RABBLE RABBLE Tigers Robbery - Refereeing Farce

[Sproj]

Credit to the Cows boss dude. That was smart operating. You just know that when you are on the beneficial end of something like this, you are going to get hammered next week by the refs. He has come out on the front foot and reminded everyone of why they are a darling team to negate the referee backlash next week.

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.

Haha what a pack of clowns.
Imagine praising a bloke like Feldt because he is good at milking penatly's.

Go play soccer you flogs.

The Cows should be very worried about needing one of the most controversial decisions ever to get the 2 points against the 16th ranked West Tigers

Be interesting to see what they produce in the coming weeks

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

Usually.

I mean, $8 odds are pretty tempting in league.

There are 48 betting agencies involved with the NRL. That's a lot. Plus a former bookie runs the joint.

Just saying that it is a pretty bad look.

I mean, we could also get into the whole Sutton Bros. kabal conspiracy. In any case, something has to change in the NRL.

for those that didn't punish themselves by watching Annersleys spin session, here is what he said about why the captains challenge was allowed

“The rule around a captain’s challenge talk about, you can challenge any decision made by the referee to stop a game,” Annesley said.

“You won’t find anywhere in black and white a specific rule that talks about can you make a challenge after time has expired... but in this particular case the referee blows a whistle after he has been told by the timekeeper time has expired, he blows the whistle to stop play.

“That is not the end of the game, that first whistle is not a full-time whistle, that was a whistle to stop play, now that becomes a stoppage.

“The challenge was mounted on the basis of the escort or the obstruction that the Cowboys believe happened in that play.

“It is an unusual situation... there are no boundaries on that other than it must be a stoppage initiated by the referee and it has to result in a structured restart.

“We are comfortable that the captain’s challenge was allowable in this circumstances, just as it would have been had the situation been reversed.”

what he ended up continually stumbling over, while being grilled by the journos was that the play would have not resulted in a structured restart had the final "short whistle" not been blown.

he then used the penalty that was given as a result of the challenge as the structured restart required by the captains challenge rule

I guarantee vlandys will come down harder on manlys players than this shitshow of a decision by the referees.

Love this, actually. It's going to be a lovely reality check on why ideological battles shouldn't be used for marketing purposes. The club should be clear on their values, and stand by them, but they really should be careful about merchandising them. Nice big can of Israel Folau flavoured worms being opened today.

To me that one is still the worst, as there was no technicality for them to hide behind.
