You want my true thoughts on the reffing the game was trash but ok I’ll give you my true thoughts…. Both the on field ref and bunker were not up to standard.

Whilst we got lucky on that try at a crucial time it shouldn’t have been a try there was plenty of calls that went the Dragons way like Ilias try that he didn’t lose control of the ball his fingers never left the ball many of those are tries. Cook on half time 3 efforts on him when he’s trying to play the ball many of those are sin binned. Keaon on attack chasing a grubber kick dragged down without the ball no penalty. Trell tackled with the ball nowhere near him which hurt his shoulder no penalty etc etc….. the play ball speed too our was slower than theirs we were held down more and we still we barely got a six again. In fact I think we are 4th or 5th last in the comp for six agains received set restarts. Cody hip drop tbh I thought it was play on no way that’s a hip drop utter nitpicking it was you see 80 of those a game. We had our fair share of rough calls that’s for sure. Funny how nobody mentioned the 2 tries the Sharks scored last week off blatant forward passes etc………. I know we’ve played badly lately but I have felt like we haven’t really been getting the rub of the green mind you I get the Dragons fans probably feel the same.

In saying that I understand Dragons fans being pissed off at being robbed by the bunker 3 weeks in a row. I know many teams have felt hard done by of late. Overall I think we can all agree the reffing has been worse this year and it’s a circus and an utter lottery.


Edit….. another shocker was the Murray to Duncan pass on halfway not forward at all.

In all seriousness, heres a free tip for you:- you will enjoy rugby league much more once you stop worrying about whatever it is the refs are doing

Not wishing bad karma on JMK.

Didn't expect to be doing up a Hutchison banner. Nice to add some more colours to the mix though.

Kiraz vs knights ( eg rd 18 massacre)
Rapana vs storm

I can’t help it, it’s just how I am… even watching neutral games sometimes I zone out and lose interest if it’s being reffed poorly it irritates me. I can handle a tight 50/50 call but when they’re howlers gggrrrrr…… we could be so much better but I feel the NRL ref stocks have gotten a bit worse this season compared to last.

What’s happened to Cheese is that he’s gone stale since I brought him in to be my 18th player and I’ve no choice but to play him next week. Ugh! Also, no centre is getting injured or concussed, meaning Drew Hutch isn’t moonlighting as Aubbo 2.0, thus no Sandon at 7, and Brandon staying at 9.

Truthfully. I’ve no clue what’s going on with his minutes, or whether he’s actually not 100 percent, or if Trent sees this as what’s best for the team for the remainder of the season, but it is a tad irritating.
