Can I just say, I’m sick of this comp’e refereeing. Klein misses two blatant shoulder charges, one of which resulted in a player going off and possibly missing a few weeks to injury with the game being stopped and multiple replays shown yet nothing, not even a penalty.
Secondly, the blatant one-sidedness of the ref in trying to get Melbourne back in the game. No wonder fans get frustrated when this sort of thing happens on a regular basis. Also happened for us against Parra. If a team is losing because they aren’t good enough, it isn’t the ref’s job to give them let ups to compensate. The Storm of all teams should never get any favours from a ref for any reason ever.

It's the most frustrating thing in the comp.
There is blatant manufacturing of games... broncs vs cows for about 3-4 years being the no. 1 example and for as long as I can remember the prerogative has been to manufacture games to keep them 'close' with the old "how's Trent?"
I literally can't thing of any sport in the world where a result can be determined by the referees as much as rugba leeeg ..... I feel for poor old Ryan Tandy who had to hold the ref's hand to a match fixing result, because why didn't the idiot 'mafia' just go to the ref instead of a prop??
The ref gets paid **** all compared to the players and they can basically manufacture any fucking result you want with zero recourse from the governing body

The only thing i want to see us much as a Bronco GF win is Gee and Klein fight to the death gladiator style.

Didn't Coates take LESS money to play with the Storm?
This makes us on top of Melbourne even more delicious.

You have collected one set of data (and one with so many variables that it is unreliable) and stated "all the facts are against you". One fact is against my opinion.
But it is also a fact that a BLATANT shoulder charge was ignored last night, even if it was not seen by the on field ref, it was seen numerous times by the bunker. The ref can go back previous tackles for foul play (and have been able to do so since 1908) but they did not. A game against the roosters they lost the ball in the ruck and challenged (the bunker went back the previous play-which they are not meant to be able to do) and flegler was penalised for a high shot, so it was done against us, but can't be done against penrith?
Against parra when penrith were behind a blatant knock-on from kikau was missed which also led to a try.
everything i have ever written on these boards are an opinion, I won't suggest otherwise. But yeah, sure if you want to pretend that penalty count is the sole indicator and "all the facts", you do you bro.

In fairness, @McHunt has made himself a bit of a laughing stock of late with his takes on things, so don't take it to heart and know we love you bro.

In fairness, as soon as you start gobshiting about a mass referee/official conspiracy you instantly disqualify yourself from any rational discussion.

Yeah, yeah. The referees get together each week and are ordered to turn a blind eye to one team cheating. That really happens.

Dunno mate, seems a lot of folk here buy into this referee conspiracy drivel, regardless of how brainnumblingly stupid it is.
