Message: [QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 3496884, member: 8255"] Thanks Pete, I don't know how you're always so measured in your responses haha! You're right about the 3 warnings, I was waiting for the Raiders to do it again and have an immediate send off (even though I heard no warning) but they were smart and didn't infringe again, and we choked. I thought a shoulder charge was a reportable offence these days, regardless of circumstance? I honestly didn't think there was much wrong with it, but after some of the calls of late I really have no idea what's ok and what's not. Also agree Atkins was calling play on while his head was already thinking something different with Capewell pushing, but if there was a dummy half and Canberra get the ball away I don't think it's a penalty, the play on call would have stood. These are the frustrating areas as a fan, where it seems as though your team gets the bum end of calls simply due to circumstance, and I do fully acknowledge they are difficult to get consistent. If Kurt doesn't push him away, we probably get to play on with the ball there. It's a bit silly but also illustrative of the 50/50 calls we did not get our way tonight. Agree too about that offside penalty, was blowing up big time about that but again - while we probably were offside, no more so than most other tackles all game. Why penalise that one to cover the poor Raiders error? It leaves a bad taste in the mouth for Broncos fans, especially after the Canberra intercept when we were again peppering their line which was a blatant offside and just waved through. These can be game-changing moments. The Haas run...again, we just didn't get the 50/50's. Which in isolation I can cop, but they were very one-sided in how they fell tonight. The way neutrals are also blowing up all over the web makes me feel a bit justified in my outrage, haha! It doesn't take away from the fact we were atrocious, though. Lots of work to do. [/QUOTE]
