Sharks v Manly *SPOILERS*

[Kaz]

The refs were shocking today, cost Cronulla the game.

I am a huge Sharks fan and I go on the Sharks forum and all people on there including me are all so angry at the refs for that bloomin shocking Luke Douglas send off. He is not a dirty player at all, he is a very clean player, we all feel like killing the referee

Without question the most inept and blatantly biased refereeing I've witnesssed since Bill Harrigan deliberately robbed Brisbane. Before that the ref who penalised Brisbane 10 nil and rewarded the opposition with the title of THE PERFECT TEAM.

The penalty at the end of the game was just plainly wrong. No Sharks player interfered in any way. The Manly player lept forward giving the tacklers who were doing their level best to clear, no chance. I seldom feel as upset as I do this time, it reminds me of the robbery of the Gold Coasts great win a few years back when they played the whole game a man short....and then were cheated of the points over a very minor technicality.

The sendoff was bullshit and nothing else but the ref did not even bother to appear impartial, smiling openly and sharing jokes with the Manly team while barking angrily at the struggling Sharks...worst ref performance of the year.

Told ya. Refs will kill rugby league.

If it's not fixed, the game will die. Sure, the crowds are doing very well this year but do you seriously think people are going to cop this shit for the next 10 years straight? Nope.

Thats the problem they wont fix it until the crowds at games and tv ratings fall dramatically, then they might listen but it would be too late.

I was driving during this game and listening on Grandstand, and they were absolutely livid with the performance of the referee all throughout the game. Then they interviewed Covell - as Gymp said he was absolutely livid.

Honestly, the standard of referees in our competition is the worst in any sporting competition in the world. I've seen some shockers, particularly in soccer, but this has reached crisis point, and only 2 weeks out from the finals. It's an absolute disgrace.

 

[Browny]

I find it disgraceful that they are getting worse dispite all the attention they have been receiving throughout the year.

Here is a replay of the Douglas sendoff with slow-mo and different angles, how the hell he got sent for this is beyond me. Robert Finch needs to be sacked and some changes need to be made.

If anyone sings that song on the field, well they deserve to be sent off.

Gymp you're an asshole. Tricking people into watching that is like tricking people into having aids.
