And it's hilarious listening to Nine's commentators expressing amazement at how Brisbane always gets Friday games and no Sunday ones. Such a mystery how that happens...

There's a reason I didn't go to this game :(

I don't mind being beaten by a better team, but poo poo refereeing is a different story. You see it ask over the place - Hodges shoved Simona over into touch as he was getting up and the ref just told them to play it as he wasn't out since he was playing the ball when out. No penalty for slowing the play the ball, of course.
Do yourself a favor and just try not to worry about the ref decisions, it will help

as a support of a team also in danger of the getting the spoon go Broncos :toot:

Don't worry, you're losing to a better team, not poo poo refereeing

I'm just an optimist that wishes that the refs were even slightly competent at their jobs. I understand they make mistakes and am pretty forgiving but the frequency of terrible calls they make is just incomprehensible. All I ask for is an even playing field.

And as I say that the refs just let woods be knocked over well after being held, again. I'd accuse them off being bent but I don't think they're that competent.

Holy poo poo we got a penalty. Apparently they couldn't quite ignore a shoulder charge on a defenceless kicker, much as they might try.

My blood pressure dropped as soon as I realized I couldn't do anything about the refs so why worry about it? If you get screwed by them it's just like an act of god

So frustrating when you see so many let go and then the one critical one gets called. Not a wrong call, just annoying.

Nice to see the broncos letting us off the hook a few times when we could be down by 30.

That was a classic "going with refs call". No idea from the video what actually happened (HD video might have helped, gently caress you nine). Honestly what I expected out of the game so far, but I would have lived to see what the able would have been like if the first try was correctly called back instead of starting the rot. I'd also like if we weren't a giant pile of poo poo, too.

The view from the front is pretty hard to tell but the view from behind shows his foot lift before the line. Thats where the touchie was looking from as well and he was adamant it was a try

Hey, my position is that the referee staff are incompetent - we just got one our way finally.

Edit: don't get me wrong, I just want decent refereeing. I'm in no illusory state that the broncos shouldn't be leading this game by a mile, I just want them to earn it without ridiculous levels of help.
