Friggin Tigers/Knights game aged me by about 20 years yesterday too

It aged you??? I was at Campbelltown to watch the refs destroy the game live. I must say I was impressed, 18,000 in cold weather, and a good third would have been Knights supporters.

While the reffing was a square-up in the second half, (lots of crowd penalties) the Tigers should not have needed to score in the last 2 minutes to take the lead, that Tuiaki try was denied, even though it was a dead certain try. And that final pass was not forward, the one about 3 earlier than it, was.

Knights are goooone, they have over half their squad out injured, Brisbane will blow them out of the park next week. Tigers played terribly for 50 minutes, but then Benji fired up, Farrah was motm for me though, he made the Knights defense look very silly.

I was heading towards a good week too Bobby, Jones stuffed me up, then the Knights didn't help, so now it's just an okay week.

I thought you would of been there. My brother and I thought about going but it was too cold.

Yeah it aged me. I was just waiting for them to lose the game. I was fuming when Tuiaki's try was denied. Benji's last 25minutes really impressed. Just hope we can hold onto this form and not play so hot and cold.

I agree the reffing was shocking. The NRL really needs to do something about that.

I agree the reffing was shocking. The NRL really needs to do something about that.

Getting them castrated so their incompetence cannot be genetically passed down to them, or taught to them by their fathers would be a good start... hang on, that would mean that women would want to bed a ref... my error.

The game wasn't totally ruined by the reffing, but it is getting to the point where in every close match you wonder what official will blunder and directly affect the outcome with an erroneous decision. What really got my goat yesterday was the lack of consistency in the calls.

Titans panthers should be a good game, a depleted Titans should be an equal match for a full strength panthers and Penrith Stadium. Won't be heading out there, too bloody cold.
