DCE taking an absolute hammering from the QLD press.

At the end of the day he exploited a rule which allowed him to renege on his Titans contract. Actually surprised the NRL didn't act before he had the chance to change his mind.

So disillusioned with the game right now at this level. It's bad enough supporting a team who just doesn't get it, but watching them reamed by an absolute joke of a ref so many times just makes me want to walk away. Such a pity this w***er couldn't pick up forward passes before the damage was done.

What I just don't get is, how the All Blacks can do it, our Super rugby sides can do it, our 20s have no issue with it, the NZ Breakers have won multiple NBL championships doing it, but the Warriors after 20 years still struggle with jumping on a plane and play hard, tough, smart footy. So bloody frustrating.

On a brighter note today, the 3rd Melbourne born and bred player making his debut for the Storm tonigh.

Was another great turnout in Perth though, a really good atmosphere at the ground among the Souths supporters.

They (Perth) simply can't be ignored anymore.

Parramatta 24 leading Nth Queensland 6 at Half Time. Quite possibly the best half of football we have played since 2009.

So Parra were leading by 24 points at the 55 minute mark. It's now the 68th minute and the Cowboys are leading 36-30

LOLOLOLOLOL. Probably the worst defensive display in a 13 minute span I've ever seen.

 

[DEVO]

And now we've thrown it away.

The worst defensive display in a 13 minute span I've ever seen. Legit.

 

[Oscarman]

We are a ******* joke. So many peahearts. Has Keiran Foran changed his mind yet?

 

[Klim]

Well Parra that escalated quickly.

 

[Aucklander]

Quite the capitulation.

 

[moto748]

You have to credit the Cowboys, though, they played some great footy.

Referees boss Tony Archer has confirmed match officials made a mistake in awarding a try against the Warriors in their loss to the South Sydney Rabbitohs at the weekend.

The admission was one of three officiating blunders in round 13 of the NRL confirmed by Archer on Tuesday.

The wrong decision was made in the Warriors game when Bryson Goodwin was awarded a try. Archer said the Rabbitohs star had been run down by Warriors half Shaun Johnson who tackled him. Goodwin got up from the tackle and went on to score a try with referees Jared Maxwell and Chris Butler ruling he was not held.

Archer disagreed.

"He was held," Archer said.

"At that point he was tackled, there is still contact on the player on the ground."

Easy to say now Souths have the points.
