Foran butchered both those attempts. Should have easily slotted the first one.

Ref was riding the raiders that whole match. Some of the **** they got a way with was daylight robbery. The titans got called for even the smallest infringements. Des going to lose his **** here šŸ˜‚

I think both teams got through the game without any disruptors?

The NRL should make all the teams sit down and watch from start to finish so they learn how to do it.

I thought the game was a mess. Ruck infringements are a ****ing lottery. Then golden point it was a free for all.

I canā€™t believe a guy like Foran with his experience couldnā€™t gauge to take another tackle then have a shot. Deny Canberra the time to get down field at least.

I picked Canberra but being from QLD I was hoping the Titans would cause an upset even just a draw. What a game! Shattering for the Titans, they deserved a point out of the game. After that, Canberra won't make the 8, they looked hopeless & clueless with all the ball they had down their end to Canberra fans haha. That refereeing didn't help either though. Was pretty bad refereeing. The whole NRL need to pick their refereeing up, pick better ones or tell these referees to stop picking 1 side all night, be fair.

Do you think she got the job to have a female on the referee panel, or she is up to standard to keep up with the game.

I havenā€™t Watched to many with Badger in the centre.
She got the job to pander to the woke twats that run the game. There is zero chance she is a better ref than the dozens of men who do it.

She got the disruptor call right which not every ref can do apparently
We certainly had a lot of issues with ref in our game yet he was a male
I donā€™t see where she was horrendously worse than any of the others have been at times

I would cite nepotism for Kasey being an NRL ref, not gender.
Likely a factor

Same with Knights Roosters, the inconsistency in the ruck infringements. I know it will never be 50/50 but you can literally find an infringement in every tackle. Plenty of play the balls not using the foot etc.

Yeah Iā€™m not against her being a female and I donā€™t want to treat a referee differently because of it.

ā€œConsistencyā€ is the issue.

Always has been the issueā€¦

Those random 4th tackle six agains get me. You here the stupid tone and wonder what the hell it was for.

I don't mind if the referees miss these ruck infrigements in general every now & then, that will always happen but they can't do what happened tonight & the Roosters Knights game, ignore from 1 team & pick up every single one from the other team. To me that proves the refereeing is hopeless & not up to the standard for professional sport.
