Finals thread

[double hoops]

No team deserves that stitch up.

Blatant match fixing. I doubt that I will follow the NRL with much interest anymore. I feel foolish to believe it's for real..like Santa really exists

 

[HoldenV8]

A few things will come out of this game.....

James Roberts might get charged by the MRC and might get suspended for it, but I doubt it. The interesting thing is how the ref first claimed he didn't see it, then later said that he thought the player on the ground was holding onto Roberts' leg. Did he see it or didn't he?

Corey Parker will escape sanction for his headbutt, but the reality is that his career should be now over.

And the refs comment about the Tits only being 12 behind? Anyone remember Joe the Cameraman? Funny though, within about a minute or two of that comment came the forward pass call that made certain the Tits wouldn't score. Why on earth would the referees want to know about the score unless they had a vested interest in it?

Then there was the decision to give Brisbane a penalty for Mead putting Oates in a dangerous position. The replay clearly showed that Oates pit himself into that position and that Mead only had eyes for the ball.

Archer and Greenturd will come out tomorrow (or Monday) and say that they are happy with how the refs and bunker were in tonight's game and Greenturd will try to spin that the game's integrity has never been stronger.

More corruption than the Fitzgerald Inquiry.

Archer and the turd can come out and say anything they want because i wont be watching. Ill be busy watching afl untill our next game (2017)
I felt sorry for the titans, who i have never felt anything for before and my intrest in the game in general is getting eroded futher by watching games like that.

BUT

The high rating Donkeys remain to maybe fight off in another QLD blockbuster, Chan 9 ( owners of the game) salivating at the thought of the advertising dollars to come in!!

 

[mickqld]

I'm over it. I watched the Billion dollar hotel instead of that crap. I knew it was going to be a ref farce so there wasn't any point.

WHAT!!!! Santa doesn't exist!! Well that's upset me even more now.

Don't believe everything you read on here Janice. Trust me Santa is real.

I have to say that if Manly had copped that hatchet job I'd be apoplectic

You get a 'Winner' just for using 'apoplectic'.

 

[midsteyne]

the shonky donkies fans were gloating up here this morning,i hate that
i am hoping that Roberts and Parker cop a suspension for the kick and the headnbutt,i doubt they will even get charged but I hope it happens and screws the finals aspirations of bennett and his band of merry men

 

[wedgetail eagle]

I would've liked to have seen Titans captain Friend walk his team off in protest, to really draw attention to these shonky Refs. If so, would the Broncos win by forfeit/default?

 

[Ralphie]

I have to say that if Manly had copped that hatchet job I'd be apoplectic

We did in the 2013 GF

 

[wedgetail eagle]

BTW, Fittler's half time interview with Hayne walking off the field was a fizzer. Hayne, pretty much brushed old Freddy.
They're a waste of time, anyway.

 

[Bearfax]

The winners of this years GF. My head says the Storm. My heart says the Sharks (only because they havent won one yet, and even though they are far from my second favourite side)

 

[KingsCrossEagle]

Last night was a waste of an hour or so of my life...f*ck the NRL and their pathetically obvious bias

 

[nightster]

I watched with some old friends last night ... we were talking NRL before hand & I had a big whinge & rant a bout corruption and match fixing and they said I was a paranoid conspiracy theorist .... the we watched the game ..... before it was over they were wanting to lynch the refs , then after Archers 'explanation'? they wanted to stuff him up Turds backside and take them both 12 miles out with a large anvil ... anyone who watched that game must be stunned !!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So we are off again shortly, wonder who cops the stich up in the first game?
