You can't blank out the rest of the game and say that moment was all that made the difference either mate

Never did. I disagreed that it had no effect on the result . Every decision has an effect in the result

 

[Sparkles]

Haven't read yet, any ref chat?

Nah. Everyone feels Penrith just played better

Nah pretty quite other than him costing us the game….

 

[bort]

Nah. Everyone feels Penrith just played better

But have reasonably suggested we should have just played the perfect game of football

Exactly , i Mean that’s what Penrith did yeah?

The usual blend of balance and impartiality really

If we eradicate 50% of our errors and have similar “ref issues”, then I’ll heartily agree they may affect the result of the game. But if we did get rid of the errors we’ve probably won so no need to analyse things.

Look 95% of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt. The other 5% is conjecture

just remember if someone mentions an individual error or missed tackle that must be the only moment in the game they think mattered, so it’s important to correct them that that exact thing wouldn’t have mattered if other circumstances were different

You wouldn't have said that if we'd stopped that early second half try

If we lost by 40 that would make sense. We lost by 10 , against the premiers, you need some of those calls to go your way

If we played tiger tonight we would have won

Please guys - stop blaming the ref. Yes a few things went against us but that's footy. Great teams get the benefit of the doubt.

We lost plain and simple because:

We played the first 25 like we did against Melb a few weeks ago. The remaining 55 we played like we did against Broncs and Raiders. The only difference now is that our defence is better and the wet conditions kept it a contest.

This one hurt. It was a winnable game.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Nah. Everyone feels Penrith just played better

Ahhh thought that night be the case

 

[Sevshark]

Tolman comes on after that opening 20 and we win this game.

This, 100%

Not sure I’m getting my point across so I’ll leave it there. We actually did have a few calls go our way.

 

[sharksandwich]

Did anyone watch when Parramatta beat the team whose 8 points clear of the comp at home? We werent so close to that.

That one irks me because it was a double whammy. Anyways it was a semi final type game hope we learnt something

We only made two more mistakes then Penrith but we completed at 70%

Agree take some chances and fix some discipline but as I said earlier we are being coached to slow the ruck.

Some obvious ref blunders but unfortunately that’s part of it. People just don’t like coping the simple ones.
