Referees have ruined the game. Absolute disgrace

[Raffa]

How is this lopsided of a referee performance allowed?

 

[IQofalimabean]

That ref should be sacked. tried his best to even it up at the end but he put the whistle away for most of the match.

 

[XV-1]

Manly made more errors than the ref.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Pretty miserable refereeing there..thank God the virtual crowd made some noise and enjoyed the game

 

[davohan123]

He was bad we had what 8 plays in the storms 20 they had close to 40 in ours.

Seriously any other team would of got beaten by 30 + tonight.

 

[TWO DOGS]

Disgraceful refereeing. Such obvious bias. Blatant cheating is the only explanation.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Seriously ****en cheating refs they had hands on us at every play the ball & they win that captains challenge.

 

[NewwyEagle]

Ref made some perplexing decisions but it was about the ones he didn't call, Melbourne are so good and they get away with too much. But it's not the ref's fault we had made 8 errors by the 48th minute. Honestly if Aloia never drops that ball I think we win.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Very bad refereeing BUT we lost that game from our errors not his !!

 

[The Royal Soup]

NRL want to host the GF in melb this year

no secret who they want in the GF then hey

corrupt cheating NRL

 

[Tragic Eagle]

It is disgusting!

 

[NYEagle]

The penalty with the Brandon Smith tackle was an absolute joke. I can't believe they manufactured a penalty out of that.

This...

Oh having a footprint in AFL heartland is so important... Yet no one ****ing wants to ****ing watch them.

 

[Cessnockturbo]

I wanna hang the but unto Parramatta next week guys it's not over

 

[johnperi01]

How does a team that holds down the opposition and always offside concede so few 6 agains? Let alone the other decisions that the dud/corrupt ref came up with.

 

[sharx]

That moment when we get penalised for marker not square
And when their markers are out of position they get coached into position by the ref

 

[The better Robbo]

They are so good at keeping their hands on the player trying to play the ball. It is only half a second but its enough to slow it down but not draw a penalty. This happens pretty much every tackle.

 

[The Insomniac]

Not one 50/50 went our way. How was Aloioi's mistake a knock on ?? Ruben went ok but shish he can't grab a bouncing ball FFS. How many restarts did they get? They were laying a 'll over us but nothing our way. We can absolutely beat these bastards with some 50/50 calls. The Shu was every average tonight too.

 

[Dan]

Wish we had the dogs next week. We need an opponent that you can really lay the boot into and the referees just don't care

 

[JBW]

I'm not blaming the refs tonight, yes lopsided but we were still good enough to win it.
