Monday night football !!

wuzzup guys hope you all had a great weekend. I did make some profit on sat games but lost some of them when I punted over in Broncos/Doggie game, oh well it was just 1 try shy. ref called held up at the end imo it should have been a benefit of the doubt try lolz.  

Agree 

BOL tonight bud and like the play myself

Disagree, the NRL want keep as many teams inhe hunt as possible till the last round...Newcastle fit this bill.

Canberra easily won the penalty count yesterday......

So that's why the warriors, titans, dragons and roosters lost...

Put an asterisk by the Dragons loss. That was wholehearted, unfathomed Tigger love by the lads in pink. Game turned with the foolish introduction of Soward but the refs made sure they got Wests over the finish line. To say they're killing off the other contenders in games not involving the Tigers though, is crazy talk.

Stern wouldn't allow the playoffs to be minus LeBron as the NRL wouldn't Bunjie...

Okay so if the NRL wanted more teams in, the Tigers would have lost.... right? You can't make exceptions to the rule, surely...

There is ONLY so much a ref can do...........What the fuck can the ref if the Warriors are missing simple one on one tackles?

THe refs gave the Raiders a leg up yesterday........and tonight Newcastle will recieve the same......

We absolutely dominated the Knights last week, DOMINATED in every way, yet they won the penalty count 6-2

There is NO WAY ON GODS GREEN EARTH that the dogs will win the penatly count this Friday night against the Tigers.....NO WAY.......

Danny Buderis was caught on the 5th tackle down the blind side, with all his team mates screaming its the last, the ball comes out and its a penalty against the dogs.......

Yep, Bedsy was trying to hold the ball , he wasnt trying to get rid of it......of course he wasnt being 5th tackle and all........

Knights score next set.......

The NRL would love nothing more than a SOuths TIgers GF..Nothing more.....The refs would have been fuming on Friday night when Manly were winning the game yet the Rabbits were up on the penalties 5-1.....This was the situation at the 50th minute mark....The refs would have loved nothing more than keep on blowing the penalties for Souths to come back, but given the exposure Des put them under during the week, it was too risky....The count end up 10-1....

Manly BENT the Souths line time after time on Friday, but still only recieved 1 penalty all game.......

So let's say a team is clearly infringing... like the roosters do every game.. Is the ref meant to ignore this? as the count must be even, as you say.

Rostos.. on this basis, you'll make a killing tonight... Plow that $1.80

There are far better ways to control the outcome than penalty counts, Such as ruck speed and a bigger or smaller 10 meter.

Look, a ref or refs CANNOT 100% make a team win. Absolutely not. What they do is, they tilt the % to who they want to win.

The ruck is a very very subjective thing, technically, you can almost blow a penalty on every tackle pretty much.

Look at the last 10 years of the correlation between teams that win the game and teams that win the penalty count...It will be pretty high.....

 

The sharks have a much much better roster than the Knights, especially in the forwards. The only thing from saving me from hitting the sharks is the refs.,

Crowd raises its voice and then a penalty gets blown...Very obvious....No way the sharks win the count tonight.....NO WAY.

looks like we have mixed opinions on covers. btw I m leaning on the over as well, anyone with me ?

No way they win the penalty count? well, better tell the Knights to behave then.... 3 penalties can be given within a minute which makes the count lobsided... but surely you don't need any more explanation..

Money coming for the sharks, so does that mean the refs haven't placed their newcastle bets yet?

yet the doggies will still rape them

Just looked at shark's next 3 round opponents, bunnies(home), storm(away) and cowboy(home). The shark now sits at 6 with 27 points. If they don't fire up tonight and beat this very winnable new castle knight, their chance of losing 2 out of last 3 matches are fairly great.
