The Titans completion rate, if you do that against Manly at Brookie, you're going to have a really bad night.

I thought Foran could have scored there if he stepped back in instead of passing it out.

Great call playing on.

It was technically a crusher, but he milked it for the penalty. I'm glad he came up with nothing.

Look at what Isaako did there.

If only Tesi could do that.

Titans had plenty of piggyback penalties and 6 against, Manly just have too much footy IQ

Just took his eyes off the ball at the last second.

You don't do that Sexton.

That’s the thing though, particularly when there’s so many grey area rulings as part of the rules, is that everything can be dictated by the referee. Non-calls or 50-50s can give a team either all the possession, or none of it. It can decide a team scoring 5 tries, or none of them.

When people say ‘yeah but they still lost by x-points’ that still doesn’t change that a referee can influence every part of the game outside any specific incident

If a game is fairly and evenly policed, then obviously the better teams will win more times than not. It’s when it isn’t that it’s usually the worse teams that lose any chance at winning

It's not so much about deciding the result, but just the quality of matches. Fans aren't going to the game to watch the referees call six again or send players to the bin, they want to watch the contest between the two teams. Too often teams are getting punished under the guise of rewarding the team on top.

I know I get bagged out for being an AFL fan (and rightly so at times with my promotion of it on a league forum) but honestly, this is one of the things that has made me watch it more than league these days. You tend to get an idea pretty early on which team is getting the ref's benefit for the game and unless the victim is one of the best teams, its game over before it even really gets started. AFL has some poor moments too but on the whole, there is a professional attempts at fairness...unless the Western Bulldogs are playing of course.

Fifita is an elite talent. Would love him back.

Had high hope for the Titans this season, if they could just sure up their f@#$n defense.

I agree Manly have been the better team but this has been across the board all weekend. I was thinking about the Bulldogs/Souths game especially where the referee decided they had to be the centre-piece and find a sin-bin against the Bulldogs.

Those missed conversions are going to be costly.

Put that one down to the ref with the ridiculous penalties against Manly.

Manly haven't been playing all that smart in the second half and they have lost a couple of players.
