did you watch the game? I was there and the refs were doing a poor job of keeping the storm onside and letting them slow the play the ball all night long.


then there was the Billy slater Knock on 5mins from half time where the touchie called knockon but the ref overruled it and let billy run 20m because our boys stopped cos they thought it was there ball, then in the same set storm knocked on again but then it was called play on and 6 again, then they put up a bomb where Jennings was clearly held back from contesting it and they scored on half time to make it 18 - 12.


if the first knockon (WHICH WAS A NO BRAINER) was called CORRECTLY we would have had a full set in there 10, worst case scenario is we go to half time 12 - 12, or we score and its 18 - 12 our way, We only lost by a try and 2 penalty goals (which were suspect) so that 1 call is a game changer. the favoritism to the storm is disgraceful , they bend the rules all night long and get away with it.


They played well melbourne, but that doesnt justify the complete crap the refs dished out on us last night, I got back to the car and turned on 2GB and heard caller after caller complaining about the refs, and the call team agreed the refs were bad last night.

 

over 19k were there dickhead, and i hardly saw a storm jersey.

Melbourne were prob the better team, but we did not get a fair shake all damn game, and that 1 try before half time really made the world of difference
