Mind boggling how we are gonna turn this run of "bad luck", "ref rorting", our "wrong side of 50/50's," "blatant favouritism or bias against us in virtually every contentious moment" around.

We are the sleeping giants on the precipice of huge success if we can get a fair go...or just any even fair shake of proceedings.

This playing most games where dodgy penalties (2pts) given against us (Kiks) and fair penalties not received (Storm player juggles ball into Milky and he points it out to the blind or cheating linesman who does nothing).

There def looks like a concerted plan to make it as hard as possible for us to get a win or at least an even shake of the games momentum.

It happens on too many occasions to accept bad luck and our silly fault. Yes those are factors but the extra effort our guys have to put in just to get a fair shake of possession and battle against all the favourable decisions our opposition get, can not simply be put down to chance or bad luck or our lack of effort.

A real concerted effort into challenging this bias and run of manufactured dodgy penalties etc against us must be prosecuted by the club.

No point in Gus getting involved in that tho bc it will only be seized on by News Corpse and the hate campaign be ramped up.


There must come a Enough is Enough time for the club to react sensibly and factually with stats etc to prove their concerns and facts and figures of whats happening.

Ciro needs to expand and follow up on his presser complaints...make NRLol accountable and let them know we aren't taking it lying down any longer. If he doesnt this just continues on next year and however long we just grin and bare it.

Yes raving :grinning: with the frustration of it all for the guys in our team but gee it is getting out of hand with the pushing it up hill nature of how our games are being reffed and determined.
This is the problem man, we never get 50-50 calls in big moments. You can almost guarantee we won't get them next week either if we get a massive crowd, because the refs will be told to not be influenced by the massive crowd etc. we never win. Always losing penalty counts and play the ball speed

The thing that shits me is we aren’t allowed to have quick play the balls cause other teams always lay on us in the ruck to slow us down and we never get a penalty.
 
Bruh it was very disappointing to see the fans leaving early. I stood there for 20min after full time just taking it all in. And was consoled by the nice storm fans on way out.
I find local storm fans in Melbourne pretty chill actually, Nice folk. Very odd to hear about the beer pour but it's happened before with other teams fans so can be believable

You know how many times I have said what you have said and have been shot down on here for saying it? A lot. I
 
Its so blatant.
Refs cant be that dumb or scared of Bellamy...must be corrupt.
Katoa dropping the ball in front of the touchies, Toby getting hit with a raised knee, offside on about 80% of plays. Horrible stuff.
 
Melbourne has been doing this for so long the refs think it’s normal! It’s a joke and makes the nrl look for what it is, a sport that’s fixed!
Storm tactics slow the ruck, next to never square at marker, milking for penalties.
 
Love the grant wrestling Jethro over while he was trying to get up to play the ball
The amount of times they were laying all over us but the **** didnt give a 6 again or penalty

Its impossible to reconcile the blatant acceptance of the way the Bulldogs are treated.

Always, but always 90% on the wrong side of ref/touchies/bunker decisions. Either that or they dont see the oppositions illegalities so we lose out with that as well.

The club needs to firmly but politely factually get this issue out there. We cant be meek and mild victims any longer.

2012 GF they were offside pretty much the entire game. It’s blatantly obvious that they get favoured due to where they play, having a shit team in Melbourne for the nrl would be a catastrophe!
 
The bullshit about making this competition even is even more of a joke, it’s so lob sided, I get sick of hearing every year them saying “this year will the greatest year of rugby league”, there’s only one thing Peter V'landys, cares about and that’s gambling, ironic how the guy running the nrl comes from running horse racing!

Not really. Melbourne the city adds nothing to NRL.
Storm just the same affect either in Melbourne or Sunshine Coast Qld where they get majority of their players.

We’ve seen it with other clubs once their supporters don’t turn up they pretty much fold, the only thing keeping Melbourne around is the nrl keeping them successful, otherwise they would not exist, especially in a state full of AFL teams.
