You know what, I could be ! Because watching a lot of the games last year the refereeing started to remind me of basketball - where a team that's behind tends get the rub of the 50/50 calls.
Referees are under pressure like everyone else in the game and I'm near enough to convinced that they do like to even out penalty counts and will blow some soft ones for a team that is behind on the scoreboard.

My 18-to-1 given up for dead New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl after an amazing run. I felt so blessed that I didn't wager nothing since September as I felt I would jinx up the whole lot.
And they won it all!!!
Took me two weeks to recover from my hangover, partying, and physical exhaustion. I was absolutely buggered beyond belief. Went down to New Orleans as well for the Conference Championship (game before the Super Bowl). Ran around like a fool, danced in the streets , and partied dead drunk in the gutters of the French Quarter for three days. Then cried like a baby at the game when then won.
But like they say....he who cries first, laughs last!!!

Yes. Officiating last season in the NRL was the worst, or most dubious, depends how you look at it, in recent memory. Head-shaking sometimes, out-right horrific others....

Won a grand final two years ago and still have the lowest member total
I'll never say a bad word about Manly ever. You guys know the story. Wrote in on here about a year ago. You might remember. Best night of my life.
Went out with the Sea Eagles after an exhibition game against the Chooks in Tokyo. Manly gave me and a mate free tickets to the game after we ran into them trying to figure out how to procure food at a McDonald's. HAHAHAHA! We ordered for them, they made us their unofficial tour guides of the city for a week.
We got to party with them after the game and it was pure madness.
Miles upon miles of train travel, scores of women whistled at, hit upon, fondled (willingly), one Tokyo city bus tipped onto two wheels whilst in operation (holy feck!), a city restaurant completely drained of all its beer (they ran fully out), a few more places, girls on both arms, Manly buying me FOUR, count 'em, FOUR DRINKS at a time throughout the night ("you're our translator, you need these" was their reasoning behind four at-a-time), and a tab that was well over $3,000 U.S. for the night.......and they told me, when I walked up to the till with them to hear the inevitable monetary damage....
................"yeah, 'tis alright mate....you've been a good sport, it's on the team."
