Message: [QUOTE="something, post: 3083742, member: 8835"] Whats everyone’s thoughts on NRL’s reaction to the grand final, mainly Beattie. I know it’s important to support your own, but he is siding with Cummins / referees, saying it was the right call. I don’t think that anyone is saying that the Roosters were undeserving. They are an awesome team, fun to watch, strong defense, and they were holding Canberra off. But, I do think that the call changed the game. Canberra on top, all momentum. Dodgy call that ***** up your play and obviously has a psychological toll. You’d be feeling hard done by that next set of 6, and sometimes that’s all you need. So back to the question, thoughts on NRL publicly backing refs? I feel that, as a fan, it’s actually a bit of a “**** you, leave us alone”, they haven’t taken ownership or apologized really. Take one look at social media and you can tell it was the wrong call. But to come out and say “imagine if it went the other way around”.... I can imagine that, and it would have been far less controversial. I’m still upset over this, it’s been a few days and I wasn’t even emotionally invested in that game. But I’m upset. We are seeing the after effects of a rotten culture. One where cronyism is valued higher than results. And it’s killing Rugby League. [/QUOTE]
