So Salmon got 2 weeks for his hit on Martin yet neither the ref or bunker could see a penalty.
Outright cheating at 12-all with 5 to go.

 

[Andronicus]

No mention about the 2 crushers that could easily have resulted in a warriors send off though?

Absolutely. There's nothing unconscious about it.

The refereeing in general this year feels like an all time low.

Casey was terrible again yesterday in the bunker. And yet, she'll keep getting gigs.

All I ever want is consistency. I don't care if they sin bin someone for say a lifting tackle where the legs go flying, but that decision has to be the same all the time no matter how dumb it may seem. That's where the frustration amongst fans stems from IMO.

Annesly has said they got it wrong which is fine as every man and his dog knew it was wrong. Players are dropped for being out of form, the same should happen in the bunker or a match official. Badger gets things consistently wrong and never seems to be held accountable.

One thing Jason Paris did, rightly or wrongly when he called it out was, for the better part of season 2023 Warriors games were clearly reffed differently than what they had been for a very long time. Such a pity it had to come to that.

I have serious doubts I will ever see a Premiership in my time left.

 

[Andronicus]

Consistency is so frustrating.

Warriors had 2 players in separate crusher tackles and neither got binned. In another game they both go.

In another game they don't both go, that's the problem. If a Warriors player wasn't binned then I'm guessing there wasn't much in it.

Last week they weren’t even a penalty let alone a binning.

Crusher tackles are apparently not a binning offence atm.

 

[Aucklander]

Not sure what's funny. When I highlighted the inconsistency in the SoO game you blokes laughed it off then, yet here you are wanting it now.

No wonder the system is broken.

 

[Jatz]

The system being broken has absolutely zero to do with the fans...

 

[Aucklander]

The match official who denied the Warriors a chance of winning last weekend up and about again this weekend. Nobody seems to give a shit.

Hi guys. It seems I've just had, for the first time, a week's banhammer! Despite pottering around here for many years, and also in the TV and Music forums from time to time, I was rash enough to venture into the Politics folder, and wow, that's a scary place. Two posts, and bang! I shan't bother returning.

Has any other team ever got a bad call?

Or even more unbelievable, have teams playing the warriors ever copped an error from the officials?

Very dangerous territory if you don’t kiss the ass of Adam Bandt and the Greens. Also, no dissenting opinions to Greens policy allowed.

Plus there was 5 minutes left can you tell me for certain the Dogs still wouldn't have won? Warriors get their fair share of good calls their way too, every side does. You get some at home, you don't away, it happens that's footy

 

[Aucklander]

2023. The only year I can recall where the Warriors ever went close to a level playing field and look what that took.

Fans continue to accept mediocrity so long as it doesn't effect their team while some of us want consistency across the board.
