WHO CONTROLS CORRUPT REFS ?

[Motorhead]

My god. Sebastion Kris knocks the ball back, ref says it went back and motions with his hands, within a second calls knock on. What a fucking disgrace.

Just makes you see red. Sutton is a bastard and I think we'd all raise a beer to the 1st bloke that decks the little bitch

The betting agencies . . .Hence the fact we get regularly fisted. Anyone watching the Faders broncos game ? Reynolds gets a shoulder to the head, no penalty, in the next set Faders have the ball, shoulder to the head . . .thats a penalty now

Josh Papalii has to leave the field for 15 minutes for a HIA but the bloke whose shoulder hit him directly to the face stays on? Normally that's a sin bin. Wasn't even a penalty given for it for some reason. Raiders won despite the ref, not because of him, there was some dodgy decisions out there going the Broncos way. Huge deal made by Ginnane over the Taupau penalty, but the fact that Capewell was offside on that kick got completely glossed over. It should've been a penalty to Canberra regardless.
Great win by the Raiders, magnificent defensive effort.

The raiders were massive underdogs, free interchange

Huh?
Free interchange yes, but it should've been free interchange and Broncos playing with 12 for 10 minutes.

Well that broncos raiders game only confirms my thoughts on why I dont think there is corruption with officiating.
There were so many garbage calls last night against both teams, I dont see how the NRL is smart enough to swing a game.

 

[D- voice]

I’m not sure about any of that, but I do appreciate the debate / conversation.

One question though: of all the sport you watch, how many are as fast as the NRL has become?

The speeding up of the game was and still is done to suit the TV industries Murdoch's News Corp ( Foxtel ) & Packer's PBL ( Nine Networks ) , controlling the game after the supper league war by employing their puppets in control of both leagues ultimately controlling the newly formed NRL.
Speed kills, in the Rugby League case is speeding up the game killing it ?
Are the horrendous injuries caused by speeding the game despite the players are much fitter/stronger now ?
Most importantly the game has become one dimensional as coaches and big fast players take advantage of the rules changes while the smart creative players slowly continue to vanish, Lack of quality and creative halfbacks is a clear indication.
There are better solutions sadly the National Rorts League has it's own

Capewell being offside - went back and had a look and it was very close and marginal at best (actually think he was on with both feet behind Reynolds). And I thought overall, the Bronks copped the rough end of the reffing dick more than Raiders. But otherwise agree with you bro.

But probably goes to show that the rules aren't clear or are not enforced consistently for the average Joe to work out what the fck is going on.

I think you need to let go of the obsession with Uncle Rupert as does the retiree in the recliner - ad nauseam.

News have not had an ownership stake in the game or a club for ~10 years. And of COURSE the ARL commission strongly consider what the broadcasters want - they fund the game! With no broadcast deal there’s no club grants, no player payments and, well, you can join the dots. Why would you bite the hand that feeds you outside the naming rights sponsor?

That all said, I agree the set restart rule should be revised. Sometimes it’s hard to even see why it was applied and it is having other negative effects on injury etc. I don’t necessarily want to go back to ruck infringement penalties and shots at goal only, there’s got to be something in between.

News own 68.87% of Brisbane Broncos.

They recently got rid of their 100% stake in the Melbourne Storm. You might wonder why they got rid of one and not the other? It was seen as bad for business for a media company to own an NRL club in an AFL city. Not a problem in Brisbane. Their ownership of the Broncos goes a long way to explain the royal treatment the club gets from referees, judiciary, magic round, etc.

I stand corrected. I didn’t realise they still had a stake in the Ponies. If the Dolphins become consistently competitive any perceived ‘advantage’ might start to evaporate. They sold the Storm in 2013, so not that ‘recent’ and their stake in running the game stopped in 2012 when the ARL Commission was formed - but that came out of the Super League peace accord when News got a 15 year interest in the NRL. Whether anyone likes it or not, they are a powerful entity who fund a good chunk of the game. It’s either media companies or betting agencies with the money yet this still upsets people. How likely is the Bunnings NRL or Avis NRL? We know the answer…

As others have said, there's a big difference between corruption and negligence and being incompetent.

I do think refs favour certain teams though, but don't think corruption or betting are issues. Just favouritism and most refs in most sports unfortunately favour the stronger teams and big name players etc..

All of that being said, the NRL have fucked up massively since V'landys took over with haphazard, last minute mid season crackdowns and rule changes that have completely changed the sport. The overuse of the sin bin is absurd. I blame the people in charge for telling the refs and bunker to go looking for things to bin people for that aren't issues at all.

So many paranoid people in one location is frightening.

It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.

 

[Bulldogsteve]

I'm not a big gambler but it would seem to me that moving the result away from what the bookmakers have taken the most bets on would be the most favoured outcome for them. For example, the Rabbits were the overwhelming favourites at a large margin with the majority of money on them, hence us winning would be the most favourable result for the bookmakers. Of course a rogue wager of huge value could change that but the NSW Liquor & Gaming Authority would be all over that.

Maybe someone with more gambling experience can explain how Souths winning by the expected margin would benefit the bookmakers enough to bother influencing the result?


Always a Bulldog

You are correct, as indicated by the odds, worst result was souths 13 plus plus Mitchell scoring.
Best result was a dogs win

 

[Bob dog]

No one, Gerad is the NRL and reasonably senior and if he don't like you, you are fucked.

Stands to reason a media organisation who has a financial interest in both the ownership of the NRL, and the Broncos , is going to heavily influence the outcomes for their team via refs and NRL HQ.

Dolphins tied up with Kayo (stadium) so they get a dream run with positive publicity as well.

[/QUOTEjoke of a sport… been binning people the last 3 weeks for falling off and putting body weight onto the legs. We lose our player for multiple games and it’s play on. They don’t deserve our views or our fucking money
