Disgraceful

[Tomay]

Over the past 2 seasons I've noticed myself falling out of love with this game. The rule changes introduced to speed up the game and turn it into a highlight reel aren't to my taste. BUT its the constant blatant inept (possibly corrupt) refereeing, consistently favouring certain clubs that has done it for me. I haven't watched a non-Manly game this year. I have even missed a game and portions of a few games this season, something unheard of in the past.

I think I watched almost every Manly game completely between 2003-2021, I could count the number of games I missed with my fingers. The NRL has turned into an "entertainment" product, no better than Wrestling rather than being a sport. I'm not the only one losing interest.

He should f¥ck right off & stay where he belongs! That smirk on his face at the press conference…..hopefully one day some one knocks it off his face…..useless pri<k!

Great post @Tomay. Sadly a feeling many diehards have I think. I can cop a close loss and bad calls going against but last night and Friday for the knights were something else. It’s a rubbish product with clowns running and officiating the game.

Here’s another angle but the fact is,Perham dropped about a foot at the last second due to slipping and Tuipulotu lowered his body height as well,so not much more he could do

That doesn’t look like a head shot to me

Not sure what you’re looking at,shoulder is hitting the head but Tuipulotu couldn’t do anything more than he did

Initial contact was below the shoulders. Slid up as perham was falling.. anyone can freeze frame a tackle to make it look high in those instances.

I agree but the refs/bunker are still penalising players for high hits even if initial contact was lower.The problem is that fans and media want consistency so to achieve that,the NRL made the rules black and white,but that doesn’t allow for extenuating circumstances or common sense,in this case Perham slipped and lowered his height quite considerably,a split second before Tuipulotu got there
