2016 NRL Finals - Week 1 - MATCH THREAD

[Farmduck]

How can Mead be penalised for that?

 

The two main RL papers, the Telegraph and Courier Mail are both owned by Murdoch. The Broncos are about 70% owned by Murdoch. Just a coincidence.

[Futtocks]

Another questionable call from the referee relieves the pressure on Brisbane.

[Irish Saint]

I've had enough of this. Stevo would not stop talking until Christmas about some of the decisions in this game.

[Davo5]

And yet another decision against the Titans,Oats got himself in that position,this is a joke !!

[Graham]

Oates try.

[Futtocks]

Oates puts the game to bed. 32:18 with a conversion to come.

[Graham]

Broncos win

Game over.

Can't enjoy this.

[Graham]

Oh yes we've had it all here.

Put it another way, Brisbane have had it all their way.

[Graham]

No ref you did that wrong. You aren't supposed to penalise the Broncos, especially when they did nothing wrong.

What a poor poor performance by the officials here.

McQueen try

Is that allowed?

[Graham]

34-22

[Farmduck]

That McQueen try was ridiculously easy. I kept waiting for the refs to call it back because it was the wrong team. Maybe they could have awarded a penalty try to the Bronx.

[Sports Prophet]

I usually stand up for the men with the whistle but I can't agree more. This has been a woeful performance by the referees.

Something special to finish???

[Davo5]

Full credit to the Titans,haven't been allowed to win tonight,decimated with injury,no football but still in there swinging.

[Sports Prophet]

Unfortunately no

[Graham]

Milford try... Weird again

[Futtocks]

Mind you, the Titans haven't made it easy for themselves, with a lot of dropped balls.

 

A far better season than expected for them, though.

[Graham]

40-22 Broncos

[Graham]

Hard luck Titans.

Crowd 43,000

[Graham]

James scores a footballing try.

Very impressive.

That's a record breaking try for a prop.

[Futtocks]

Ryan James with a cheeky try!

[Graham]

40-28

Both teams scoring 25 or more points in our poll.

[Irish Saint]

I was thinking Raiders/ Sharks would both score more than 25.

[Graham]

So... Just 12 points the difference... Mmmmm, there were 12 iffy Broncos points.

Now a forward pass given that wasn't a forward pass.

This has been an appalling performance by the officials.

It has been made worse by the fact that their errors have benefitted just one team.

Shocking.

[Farmduck]

I gave up at 78 minutes.

[Davo5]

Forward pass,really ???
