How many times do those "top" clubs get away with everything especially Melbourne compared to all the other clubs mate? I know a lot of people that think it is ridiculous these days.
That’s the sad thing mate. And it’s something the NRL needs to address. Someone mentioned before about inconsistency. That’s what the NRL has to deal with and unfortunately a lot of people misinterpret this for “some clubs getting their own way.” It is easy to form this opinion and quite frankly when I was younger I did think some teams had it better.
But there’s an old saying, “you make your own luck in this world” and some teams work hard at it.
The other saying is “the harder I work, the luckier I get.”
I truly believe that no referee suddenly thinks, “hang on this is the Roosters or this is the Storm (etc) we’d better give them this try.”
Yes they make wrong decisions that make them seem corrupt but they’re not. They’re just inconsistent.
I don’t recall us getting too many bad calls in 2016. And if we did, we were good enough to overcome them.
We really have to stop thinking that the refs or NRL are out to get us. It’s just that as a team at the moment we’re not working hard enough.
We have to be smarter.
Looking for shortcuts is the road to failure.
Work hard and the rewards will come.
