Message: [QUOTE="Midean, post: 3541691, member: 10185"] After sleeping on this and reflecting on our win i cant help but wonder if corruption was at play with Atkens, because i refuse to believe any official is that incompetent. In a competition rife with incompetent officiating, this was the worst ive seen to date and i refuse to believe that an individual can make it to first grade refereeing being that terrible and the only course left is to believe he was on the take. The only thing that makes me think otherwise, was the fact that we did get some pretty handy 6 agains on the 5th close to the Roosters line, and if you were on the take, i dont think you get given those kind of penalties/infringement rulings. When Atkins blocked Smoothy then turned the ball over to the Roosters on the back of him obstructing play, all i could think in that moment was that he was on the take. There was some utterly baffling calls in that game, and i know im yelling into the wind and nothing will come of it, but he should not be allowed to officiate another game this year. Ive said it before and i will say it again. The only way i see a crackdown on poor officiating happening is if a Grand Final is lost by a team on the back of blatantly bad calls like last night. Otherwise it will be just like this week in week out, the same way it has been all season. Fucking frustrating because the first half was the best half of footy this year, and the second half might have been the worst half of footy this year because of the ref. [/QUOTE]
