Friday night - Rigged / corrupt / crooked / fixed in game.

thanks champ, was watching the game

Knights got shafted 2nd half

Why do Queenslanders always come in and spoil the game?

I know you're a Queenslander, but still you do realise that we get the Broncos Friday night game on delay?

So if we wanted to watch it...

Look, i am on the under in this Broncs game...Seriously, penalties 4-0 after 33 mins?

It simply just comes down to what bets the refs and there families have placed on the night, thats all it is.....

That Knights obstruction........The storm did exactly the same thing against the Roosters and they had no hesitation.

The vid ref, is he fatigued? Is he blind sighted? Did it happen all too quick for him? Was he looking at something else?

NO.....

So why is there so much inconsistency? I have been on several forums tonight, non gambling league forums and they all sad it was a joke...

This league is quickly becoming worse than the IPL.

 Canberra get their first penalty after 51 minutes

I'm a fan of the team and have been since they were born, but I'm struggling to comprehend the 6-1 start and the dominance they've shown at times. 

Given the absence of Lockyer I thought they'd battle early on (although I think eventually they'll become a better side without him, strange as that may sound) and tonight with a side that basically resembled last year's 'baby broncos' they've completely trampled an ordinary canberra side albeit one with an established halves pairing that must've come up here with some serious belief after Wallace, Teo and a couple of others were ruled out. 

strange as it is, my own side is probably the one I'm struggling most to get a read on thus far  

I've been mightly impressed by Brisbane this year, said as much in a thread last week.

I honestly thought they would struggle sans Lockyer, bottom of the eight type side (in 2012).

Tonight they have bitch-slapped a (albeit bipolar) Canberra side without their halfback.... good signs for Broncs fans.

Second best side in the comp at the moment, daylight third.

They look really well coached to me, word to Anthony Griffin

Hmmm boys i did think that should have been a try as did rabbits and Gus but hey as we are all begining to realise they cant keep calls the same more than a week.

NRL= going down hill, please players now realise even the smallest contact with the head stay down and get penalty and it was all created by video ref getting involved all the time. Just fuck off and concentrate on getting the try calls right

It simply just comes down what bets the refs placed on the night...Thats all it is....

He wasnt fatigued, he wasnt blind sighted, he had as many replays as he wanted, he had different angles, so why didnt he award it?

REFEREES' boss Bill Harrigan has declared Newcastle should have been awarded a critical try in Friday night's game against St George Illawarra - instead of having it denied by video referee Bernard Sutton because of an obstruction.

Harrigan said that while there was no doubt Dragons second-rower Beau Scott was impeded by Newcastle prop Kade Snowden pulling up in the defensive line as the Knights continued to attack outside of him on the way to second-rower Zeb Taia scoring a try, the interference was not serious enough to warrant the try being disallowed.

''I thought it was a try,'' Harrigan said yesterday. ''I was watching on TV at home and straight away I thought it should have been awarded. I watched a number of replays and that only confirmed it in my mind. I've had a chat to [fellow referees' boss] Stuart Raper, and he thought it was a try as well. We've got a clause in the guidelines now which says that if a play doesn't affect the scoring of a try, you can give the try. I didn't think the Newcastle player coming into the defensive line and stopping had any effect on the ability of the Dragons to stop the try. I'm pretty confident on that one. The attack had moved on and the contact was pretty far from where the real action was happening by then. The try would have been scored regardless.''
