameron Smith did not make an error...oh sorry he is talking about the bloke with the whistle... yet he then conceded errors were also made the other way by the officials....
