Message: [QUOTE="anzac7, post: 2436574, member: 7793"] Oh for sure, we lost game 2 for that exact reason (EDIT: this is not sarcasm) - we had it for the taking and didn't. I guess what I'm getting at is before the players run onto the field NSW has always had that advantage going into a game (the refs). The refs would be more mindful of making a dubious/borderline call against NSW than against QLD simply because of who is breathing down their necks - they can't escape it because of the history, it is in their minds and as you said, they are only human, it remains there throughout the game. I personally think Archer is one of the best SOO refs we've had for a while, but game 1 this year is the first time I can remember feeling the refs were a bit more on our side - like some justice was done in the game, and look how that ended... Seriously, the first time I felt that and then I knew what NSW feel like every other game (as far as refs are concerned). [/QUOTE]
