That 2014 Rabbitohs premiership probably wouldn't have been possible without the help of the refs.

I've seen this bandied about, but for the life of me I can't remember any games that stand out as a farce.
 
Maybe we just have bad lawyers? The only time I can recall in recent years where the mrc/judiciary had any impact on us in finals was when they let Hodges off, and that was obviously to our advantage.
I don't really see the relevance of whether it's in finals or not. TPJ's 5 weeks will affect us if we make the 8...We actually had to get Guerra to give evidence that he was playing for a penalty and it was still a very long night from memory. They went after Blair pretty hard that year too iirc.

Admittedly I can't offer up any games but 2014 was the year of the Burgess, sponsored by ch9. Every time one dropped the ball it was a strip and every time an opposition player was stripped it was a dropped ball. I recall our game against them ended with a contentious penalty that could have gone either way....a Ben Hunt 1v1 strip, after we gave up a 2 try lead in the last 5-10 minutes mind you.

we have the same Lawyer that the Rabbitohs used to get Sam Burgess a fine for trying to take Moylans head off

Moylan deserves it on an account of being infact, quite shithouse, and not the next Lockyer.

TPJ is a grub and so is Adam Blair ... is it hard to believe they are targeted due to their rep of doing dumb shit that are worthy of suspensions.

Sorry, don't buy it.

When other team's grubs are getting away with it, absolutely.
 
Important snippets I took out of compiling these stats:

- Average crowds are down significantly. 3 Thursday home games plus barely any family friendly timeslots have seen the fans start to show their displeasure. The club should be sending the NRL a 'friendly' memo during the off season when requests are being made in regards to the draw and scheduling.
We had 4 Thursday home games last year. I don't think the draw or scheduling is to blame for the drop in attendance as it is largely similar to last year. I'd say it's down to the Broncos losing more often, and possibly also the increasing cost of tickets at a time when household disposable income is flat to declining in real terms.
 
I've seen a good numbers of posts where people say that when they go to matches, we end up losing. I'm guessing the drop in numbers is just fans desperately supporting their team. It's probably why the Roosters are so successful.
 
Klown did his best tonight but we weren't losing. Is it just me or was that Evans try just plain incorrect?
