I'd fucking love to see a conglomerate of gamblers mount a class action case against the NRL showing some of the hundreds of poor refereeing decisions that have directly influenced games and cost people money with gambling losses. If you could display enough occasions that they've occurred I think that legally it would cause an inquiry into how the betting was placed and whether these biased decisions saved the gambling agencies money. The case wouldn't have to reach it's conclusion and I bet you'd see the referees making better decisions straight away.
As in the post above, this should be an occasion where the NRL should voluntarily pay out the potential winnings that anyone who backed the Tigers could have taken away since for them to admit to a mistake, means the mistake was blatant.
Rubbish. I couldn't give a shit about which teams are blatantly robbed of a chance to win games. I blow up more when it's my team, but I hate the fact that this kind of shit happens so often and nothing is done about it. Given that the sponsorship deal in place offers the NRL a percentage of gambling takings it leaves huge questions about whether their is corruption in the refereeing ranks, and the lack of a crackdown on it raises the question of whether it is approved by higher authorities within the game.I don't think so. haha
Only Bronco haters say it was a rort.
It was an illusion.... so it’s a magic trick that got the referee, that makes it alright then!!! Give us a break, the only magicians on the field are your own men Sutton! Very bad magicians I must admit!!
Agree. This is what happens when you defend very minimal points. Now we certainly know how we played from looking at it from the outside.
So no close win is ever a good thing?
Thanks for admitting you robbed us......now what?
Im happy you're satisfied with tight games defending one try dude. Close wins and being robbed blind by referees is close but not close enough dude. Keep the uncalled for insults to your self. My view is a valid observation about the game.So no close win is ever a good thing?
Damn we have some shit talking malcontents on this forum.
The tigers defended minimal points over the opening two rounds and beat two of the favourites to win the comp.
No two games are directly comparable anyway. What absolute nonsense.
How did I insult you? You’re talking nonsense and you’re acting like a malcontent by complaining following a win in which we showed improvement. I’m as entitled to that view as you are to your (in my opinion extremely negative) views about our football team. Just calling it as I see it mate.
Bro this is the Bronx v Tigers game im commenting about. You ok dude?
Haha well yeah, but you’re the one who made the link to our game by saying the tigers/ broncs game gave us an outside perspective on how we played.
Under Des Utility...sheeesh....the way we played under Des. All good bud!
Ah, sorry mate. Took you out of context.
So you won’t sign my change.org petition?I have been thinking about the poor Tigers & what happened last night & this is what I think.
I will sign your petition. (as long as it's not boot the Broncos out of the comp etc)So you won’t sign my change.org petition?
I don’t really care about the Tigers... just think it was not a good look to end a game that way. Shit happens, but it would be nice if supporters of all teams could have more faith in the refs.
