Huge game for us this week.

 

[Falconista]

A pretty handy team is going to finish ninth this year. Great season!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Just read that Parra appealed the Sivo one. That was optimistic even though I felt it was soft. Didn’t work he’s missing 4 weeks now

 

[Aucklander]

More heavy rain is due in Auckland today and another sell-out.

 

[NSWCROW]

Can someone explain to me how it wasn't a penalty try before half-time ?

 

[NSWCROW]

And how is Johnson still on after the head knock ?

 

[NSWCROW]

Well mark that 1 down to the vid ref warriors fans

What a uniquely frustrating game is rugby league.

The bunker ignores a blatant penalty try, and the Warriors - CNK specifically, who we had under contract for this year til we forced him out - go straight up the other end and score.

We lose in golden point.

Refereeing in this game is broken, the rules change from week to week. And there's no excuse for the bunker's inconsistency, it adds nothing to the game. If anything it's a detriment.

 

[Aucklander]

Even the bunker's starting to turn.

Thought we were the better team for almost the entire game, but fell away in those last 90 seconds, especially with some poor defensive reads which, this year, is pretty surprising.

A beautiful field goal by SJ to win it.

Deserved win for the Warriors, I think it's more than fair to say.
What can you say about Reece Walsh; what a talent he is, in a not generally high-quality contest, the Broncs still produced some wonderful scores. But the Bunnies sure have worries.

 

[Aucklander]

The Knights taking full advantage of Sims cheap shot.

 

[Angus Young]

refs did all they could to get knights over the line

had to turn it over

load of bullshit

 

[Aucklander]

Looks like Manly nearly blew it.

Some excellent results for the Warriors.

The NRL, CH9, and the Referees would never have allowed them to lose that one!

 

[Aucklander]

Giving up 30 points wouldn’t have helped.

 

[eddiesmith]

Giving up 30 points wouldn’t have helped.

All straight from 4th tackle penalties…

 

[moto748]

The NRL, CH9, and the Referees would never have allowed them to lose that one!

It's all a big conspiracy!

 

[moto748]

And like they said: if it's "direct and forceful contact with Moses' head", then in that case, surely Moses needs to go for an HIA?

 

[Exe Gesis]

The ref was seemingly biased, sone dodgy calls against the Sharks

 

[eddiesmith]

It's all a big conspiracy!

Some teams who are always on FTA are always looked after. Other teams the NRL would be happy to see fold.

As soon as 9 said it’s season over for Manly if they don’t win, you know what’s going to happen .

No one could watch that game and say Cronulla got a fair go, even Nicho finally lost his cool at the disgraceful decisions.

 

[Aucklander]

I didn't see it, but I did see that alleged forward pass.

 

[Jatz]

Melbourne fans complaining about refs is one of the most hilarious things I've seen.

Grant was bloody lucky he wasn't given 10 for the blatant knees in the back play.

They're lucky they were that close to begin with - our goal kicking continues to be horrendous.

Agreed can someone tell me why Hastings isn’t kicking? He’s much better than Ponga who is mediocre at best with the boot. Grant should have been binned agree
