The Warriors have a right to bitch about the refs after that game against Cronulla. The Raiders have a right to bitch about the refs after that game against Cronulla.
Cronulla should kept their mouths shut and be grateful that the worst calls of the year were in their favour.

Yeah it was laughable that Flanagan even referenced the Raiders game in an attempt to try an be balanced and then went on to have a whinge and moan that even my 4 year old on his worst day wouldn’t be able to emulate.
There is something in what @mariner4life memtioned earlier about the almost 24 hour of talking heads on Fox, Ch9, Sydney and Brisbane radio, that relentlessly criticise reffing.
Fans get swept up in it and feel the rage, call their shock jock and it feeds into the general vibe of any discussion about the game. When they’re not backslapping each other, they criticise refs. There’s not much analysis going on (not that it’s needed for the worlds simplest team sport), but the clubs/coaches think they can get away with it because that’s what the experts and fans think. Sure they’ll get a fine but it will probably endear them more to the fan base.

Panthers coming home strong after being down a bit against the Manly.

Panthers now lead 28-24. Manly led 24-6

Manly with a 2017 Warrior-esque 2nd half choke.

@act-crusader Manly have to be firming as favourites to win the wooden spoon.

I go on a few sports forums in a few different codes ,
it's interesting, common theme , all groups of supporters claim they are the victims when it comes to reffing decisions.

Except the Storm. They just get fucked over and their titles stripped years later

Isaac Luke is out of the game against the Gold Coast Titans and the return of Tohu Harris has also been put back a week too. No decisions on what the match-day squad will look like but I'm guessing this:
VODAFONE WARRIORS
1 ROGER TUIVASA-SHECK (c)
2 DAVID FUSITU’A
3 GERARD BEALE
4 SOLOMONE KATA
5 KEN MAUMALO
6 BLAKE GREEN
7 SHAUN JOHNSON
8 JAMES GAVET
22 MASON LINO
10 AGNATIUS PAASI
11 ISAIAH PAPALI’I
13 SIMON MANNERING
14 JAZZ TEVAGA
Interchange:
15 SAM LISONE
17 BUNTY AFOA
20 KARL LAWTON
21 LEIVAHA PULU -
Luckily didn't see this game but it sounds similar to the Penrith match - they turned up for a holiday instead of doing some work.

That second half was pathetic. Why does Auckland suck at sports?
