RABBLE RABBLE Tigers Robbery - Refereeing Farce

[bazza]

Annesley said they had a right to challenge, but disagreed with the decision. Me, I don't care. The whinging about refereering goes on after every game. It's weak as piss. You suck it up. You move on.

Annesley comfortable with challenge, not penalty following

Graham Annesley says he is comfortable with the North Queensland Cowboys being able to challenge the contact on Kyle Feldt but not with the outcome of the decision

I do agree about the whinging about refereeing decisions. Its why Its so refreshing to see the way Walters operates. He never uses poor refereeing decisions as an excuse.

However, my issue is that the bunker and the challenge system is meant to be eliminating refereeing howlers. But the people in the bunker are the ones creating these howlers now. The refs for the most part do a good job (apart from the phantom 6-agains). Challenging a refereeing decisions is flawed though when there is incompetence in the bunker. There have been many times like yesterday where they simply make the wrong decision. Or other times where there is conclusive evidence to overturn a decision, but they say there isn't enough evidence. Or when they end up reviewing something entirely different and end up giving a penalty for something completely different to what was being challenged.

North Queensland boss Jeff Reibel says:

“If they are going to look to overturn something on one decision, doesn’t that open a Pandora’s box,” Reibel said.

“Where do you start and stop? My understanding is that we won the game. I understand that the opposition would want some explanation for why those decisions were made.

“As far as we’re concerned we won the game within the rules. Do you want to go back to 2013 when we lost a final because Manly knocked on and it wasn’t picked up, or Cronulla scored a try on the seventh tackle?

“We have been on the other end of it. We won that game fair and square.”

Any excuse to play that card.

There is a difference in this situation though, the game was over…

Someone bet 200k on the cows. Makes you wonder.

It surely does. Plus it tells you why things won't be reversed. Imagine Sportsbet right now.

The victim complex of the Cowboys never ceases to amaze

Bookies usually gain a lot more if the shorter priced team goes under.

As the old saying goes, the standard you walk past is the standard you accept. Most fans don’t accept this standard but are pretty powerless to have their voice heard any other way,

Klein has photos of someone, I’m sure of it.

Unless it’s the bloke who lay 200k down that was being catered to.

I’ll bet vlandis knows a few high rollers too.

Unless he is doing exactly what the NRL is asking of him.

I encourage everyone to go check out the game day thread over at the Stampede forums. We deadset live rent free in their heads lol Every 2nd post is about BHQ and the Broncos.

 

[Browny]

Lol exactly what I expected to happen. So yet another tweak to a bs rule. Please have this happen to Penrith

Imagine a world where the NRL had people who can put their hand up when they fucked up rather then being filled with people who just think about saving their own skins.

No accountability, no consistency it's getting pretty tiresome.

Culture comes from the top. I dare anyone to find an example of V'landys taking accountability for anything in his whole life.
