So fed up with the way officials are manipulating games.
We are penalised for a clayton's hip drop then the same player accused of that fantasy by Ben Cummins is hit fair and square in the head by a leading forearm from Tina which puts him off for an HIA , no penalty to us no dismissal for ten minutes of the instigator who then takes part in the try scored by the Titans not more than five minutes later when he should have been in the bin...Commentators from all areas calling out the bullshit decisions. NRL has created a big problem with the interpretation apparently being sorted so decisions can be black and white except they aren't.
The two officials who should be under the microscope well and truly from last week Gerard Sutton and this week Ben Cummins..
This follows on from last weeks efforts where Annesley admits officials got it wrong...can't wait for this weeks one.....

NRL’s shock admission after horror week for the Bunker
NRL football boss Graham Annesley has made a startling admission on the process of the Bunker on the back of a week to forget for the league’s officials.
There were a number of contentious decisions in games across Round 11, none more so than the sin binning of Broncos star Pat Carrigan in Brisbane’s loss to the Storm.
Broncos coach Kevin Walters and Storm’s Craig Bellamy both agreed it was the wrong call to bin Carrigan.
The Storm won the game 24-16, scoring the decisive eight points while the Broncos were a man down.
Annesley admitted at his weekly football briefing on Monday to a flaw in the Bunker’s approach.
“The Bunker are getting a feed from every single camera, I think in this game they had 12. Each screen has a different angle,” Annesley said.
“Part of the role of the Bunker is to pick the angle that gives them the best view, in order to make a decision. Sometimes under pressure, under time constraints they won’t always look at the best available view.
“While every effort is made to ensure it happens, sometimes these things do happen. I’m not trying to brush the significance of this aside because they do have a big impact on games as losing a player to a sin bin is a big penalty to a team.”
“This is not a hip drop... There was a penalty and a sin bin called which were incorrect decisions.
“There were three elements of a hip drop tackle there except where the body weight landed which is the most critical factor.”
Annesley also responded to what he labelled as “comments he saw over the weekend” eluding the directives of officials change week-to-week when it comes to the ruling of hip drops.
“There’s this perception that we give them a directive every week, but that’s not true,” Annesley said.
Annesley said the call to penalise and sin bin Carrigan were “incorrect decisions”.
“This has the elements of a hip drop tackle. There’s a grab, a twist and the body is dropped to the ground but the critical factor is where the body lands,” Annesley said.
“The body falls on the ground with daylight between his (Carrigan’s) body and the Storm player’s legs. He doesn’t fall with his full body weight.
